Abstract
A media processing device improves the recognition rate of magnetic ink character data from magnetic ink characters printed on a medium. The media processing devicehas a magnetic reading unitthat acquires the magnetic data of magnetic ink characters Sfrom a check S; and a front image scanner unitthat exposes the check Sto a front image scanning light and acquires front image data. When at least a magnetic data read command to read magnetic ink characters Sis received from a computer, the front image scanner unitis set to a front image scanning modethat acquires front image data using infrared light as the front image data. The check processing deviceacquires the magnetic data and front image data, and sends the acquired data to the computer. The computerrecognizes the magnetic ink characters S
