Abstract
A method and system for processing a batch of documents such as checks for achieving concurrent, reject re-entry and repair of rejects of the batch of documents in association with a sorting machine. A document reader such as a MICR reader for example, and an imaging apparatus are included along the document track to generate MICR data and digitized image data for each document passing thereby. A document whose MICR data is read correctly is routinely sorted while a document whose MICR data for a field is missing, for example, is sorted in a reject pocket. The data needed to complete the missing field is obtained by an operator viewing an image of the document on a data entry terminal while the associated document which was sorted in the reject pocket is stored at an encoder coupled to the reject pocket. The now-complete data obtained by the operator is used by the encoder to print the now-complete data for the missing field on the associated document.
