Abstract:
A print device prints a document with a security marking in a microtext font. A scanning device scans the security marking, and an optical character recognition (OCR) engine attempts to recognize the characters in the security marking. The system the generates an encoding in which each character of the font is mapped to a character string made up only of characters that the OCR engine could recognize at or above a minimum recognition threshold. Then, when generating a new document with a new security marking in the microtext font, the system will use the encoding to replace each character in the security marking with its representation from the encoding so that the scanner and OCR engine can decode the security marking.

Claim (Index 8):
A system for generating an encoding for printing secure information on a document, the system comprising:\n an image processing server comprising a processing device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the image processing server to:\n receive, from a scanning device, a digital scanned image of a security mark that is printed on a substrate comprising a plurality of characters in a microtext font, wherein:\n each of the plurality characters appears more than one time in the security mark, and \n the microtext font comprises a plurality of font characters, \n \n apply an OCR process to the digital scanned image to attempt to recognize the plurality of characters in the security mark; \n identify which of the plurality of characters in the security mark are recognized via the OCR process at least a number of times that exceeds a recognition threshold; \n allocate the plurality of characters that are recognized via the OCR process at least a threshold number of times to a character subset for an encoding; \n generate an encoding comprising a representation of each of the font characters in the microtext font as an encoded character string that consists of one or more of the characters that are in the character subset; and \n save the encoding to a memory device.
