The values in field four of the Audit Trail Report can be added together with the total provided 
at the end of the report.  This feature is activated through the MICR menu.  Select Audit 
Menu>Sum Field 4. 
 
The values in field 4 must follow certain guidelines to be included in the column summation.  
Dollar signs and commas must be properly located, no more than two numbers after a 
decimal point, and no alpha characters.  For example: 
 

Valid Formats Invalid 

Formats 

“$1,234,567.89” “$1,23,” 
“4321234.56” “432.123” 
“5,321” “34 

test” 

“$.89” “12$123” 

 
If the value in field 4 is in an invalid format, that line will have a question mark to the right of 
the field and it will not be added to the total.  Under these circumstances, the total will print 
with the notation “Fields flagged with ‘?’ not included in total.” 
 
If the total exceeds $4,294,957,295.99 the printer will print an error message “Total exceeds 
maximum value” instead of the total. 
 
Print Audit Report 
Prints an Audit Trail Report. 
 
The Audit Trail Report is also part of the command set so the Audit Report can be printed 
and purged via the host application. As a security control mechanism, purging is only 
possible after entering a valid password. 
 
The printer can store approximately 6,000 records or checks for each megabyte of flash.  If 
the Audit Report feature is activated, and the printer’s flash memory becomes full, an error 
condition occurs. The printer will stop printing and prompt the operator to print and purge the 
Audit Report memory. See the following section for purge instructions.
