MICR Enabled printers and on board printer calls.

Just changed jobs recently.
My old company specialised in reconciliation systesm and data processing systems using Powerbuilder 7 and Sybase or MsSql Server at the backend.
They also tried to sell MICR enabled printers using the on-board simms sold by source tech from the USA which go into IBM and Lexmakr printers.
They didn't know how to read the manuals supplied and thought incorrectly it was very difficult to make calls to the simms.
Prior to leaving, I discovered in word that you can make printer calls!
All technology is easy if you have the time to read and absord all the relevent information.
Maybe I will sell my knowledge to people who want to use these bits of hardware, as it seems no-one thinks they are easy to use!
As for reconciliation systems, they are simple but there are few good ones out there!
Looking carefully at using foxpro and MSDE or SQL Server Express as the new tools to tackle this
