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 22):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to use an encoding to decode secure information that is printed on a document, the programming instructions comprising instructions that are configured to cause an 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 each of the characters printed in the security mark is part of an encoded character string that represents a full character set of the microtext font, and wherein the plurality of characters included in the security mark are a character subset of the full character set; receive an indication that the new microtext security mark corresponds to an encoding; apply an OCR process to identify the encoded character strings that are in the new microtext security mark; access a memory device containing the encoding, and map each of the identified encoded character strings in the microtext security mark to a corresponding font character in the full character set as represented in the encoding; convert each of the identified encoded character strings in the microtext security mark to its corresponding font character in the full character set; and save, to a memory, a document file in which the identified encoded character strings in the microtext security mark have been replaced with their corresponding font characters in the full character set.
