Abstract
A transaction printer includes the MICR encoding and reading of indicia at the point-of-sale. The printer reads the imprinted MICR indicia and determines whether the MICR indicia are verifiable. Unverified checks may be marked. An operator may be asked to determine whether a "bad" check (i.e., wrinkled, folded, torn, etc.) is the probable cause of the verification failure. If the check appears to be good, the MICR encoding function of the transaction printer may be disabled until a service technician is available to isolate the problem.
