METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR READING MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER RECOGNITION INFORMATION

摘要

A system for recognizing magnetic ink characters includes at least one write head configured and arranged to scan over the magnetic ink characters while generating a modulated magnetic field to produce a magnetic response in the magnetic ink characters. The modulation of the magnetic field produces spatial modulation in the magnetic response. The system also includes at least one read head configured and arranged to scan over the magnetic ink characters after the write head and to detect the magnetic response. The system further includes a recognition module to receive the magnetic response from the read head(s) and recognize the magnetic ink characters thereby.
