Q: I Where
can I find some information on the PCL printer language used to call the MICR
function?

If you are not using SAP, ERPs or Windows you need to know a little bit of the

automatically the sequences to enter in your application.
2.Printer error messages
Q: I have
a LaserJet 4100 equipped with MicrDIMM. When I connect to the printer web page
using my explorer, the printer crashes with a 49.4274 ERROR message, or the embedded
web server disappears. How can I fix it?
A:
This problem happens with the hp LaserJet 4100 when the embedded web server
(the internal web page of the printer) is configured in any language other than
english. To fix the problem, turn off the printer, remove the MicrDIMM, start
the printer, access the printer web page using your browser and set the language
to ENGLISH. You can now reinstall the MicrDIMM as indicated in the user manual.
Q: I have
a LaserJet 5Si equipped with MicrDIMM. When I want to print the PCL font list
from the printer (through the control panel), the printer crash down. Is there
anything wrong ?
A:
This problem happens with the hp LaserJet 5Si equipped with a
firmware earlier than 9.X. If you don't need to print oftenly font lists, there
should be no other problem. You may ask for a formatter upgrade for your hp
LaserJet 5Si.
Q: On my
hp LaserJet 6P
equipped with
MicrDIMM, the status
page is jammed
A:
When the MicrDIMM is plugged into the
hp
LaserJet 6P printer, the status page is not always printed correctly. This does
not affect the printer or MicrSIMM functionality.
Q: After
installing the MicrDIMM into my printer I get the error message "79 Service".
A:
Verify if the MicrDIMM installed is compatible with your printer model. If
you have a hp LaserJet 5Si, please verify the firmware level
compatibility (7.X, 8.X or 9.X).
Q:
Amounts
is not
printed as text strings, or the printer
goes into “ MEMORY OVERFLOW”:
A:
The printer might not recognize the MicrDIMM, and the MICR API parameters create
huge fonts that overflow memory. Please verify the MicrDIMM is recognized by the
printer (all information in the MicrDIMM manual).

Q: When I
use the Windows BDTTGEN TrueType font, MICR data and symbols are replaced by text.
A: Make sure you are using
a PCL5 driver (and not a PCL6, PCL-XL or PostScript driver) provided with the printer
or downloaded from www.hp.com.MicrDIMM can only work with hp PCL-5 printer
drivers.
Q: Under
windows, I don't see the MICR symbols list in my font menu.
A: Make sure you first used BDTTGEN, the
MicrDIMM Windows TrueType Driver generator for Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003. This program can be downloaded from this WEB site.
Q : No MICR symbols appear on the screen
A :
Windows won't display the MICR data on the screen as they are generated inside
the printer at print time.
Q:
I used to
make PCM files for an older MicrDIMM. Can I still use it?
A: Yes,
MicrDIMM Pro is backward compatible with older
MicrDIMM. You can continue to use PCM files loaded in Windows drivers if you wish. Just note that BDTTGEN provides
a better way to use barcodes from Windows, especialy as bars height can be
modified using the font size.
Q: I open
MicrDIMM test files provided on the floppy disk in MS Word, and then print the
opened file. No barcode is printed.
A:
Do not open test files in a Windows application, but copy them to the
printer using the following MS-DOS command:
copy /b <filename> lpt1 where <filename>
is replaced by the file name.
