Method of processing misoriented items in an image-based item processing system and an apparatus therefor

摘要

A cheque processing system comprises an image lift device which is provided for lifting an image of a cheque as the cheque is being transported along a cheque feed path. A MICR reader is provided for reading a MICR codeline from the cheque as the cheque is transported along the cheque feed path past the MICR reader. The image of the cheque is reoriented when the MICR reader is unable to read a MICR codeline from the image of the cheque due to misorientation of the cheque along the cheque feed path.
