METHOD FOR READING MICR DATA MAGNETICALLY AND OFFICIALLY

摘要

METHOD FOR READING MICR DATA MAGNETICALLY AND OPTICALLY An optical reader system for identifying characters which are printed on a document in a magnetic ink (MICR) E-13B font. The reader includes a MICR character reader as the primary means for identifying the characters printed on the documents, and a supplemental optical reader to assist in the identification of characters whose identity cannot be accurately determined by the MICR reader. The optical reader, being supplemental to the MICR reader, is less sophisticated in construction and operation as an optical reader employed as the sole or primary reader in document processing system.
