Your Secure MICR Printer allows you to define the ESC character as a printable character or a combination of two printable characters. You can select combinations of 1 or 2 characters which are translated to a Hex 1B when they are sent to the printer. The command &%STYxxyy$ is used to select the character or character combination. The pair xx represents the first characters’ ASCII hex value, yy represents the second characters hex value. Example: The symbols @@ should be translated into the escape character. &%STY4040$ After this is sent to the printer, anytime an @ @ is received in exact sequence, the pair is translated into the ESC character (Hex 1B). A single @ would print normally. If yy is equal to 00, only the first character is used for the escape character. Example: The symbol @ should translate into the escape character. &%STY4000$ After this is sent to the printer, anytime an @ is received it is translated into the ESC character. This means that the printer will never print the @ character. The only invalid single characters are the & (HEX 26) and a null (00). Example: &%STY2300$ #&l8D The printer would translate the number sign (Hex 23) to the ESC character and it would act on the sequence Esc&l8D which will set line spacing to 8 lines per inch. If you want to reset the ESC character translation from the previous settings then you can send the &%STY Command to deactivate the translation. Example: &%STY0000$ 8 Source Technologies, LLC 48 ST9630 Secure MICR Printer User’s Guide IBM Host Programming Features and Examples | 7 Figure 7.2: Sample Check Note: The printed output from the commands listed in Figure 7.1 is shown below.

Audit Trail Reports The Audit Trail Report feature provides a report of the printer’s MICR printing activity. The printer must have flash memory to utilize this option. Details of each flagged check record sent to the printer are provided since the last audit report was purged from flash memory. Report Details A record (check) must be bounded by a start of record command and an end of record command. Within each record, fields to be included in the Audit Trail Report must be flagged. The printer stores each record in flash memory. After the check is successfully printed, its record is designated as a successfully printed document in flash. The report is built by printing each of these check records as a line item. At the end of the report, an exception report is generated which highlights any records received by the printer but not successfully printed. Each record (check) has a maximum of seven fields with a total of 146 bytes. Two of the flagged fields, SQ1 and SQ7 are Audit Report fields only. They are not printed on the MICR document. Flagging other fields for inclusion in the Audit Report does not effect how they print on a check. Audit Trail Menu The MICR menu contains a section for the Audit Trail options. Menu options are Audit Location, Record Sorting, Overlay, Sum Field 4 and Print Report. Audit Location Choose to store audit data on flash or disk. The display will show “No Device” if neither is installed. Flash is the default if both are present. Audit Record Sorting This enables sorting of the report by the first 20 digits in the MICR line field. In an unsorted report the records are in the order in which they were printed. Overlay To assist in reading an Audit Trail report you have the option of using a form overlay. This overlay can provide lines, boxes and shading for a more user friendly report format. The Audit Trail Report overlay can be stored in printer flash or RAM. We recommend storing it in flash. It must have an ID of 5001. It is enabled by accessing the MICR menu via the printer’s front panel. Select Audit Menu > Overlay. This overlay will now be merged with the record details every time the Audit Trail Report is printed. Sum Field 4 The values in field four of the Audit Trail Report can be added together with the total provided at the end of the report. This feature is activated through the MICR menu. Select Audit Menu > Sum Field 4. Source Technologies, LLC 50 ST9630 Secure MICR Printer User’s Guide Audit Trail Reports | 8 The values in field 4 must follow certain guidelines to be included in the column summation. Dollar signs and commas must be properly located, no more than two numbers after a decimal point, and no alpha characters. For example: Valid Formats Invalid Formats “$1,234,567.89” “$1,23,” “4321234.56” “432.123” “5,321” “34 test” “$.89” “12$123” If the value in field 4 is in an invalid format, that line will have a question mark to the right of the field and it will not be added to the total. Under these circumstances, the total will print with the notation “Fields flagged with ‘?’ not included in total.” If the total exceeds $4,294,957,295.99 the printer will print an error message “Total exceeds maximum value” instead of the total.
