Abstract:
1. A host computer for controlling a check processing apparatus including a paper supply unit for feeding checks individually to a paper transportation path; an image scanning sensor disposed to the paper transportation path for acquiring check image information as check information; an MICR disposed to the paper transportation path for acquiring magnetic ink character information from magnetic ink characters printed on the check as check information; and a multifeed detection device for detecting thickness information from the check(s) as conveyed on the paper transportation path past said MICR, said host computer comprising: a transmission unit for sending an acquisition command to the check processing apparatus to acquire said check information in order to perform an analysis of said check information for the existence of multifeeding; a receiving unit for receiving the check information from the check processing apparatus; and a control unit comprising a CPU for analyzing the check information received from the receiving unit including the thickness information received from the multifeed detection device; the image information received from the image scanning sensor, and the magnetic ink character information acquired from magnetic ink characters printed on the check wherein an error message is generated when multifeeding is detected, further comprising: a display device for displaying the thickness information, the image information, and the magnetic ink character information received from the check processing apparatus; and an input device to enable a determination of whether the thickness information and either the image information or the magnetic ink character information as displayed on the display device is correct or not.
