Method of printing MICR encoded negotiable instruments such as checks/drafts from facsimile transmitted checks

摘要

An improved method for accurately and correctly encoding and printing complete checks on blank paper sheets from graphic check images. The method includes inputting into a computer a graphic image of a check. Scanning the graphic image, in computer memory, and identifying the MICR character codes with their locations. Printing said MICR codes with magnetic ink in MICR fonts in a designated "clear band". Reformatting the scanned graphic image with the MICR images deleted and printing the reformatted graphic image above the "clear band" to provide a negotiable check instrument.
