How can I read MICR from checks printed with an inkjet or laser printer?

[Bryan Clark]

Many check scanners have the ability to read MICR optically in addition to reading checks magnetically. Applications that use this Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature can read MICR from checks printed with inkjet and laser printers.

• If you are using a scanning application provided by another company, ask your software vendor's support team if your application has an option that will enable reading MICR from checks using the scanner's OCR feature.

• If you are writing a check scanning application, then instruct the scanner to read the MICR line using OCR.  See this tutorial for details: How do I setup Ranger's OCR parameters?
