Introduction to the Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series
Introduction
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers.
These printers support magnetic ink character recognition (MICR). MICR printing is
intended primarily for transaction printing of valuable documents like cheques. A magnetic reader can read documents printed with MICR toner.
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series uses the Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology. This technology enables the machine to print MICR toner on both the front side
and the back side of a sheet at the same time. Depending on your version, the sustained
print speed ranges from 170, 200 to 250 images per minute (A4 / Letter) when you print
a 2-sided document. The print speed for 1-sided documents (A4/Letter) is 125 images
per minute.
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series prints only with MICR toner. A combination
of MICR toner and regular toner is not possible. However, you can also print regular

Transaction printing
Introduction to the 'Transaction' section
Introduction
When the printer contains the optional IPDS or PCL license for transaction printing,
the printer can be used both for document printing and transaction printing. Then you
can print typical transactional documents like invoices, salary slips or other variable data
streams. If you want to use the printer for transaction printing, you must first switch the
printer from the document printing mode to the transaction printing mode. This is only
possible when the list of 'Scheduled jobs' is empty. When the list of 'Scheduled jobs' is
empty, you can activate the transaction printing function on the operator panel and send
jobs from a server or mainframe. The 'Transaction' section on the operator panel contains
the settings that you need to prepare the printer for transaction printing.
The following information is described below.
■
An overview of the items in the 'Transaction' section on the operator panel
■
The sequence of steps for transaction printing on this printer.
The activation of the transaction printing function on the printer is described in a separate
section (see ‘Activate the transaction printing function’ on page 18).
Note:
The operator panel displays the 'Transaction' section only when the printer has a license
for transaction printing.

Introduction
If your printer contains the optional MICR license, you can use the machine for MICR
printing. Then you can print typical transactional documents like checks and other
valuable documents. Before you can use the MICR printing functionality, you must first
activate the MICR mode in the settings editor. The printer then identifies itself as a MICR
printer on your host (in the case of IPDS).
PrintGuard modules
In the MICR mode, the PrintGuard modules are activated automatically. It is not possible
to de-activate the PrintGuard modules in this mode. The PrintGuard modules postfuse
your prints to improve the quality and durability of the prints.

Handle the media messages
Introduction
The media catalog
■
contains a list of predefined media and their attributes
■
is an essential part of the system behavior of the Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series
■
helps you to print your jobs more easily while using the correct media
For transaction printing, the content of the paper trays (in terms of media from the media
catalogue) is translated into a format that the SRA controller understands. However, the
controller receives only a limited amount of information (name or size of the media).
This can lead to miscommunication where the controller misses a media requirement.
The controller will then ask for the required media via a message on the operator panel.
This 'Media message' indicates the name or size of the missing media.
Your response to the'Media message' depends on the mode in which the printer works,
either:
■
The tray-to-tray mode, or
■
The tray-to-media mode.
This section describes how to respond to the 'Media message' for both modes.
Note:
A 'Media message' will only occur when the printer description language is PCL.
Chapter 2 - Transaction printing 25

Secure printing
Error handling and secure printing
Introduction
TheOcé VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series is equipped with very efficient and reliable error
recovery. Some printing environments, however, require that multiple copies be avoided.
For example, in transactions involving the printing of valuable documents such as cheques.
In such an environment, you can enable the secure printing functionality.
Secure printing means that automatic error recovery is suppressed. Errors are recovered
by the server. All pending pages in the printer will be deleted. An error results in a stack
eject. This means that it is the responsibility of the operator to restart the job manually
on the correct page, in case of an error. By default, secure printing is disabled. In the
Settings Editor, you can enable secure printing in the IPDS transaction printing setups.
PCL transaction printing does not support secure printing.
This section describes the difference between the default error handling and error handling
with secure printing enabled.
Note:
You can enable secure printing in IPDS transaction printing setups only.
Note:
When you enable secure printing, the intermediate check print and the sample sheet
interval are automatically disabled.
Error handling with secure printing in IPDS
The table shows what happens when an error occurs during a print job transaction with
secure printing. Pages that are copied to the memory of the controller are deleted from
the system. The operator must send these missing pages to the printer as a (new) print
job transaction.

MICR fonts
MICR fonts
Introduction
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, or MICR, is a character recognition technology
used primarily by the banking industry to facilitate the processing of cheques. The technology allows computers to read information such as account numbers of printed documents. The magnetic reader requires specific MICR fonts. The major MICR fonts used
around the world are E-13B and CMC-7.
You can send both outline and bitmap MICR fonts from the host with the datastream
of the transaction print job. You can also install outline MICR fonts in the Settings Editor.
Note:
Do not alter the MICR fonts in any way. Altering the MICR fonts can cause read errors.
Support of MICR fonts
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000 MICR series supports all standard MICR fonts with this
machine.
Error handling
IPDS
In IPDS, a transaction print job with MICR fonts requires that the machine is in MICR
mode. When the machine is not in MICR mode, you will receive an error massage on
your host that MICR printing is not supported. This error can only be resolved by cancelling the stream.
PCL
In PCL, this is not prevented. The data stream in PCL has no information on the used
MICR fonts and therefore, the system does not check whether it is in MICR mode. It is
the responsibility of the operator to check this.
