Check processing method, check processing program medium, and check processing apparatus

摘要

Check processing involves scanning a back of a check having no printed authorization data to capture a back image; scanning a front of the check to capture a front image of the check, the front of the check being preprinted with magnetic ink characters; generating authorization data indicating that the check is valid based on a reading of the magnetic ink characters and a response from an external analysis source, the authorization data being generated electronically; generating an electronic merged image by electronically combining the back image with the authorization data in a predetermined area, the electronic merged image being generated without printing the authorization data on the check; and storing the electronic merged image with the front image. The check processing can be embodied in a method, apparatus, or instructions embodied on a machine-readable medium.

主权项

1. A check processing method using a check processing apparatus, the method comprising:
scanning a back of a check to capture a back image of the check, which has no authorization data printed thereon, by the check processing apparatus; scanning a front of the check to capture a front image of the check using the check processing apparatus, the front of the check being preprinted with magnetic ink characters; generating authorization data indicating that the check is valid based on a reading of the magnetic ink characters and a response from an external analysis source, the authorization data being generated electronically; generating an electronic merged image by electronically combining the back image with the authorization data in a predetermined area, the electronic merged image being generated such that at least a portion of the authorization data overlaps the back image, the electronic merged image being generated without printing the authorization data on the check by the check processing apparatus; and storing the electronic merged image with the front image.
