Abstract:
1. A recording media processing device comprising: a magnetic reading unit that magnetically reads a magnetic ink character recorded on a recording medium; a storage unit that stores reference waveform data for a plurality of characters and a specific threshold value; and a character recognition unit that compares character waveform data acquired by the magnetic reading unit reading the magnetic ink character with the reference waveform data read from the storage unit and calculates a difference therebetween, selects a candidate character for the read magnetic ink character based on the difference, and determines whether or not the candidate character is the magnetic ink character based on the difference and the specific threshold; wherein when selecting the candidate character, the character recognition unit modifies reference waveform data for a plurality of printing methods in plural ways and compares the character waveform data with plural combinations of modified reference waveform data to select the candidate, and
