MICR Reading/Image Scanning/Printing
(Factory installed options)
With the scanning function, when a check is inserted into the
printer, the check image is digitized and stored, which saves check
processing time and cost. EPSON recommends the following
sequence for single-pass processing. The single pass eliminates the
need to turn the check paper over.
1. MICR reading
2. Pre-scanning
3. Endorsement printing (printing on back)
4. Printing on front
5. VOID printing
6. Scanning
Notes on Using the Image Scanner
❏
Be sure to include the pre-scanning step because it can minimize as
much as possible problems of decreasing image data quality caused by
environmental temperature, wear of scanner parts, great variation in
color shading of the background of a check, and input voltage
fluctuation.
❏
The quality of image scanning on the front of a check may be reduced
by a large variation in density of an ink ribbon cassette.
❏
Be sure to consider these other conditions that may reduce image
quality:
•
Extremely low density of handwriting on the front of a check.
•
Extremely high density of the background of a check.
•
An extremely large variation in the density and color tone of the
background of a check.
•
Many folds or wrinkles in a check.
•
Exposure of the image scanning part of the printer to strong
sunlight.
•
A foreign object, such as sand, entering the printer and
scratching the glass surface of the scanner.
CAUTION:
Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams,
MICR reading errors, and damage to the MICR head.
Be sure the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.
