We've got a USB MagTek check reader and Windows Vista with PowerChurch 9. I haven't been able to make it work. Is there a way to do this? Do we need PowerChurch 10?

Users of USB check readers with PowerChurch Online as well as versions 8.5 & 9 of PowerChurch Plus are required to run a separate program, the MagTek MICRSend software, which handles formatting and communication between the check reader and the PowerChurch Contributions Check Reader data entry screen.
This MICR Send program is included on the drivers CD for the check reader. Simply run it before scanning any checks into PowerChurch Plus. You should see a little check reader icon show up in the System Tray, down by the clock at the bottom right of your screen.
