Document damage
Even subtle damage can ruin a document. Characters may be
cut by sharp edges within the reader sorter. If there are wrinkles
in the document, the reader sorter may be causing its own
errors. Leading edge damage in the reader sorter is a common
problem with short-grain documents.
Check to find out if the paper stock was damaged in some way
before it went through the laser printer. Damage can include
spots, weak areas in the paper, and creases. If possible, obtain
quantity samples of the stock to assess its quality before a print
run.
Excessive ink smears
Abrasion should be negligible in a well adjusted reader sorter.
However, at speeds of up to 400 inches per second, treatment
may be rough enough to abrade paper. If there are many
smears, investigate the following causes:
•
Stock incompatibility
•
Paper surface too rough or too smooth
•
Paper moisture content too high
•
Poor dry ink adhesion to the paper
Since the reader sorter operation is usually not under the
supervision or control of the check issuing agency, ask the
proper agency to investigate the document-to-head pressure
(either the read or the write head) in the reader sorter.
Paper size and characteristics
Make sure that the paper requirements for both the printer and
the reader sorter are met.
MICR line format
Check for the following in the MICR line:
•
Is there anything unusual about the content or intended
position of the MICR line?
•
Are the MICR line content and position correct?
•
Are there any dependencies between the MICR line and the
reader sorter control documents?
