First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for printing a recording medium with color data and MICR data, comprising the steps of:
- printing with the color printing device both the color data and the MICR data in encoded form as code data onto the recording medium;
supplying the recording medium to the at least one MICR printing device; and
decoding the MICR data from the code data, and subsequently printing the MICR data on the recording medium with precise positioning via the at least one MICR printing device.

Abstract
In a method or system for printing a recording medium with color data and MICR data, a color printing device and at least one MICR printing device are arranged independent and separate from one another. The color printing device prints both the color data and the MICR data in encoded form as code data onto the recording medium. The recording medium is supplied to the at least one MICR printing device. The MICR data are decoded from the code data, and the MICR data are subsequently printed on the recording medium via the at least one MICR printing device.

12. A printing system for printing a recording medium with color data, comprising:
-
a color printing device and at least one MICR printing device are arranged to be mechanically and electrically separated from one another; the color printing device extracting the color data from a data stream supplied to the color printing device and printing said color data on the recording medium; the color printing device also extracting the MICR data from the data stream and encoding the data in a barcode together with a position of said MICR data on the recording medium, and printing the barcode on the recording medium outside of the region for the color printing; a reader is associated with the respective MICR printing device, said reader reading the barcode from the recording medium; an evaluation unit that determines the MICR data and their position on the recording medium from the barcode and supplies the data and their position to the respective MICR printing device; and the respective MICR printing device printing the MICR data with precise positioning on the recording medium. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
