Slip station and MICR problems
Problem Possible cause Solution
Slip-in light does not come on. Form or check is not inserted properly. Line up the form or check against the
check guide (wall) and slide it toward the
front of the printer until it is visible from
the top (the light should come on). Extra-
long forms may need to be inserted from
the side to disengage the Form Stop. Refer
to Printing on forms or checks on page 20
or Verifying and validating checks
on page 22.
Forms or checks skew or catch in the slip
station.
There is an obstruction or paper jam in the
slip station.
Open the front cover and check for paper
jams or other obstruction in the slip
station. Clear the jammed paper or
obstruction.
The MICR check reader does not read or
misreads checks.
The check is not properly inserted. Make sure the check is inserted properly
with the MICR characters down. Refer to
Verifying and validating checks on page 22.
The check is fraudulent. Make sure that the check is not fraudulent.
On fraudulent checks, the characters the
printer reads may be dierent from those
that are visible on the check face.
A nearby magnetic source is interfering
with the check reader.
Devices such as computer monitors,
security devices, or large metal surfaces
near the printer can aect the printer’s
magnetic eld, causing intermittent errors
when the MICR check reader is operating.
Move the printer away from such items.
