Computer-implemented method of processing a substitute check and an apparatus therefor
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of processing a paper substitute check which has a first magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) codeline which is printed on a first portion of the paper substitute check and a second MICR codeline which is printed on a second portion of the paper substitute check and which second portion is different from the first portion of the paper substitute check, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- (a) electronically on an image capture device capturing an image of the paper substitute check;
(b) reading from the paper substitute check the first MICR codeline which is printed on the first portion of the paper substitute check;
(c) reading from the captured image of the paper substitute check the second MICR codeline which is printed on the second portion of the paper substitute check; and
(d) electronically on a microcomputer comparing the first MICR codeline read in step (b) and the second MICR codeline read in step (c) to determine if the first MICR codeline which is printed on the first portion of the paper substitute check and the second MICR codeline which is printed on the second portion of the paper substitute check match.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided of processing a substitute check which has been made from an original check. The computer-implemented method comprises (a) reading from the substitute check a printed magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) codeline, (b) reading from the substitute check an imaged MICR codeline, and (c) comparing the printed MICR codeline of step (a) and the imaged MICR codeline of step (b) to determine if the printed MICR codeline and the imaged MICR codeline match.

6. An apparatus comprising:
-
an image capture device in hardware form for capturing an image of a paper substitute check which has been made from an original paper check; a first reader for reading from the paper substitute check a first magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) codeline which is printed on a first portion of the paper substitute check; a second reader for reading from the captured image of the paper substitute check a second MICR codeline which is printed on a second portion of the paper substitute check and which second portion is different from the first portion of the paper substitute check; and a microcomputer including a comparator for comparing the first MICR codeline and the second MICR codeline to determine if the first MICR codeline and the second MICR codeline match. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
