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

The section that follows, “MICR Parsing,” describes how to create a parsing 
format and how to create and maintain an exception table. If you would like a 
copy of a software utility that performs these functions rather than developing 
your own program using the command codes described in this section, please 
contact Unisys. The software utility can be used as provided or can be 
incorporated into your own application. 

Reads the MICR data and either ejects the check or positions the check for 
printing, depending on the value of n.
