Kyocera MICR printers are an extension of the Kyocera FS-Series Ecosys Printers Family. These printers are especially designed and optimized for MICR printing. The following chart shows the key specifications of your MICR printer. MICR Printer Model FS-1714M FS-3718M FS-7028M Page Per Minute 14ppm 18ppm 28ppm FS-Series Modified FS-1750 FS-3750 FS-7000+ This manual supplement describes instructions for using an FS-Series printer as a MICR printer. For other instructions including the basic operating procedures, refer to the printer's original User's Manual enclosed with this supplement or provided on the Kyocera Digital Library CDROM. 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. 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. 1 English Features These Kyocera MICR printers have the following features: Your Kyocera MICR printer comes with a lockable cassette for securely storing check stock. It is recommended 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 Toner low indicates that the toner container is nearly empty. Please prepare new toner kit as soon as possible. If you continue to print, Replace Toner Clean printer appears on the message 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 How to Use the MICR Fonts section for directions on selecting the MICR font.
