Apparatus for translation of character codes for application to a data processing system

摘要

A reader/sorter reads documents which include MICR, OMR and OCR encoded characters. The reader/sorter reads each type of character sequentially at separate read head positions. Character codes read by a particular head address a separate area of address locations in a random access memory which stores equivalent character codes which are used by the data processing system. The random access memory is loaded with the translated character codes, allowing a data processing system to communicate with the reader/sorter.
