My mistake about stopping the disks in order to read backwards. I completely lost track of the "original thread." By the way, the term, "MICR" was not in the first post under the subject, "MVCIN instruction". Regardless, wouldn't the MICR have to stop its rollers and grippers, or whatever this device uses, in order to reverse the direction of the document, perhaps risking a fold, bend or other mutilation? ;) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic transmission (including any accompanying attachments) is intended solely for its authorized recipient(s), and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
