Abstract:
1. A method for processing a document having a near side and a far side comprising the steps of: imaging the near side of the document with a front imaging camera for creating a near side image of the document; imaging the far side of the document with a rear imaging camera for creating a far side image of the document; locating a read head proximate the near side of the document; utilizing the read head for sensing, through the document from the near side to the far side, magnetic ink disposed upon the far side of the document for producing a magnetic ink character data string waveform; analyzing the magnetic ink character data string waveform by applying magnetic ink character recognition logic including a reverse magnetic ink character recognition algorithm, wherein the reverse magnetic ink character recognition algorithm includes the steps of swapping the far and near side images with one another in order to compensate for the analytically recognized backward orientation of the document as a result of the determination that the magnetic ink character data string waveform is: reversed, inverted and includes a reduced amplitude.
