Using the Optional MICR Reader
The optional, factory-installed magnetic ink character recognition
(MICR) reader lets the printer read MICR ink on personal checks.
CAUTION:
Do not insert checks with staples in them. Do not insert wrinkled checks.
1. When the SLIP light flashs, insert the check face down, with the
MICR characters on the right-hand side.
2. Insert the check straight into the inlet using the right edge of
the inlet as a guide, as far as the check will go. See illustration
3. The printer starts drawing the check in. Let go of the check
immediately. The SLIP LED goes from flashing to on.
4. When MICR reading is complete, the printer ejects the check
and the SLIP LED starts flashing again.
5. Remove the check by pulling it straight out (not at an angle).
The SLIP LED goes off.
Cleaning the Roll Paper Print Head
After printing, the print head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it
and to let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the print head by
touching it with your fingers or any hard object.
Turn off the printer, open the roll paper cover, and clean the
thermal elements of the print head with a cotton swab moistened
with an alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA).
Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically
(generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality.
Cleaning the Optional MICR Mechanism
Clean the MICR head and MICR roller every 6000 passes or once a
month.
Note:
If you encounter frequent MICR reading errors, use one of the following
methods.
