1. A method of recognizing characters on a check in an automated check processing machine which includes a check receive-and-dispense unit for receiving and dispensing a check, an MICR reading unit for reading MICs of the check, a printing unit for printing a stamp on a surface of a normally processed check, a stacking unit for keeping the check, and a control unit for controlling the units of the automated check processing machine, the method comprising:

  • a first step for extracting the MICs of the check and partitioning the MICs into characteristic regions, by the MICR reading unit, if the check is input through the check receive-and-dispense unit;

    a second step for converting codes of the characteristic regions into certain bit values;

    a third step for temporarily storing the converted code data, re-extracting the MICs of the check for a predetermined number of times, and converting the codes into certain bit values, if an error code occurs while performing the code conversion; and

    a fourth step for comparing the stored code data with newly converted code data, correcting the error code, and configuring a serial number.
