features will be inaccessible until this combination is entered. Sending an &%STS 
command and eight zeros deactivates the security lock.

Data to be printed in E-13B MICR font 

$ Command 

terminator 

 
Prints the specified data in the E-13B MICR font which is used in the United States, 
Canada and Mexico. The correct spacing begins at the cursor position modified by the 
MICRpoint adjustment setting at the start of the command.  After the terminator is sent, the 
printer is returned to its default font. After each Print E-13B command, the MICR count is 
decremented by one.  Upon receiving this command the printer will check to ensure a 
MICR toner cartridge is installed and set the copies parameter to 1.  See Appendix A for 
MICR E-13B font character mapping.
