ABSTRACT:
A transaction printer includes the MICR encoding of indicia at a precise location called the amount field. In order to accomplish this, an optical sensor is provided in a check processing machine at a point-of-sale to detect the edge of the check and stage it at a known location from the thermal, MICR print head. A clutch mechanism is used to engage the print head with a platen and to engage a read head with the check, so that indicia can be sequentially imprinted and read within the check processing machine in a single, sequential operation that moves the check from a home position to a MICR print position, and subsequently to a MICR read position.
