The waiting time is t × 100 ms for every macro execution.

m specifies macro executing mode when the LSB (least significant bit) m = 0

The macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified by t when the LSB (least significant bit) of  
m = 1.

If this command is received while a macro is being defined, the macro definition is aborted and the definition is 
cleared.

If the macro is not defined or if r is 0, nothing is executed.

These commands control the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader, including how it parses the 
character strings on checks.

The section, MICR parsing, describes how to create a parsing format and how to create and maintain an exceptions 
table.

All data returned

Reads and transmits the MICR data and adds a carriage return (0x0D). One status byte precedes the MICR characters.

If no parsing format is selected with either of the define parsing format commands (see below), all data will be 
returned, which is the default.

Good read, data follows
