MICR printing features

Product overview

The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 MX systems produce a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The MICR printing system prints documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to create machine readable information that allows for quick document processing.

In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information on blank checks and other negotiable documents. The magnetic encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.

Controller overview

2. Controller components and options

This chapter describes the comp onents and options a v ail able f or the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.

The controller receives data from a mainframe host or a workstation client, processes the data, and sends it to the printer. The controller also provides the printer with print data and commands, and receives status information from the printer.

The controller consists of a high performance Sun workstat ion processor r unning Solaris software. Also resident on the controller is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing, diagnostic, and administrative functions on the printing system.

Accessing

DocuSP remotely

(Remote

Workflow)

The DocuSP software includes a full color graphical user interface (GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the system, set up and implement system o ptions, a nd manage print jobs.

Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface, is av ailable for instal lation from a CD. The remote GUI allows y ou to ma nage your DocuSP-based printers fr om a single PC or Sun workstation. You may set your pr efere nces from the remote clie nt to disable or enable some or all connections.

Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you want to manage, and provides real time status of the printers. You may switch betw een the printers th at you are managing, but you can display only one printer GUI at a time.

The Remote Workflow GUI looks and functions the same as the local DocuSP GUI on the controller.
