ROM.
About MICR
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) is a technology developed in 1959 for use in automated processing of checks and other financial transactions. The MICR line, which appear across
the bottom of a check, allow sophisticated bank reader/sorters to rapidly process information.
English
MICR document processing is widely used because it has a very high reading accuracy. MICR accuracy is due in part to the magnetic quality of the ink. It is less sensitive to background color and
patterns common in checks, and can even be recognized when obscured by a piece of paper.
Kyocera MICR printers are specifically designed to print MICR checks and documents.
First Steps
When you set up your printer, we recommend you print at least 3 pages on normal paper to ensure
sufficient MICR toner yield before printing on check paper.

❒
ommended that you store the keys for your printer locks in 2 separate secure locations.
Types of cassettes:
• FS-1714M and FS-3718M : PC-21L
• FS-7028M : PC-30L
Your MICR printer will only operate with MICR toner container installed, eliminating the possibility
❒
of printing checks without magnetic toner. Kyocera MICR toner containers are specially designed
to eliminate accidental use of commercial toner. The top of a MICR toner container is green. This
toner will not fit in a non-MICR machine. Standard toner containers are black.
Since MICR read-accuracy is essential, Kyocera MICR printers are specially designed to only operate
❒
when toner levels are adequate to guarantee completion of printed check. The message
low
indicates that the toner container is nearly empty. Please prepare new toner kit as soon as
possible. If you continue to print,
sage display and printing is disabled.
The E-13B MICR font and the CMC-7 MICR font for your Kyocera MICR printer are supplied on a

font card (FC-01M) with your printer. See
