Secure MICR Check Printing

The ST9830 is purpose-built for secure MICR applications.

Source Technologies works directly with the underlying print-engine manufacturer to integrate its MICR technology into the printer platform. This includes specialized MICR toner, firmware, security fonts and calibration technologies designed to help produce consistently readable negotiable documents.

Unlike aftermarket MICR conversions, the Source Technologies platform is engineered as a complete MICR system.

MICR quality-assurance technologies include:

• Automatic density control
• MICR toner detection
• Low-toner warning
• Automatic stop controls
• Regulated fuser temperature
• Optimized transfer voltage
• Originally manufactured MICR toner
• MICRpoint alignment adjustment
• Precision paper registration

These technologies are designed to help maintain MICR signal strength and positioning throughout the life of the toner cartridge.

Duplex Printing

The ST9830DTL configuration includes duplex capability, allowing automatic printing on both sides of compatible media.

Duplex printing can be especially useful for:

• Checks with remittance information
• Payroll documents
• Accounts payable documents
• Check-and-statement combinations
• Financial forms
• Secure business correspondence

The duplex assembly is integrated into the printer rather than requiring users to manually reverse documents.

Physical Paper Security – Locks

One of the most important advantages of this ST9830 configuration is its physical locking capability.

Source Technologies offers key-lock protection for the printer and compatible expansion drawers to help prevent unauthorized access to blank check stock.

Physical locking can help organizations:

• Restrict access to blank checks
• Reduce opportunities for check-stock theft
• Prevent unauthorized use of secure paper
• Improve internal financial controls
• Support audit and compliance procedures

For organizations that store blank check stock directly in the printer, this security feature can be particularly valuable.

Datastream Tray Protection

Source Technologies’ Datastream Tray Protection adds another layer of security by restricting non-MICR jobs from printing from designated secure paper trays.

This helps prevent ordinary office documents from accidentally being printed on expensive or sensitive check stock.

Benefits include:

• Reduced check-stock waste
• Fewer accidental prints on secure media
• Better control of designated MICR trays
• Improved document-security procedures

MICR Security Fonts

The ST9830 includes specialized secure fonts designed for financial-document applications.

E-13B MICR Font

The standard MICR font used for check processing in the United States, Canada and other markets.

CMC7 MICR Font

An alternate MICR format used in various international financial-processing environments.

Secure Numeric Font

A proprietary Source Technologies font designed to make alteration of financial information more difficult.

Microprint Font

Allows very small text to be incorporated into document design as an additional anti-fraud feature.

ICR Numeric Font

Designed to provide additional security while supporting image-based financial document processing.

Front-Panel & Password Security

The ST9830 includes multiple software-based security controls in addition to its physical locking capability.

Available protections include:

• Front-panel security
• Password protection
• Restriction of MICR resources
• Secure access to stored fonts
• Secure access to signatures
• Protection of form overlays
• Set Copies to One
• Automatic Jam Recovery Disable

The Set Copies to One function can prevent a secure MICR print job from unintentionally producing multiple copies.

Automatic Jam Recovery Disable helps prevent the printer from automatically reproducing a check after a paper jam, reducing the risk of duplicate negotiable documents.

AES & DES Encryption / Decryption

The ST9830 supports AES and DES data encryption/decryption for secure MICR workflows.

Encrypted print streams can be transmitted to the device and decrypted by the printer immediately prior to printing, helping protect sensitive payment information while it travels across the network.

Audit Trail Capability

Source Technologies provides an audit-trail capability that can create user-defined records of check-printing activity.

For organizations subject to internal financial controls or external auditing requirements, these records can assist with accountability and documentation of secure printing activities.

Fast 55 PPM Performance

The ST9830 is designed as a robust workgroup MICR printer.

Print Speed:
Up to 55 pages per minute

First Page:
As fast as 4.5 seconds

Maximum Resolution:
Up to 1200 x 1200 dpi

Recommended Monthly Volume:
Approximately 3,000–50,000 pages

Maximum Monthly Duty Cycle:
Up to 250,000 pages

This performance makes the ST9830 appropriate for both everyday secure check printing and substantially larger batch-payment workflows.

Standard Paper Capacity

The ST9830 provides:

650 sheets of standard input capacity

and up to:

4,400 sheets maximum input capacity

with compatible optional paper-handling equipment.

Standard output capacity is approximately:

550 sheets

with maximum output capacity up to approximately:

2,550 sheets

depending upon configuration.

100-Sheet Multipurpose Feeder

The multipurpose feeder provides approximately 100 sheets of capacity and can accommodate:

• Check stock
• Plain paper
• Card stock
• Envelopes
• Labels

This provides flexibility for offices that use the ST9830 for both financial documents and other monochrome business printing.

MICR Toner

The ST9830 uses genuine Source Technologies MICR toner specifically formulated for secure financial-document printing.

Starter MICR Toner

Approximately 8,000 pages

Standard Replacement MICR Toner

Approximately 8,000 pages

High-Yield Replacement MICR Toner

Approximately 20,000 pages

Toner yield is based on ISO/IEC 19752 methodology. Actual yield varies depending upon page coverage, print content and operating conditions.

Long-Life Imaging Unit

The ST9830 uses a separate imaging unit rated for up to approximately:

80,000 pages

Separating the imaging unit from the toner cartridge allows each component to be replaced independently and helps maximize the useful life of each component.

Gigabit Ethernet & USB Connectivity

Standard connectivity includes:

• 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
• USB 2.0 Type B

The network interface allows the ST9830 to be integrated into centralized accounting, accounts-payable and enterprise payment environments.

Printer Languages

The ST9830 supports commonly used enterprise printer languages including:

• PCL 5e
• PCL 6
• PostScript 3
• Microsoft XPS
• PDF 1.7
• PPDS
• Direct Image

This broad language support makes the printer suitable for integration with a variety of financial, accounting and enterprise software platforms.

Reinforced Printer Construction

Source Technologies highlights several structural modifications intended to improve durability and maintain accurate MICR registration.

These include:

• Reinforced steel frame
• Reinforced steel crossmembers
• Steel tray support
• Short pick-arm design
• Precision registration system

Source Technologies states that these design elements increase frame rigidity and help maintain correct MICR-line positioning throughout the life of the printer.

Ceramic Heater Technology

The ST9830 uses a ceramic heating element designed for rapid warm-up.

The instant-on design allows the heating system to reach operating temperature quickly and contributes to the printer’s first-page time of approximately 4.5 seconds.

Source Technologies MICR Guarantee

Source Technologies provides a 3-Year MICR Guarantee covering MICR readability performance when the printer and qualifying Source Technologies MICR materials are used according to manufacturer requirements.

This MICR guarantee is separate from the printer’s standard equipment warranty and reflects Source Technologies’ confidence in the reliability of its MICR system.

Manufacturer Warranty

The ST9830 carries a:

1-Year Return-to-Depot Manufacturer Warranty from Date of Sale

Additional service coverage may be available separately.

Dimensions & Weight

Width: Approximately 16.85″

Depth: Approximately 20.1″
