Abstract
A mailpiece magnetic ink content (MIC) recognition detection system includes a first MIC mailpiece detector and a second MIC mailpiece detector that are coupled to an isolation assembly that isolates the MIC mailpiece detectors from the mailpiece transport system to reduce vibrations and improve sensitivity and accuracy of detecting magnetic sensitive materials in a mailpiece. A mailpiece having a magnetic material, such as a magnetic ink moves through the mailpiece transport system along the mailpiece transport axis and past the first and second MIC mailpiece detectors. The first MIC mailpiece detector is configured on a first side of the mailpiece, front for example, and the second MIC mailpiece detector is configured on a second side of the mailpiece, the back, to enable better detection of any magnetic material on and/or in the mailpiece.
