Abstract
A bank check reader operative without the necessity of a constant rate of check movement is achieved by imposing a set of flux reversals over the magnetic ink characters to be read. The flux reversals permit a pulse count sequence to be generated which is unique to each magnetic ink character independent of the rate of check movement.
