MICR READER
MICR unit interface card - code XYAB1564 - for managing the optional magnetic units can be connected to the
motherboard.
The MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Reader) technology allows CNC7 / E13B characters printed on cheques to be
read.
The reader, located inside printer, operates crosswise to the direction of movement of the paper.
It comprises a read head able to operate also on passbook magnetic stripes, fitted on a specific mechanism that
guarantees correct traverse during work phases.
The read range is equal to the size of the slot.
The interpretation SW must be able to recognize the font of the check being read automatically (objective).
The following figure provides an illustration of the interface card that is connected to the special connectors on the
motherboard.

SCANNER
A fast color scanner with a resolution of 600 dpi is included.
The scanner features a fixed lower image acquisition element (CIS) and a mobile upper element that moves from
the top down when activated.
The layout of the two scanners takes into account the fact that it must be possible to activate these at the same
time, eliminating optical disturbances (shadow images) that may occur with particular types of paper.
