Abstract
A recording device and a control method for a recording device improve the accuracy of reading MICR information while also shortening the time required for recording media processing. A dot impact printerhas a magnetic headthat magnetically reads MICR information recorded on a recording medium S, a recording headthat is mounted on a different carriage than the magnetic headand records images on the recording medium S, and a back scannerthat optically reads MICR information recorded on the recording medium S, disposed sequentially to the transportation path P of the recording medium S. When reading the MICR information by means of the magnetic headdoes not succeed, the recording medium S is conveyed to the back scannerthe MICR information is read by the back scannerthe reading results are compared, and the MICR information is identified.
