Apparatus for reading magnetic information from a document having a read head mounted on a circuit board portion permitting resilient deflection |
摘要 |
A device for reading magnetic information from documents hand-fed to the device is described herein. Such a device may be configured as a hand-fed check reader for reading MICR information from a check. The check reader includes a housing having a configuration designed to allow a human operator to efficiently hand-feed checks to the reader. In particular this configuration includes a check support surface and associated rail which assists the operator in guiding the check to a read head located adjacent to the surface. The read head is coupled to circuitry for generating signals representative of MICR information, and may be supported by a circuit board which also supports the circuitry. The reader also includes a drive mechanism having a drive wheel for forcing the check against the head while the check is driven along the head during reading. To increase the reading accuracy of the reader, a pair of magnets are supported relative to the support surface to align the dipoles of the MICR information prior to reading by the read head.
