Abstract
Check processing involves detecting a check; scanning a back of the check having no printed authorization data to capture a back image; scanning a front of the check to capture a front image; reading magnetic ink characters on the front of the check; generating authorization data indicating that the check is valid based on the magnetic ink characters, the authorization data being generated electronically; generating an electronic merged image by electronically combining the back image with the authorization data in a predetermined area, the electronic merged image being generated such that at least a portion of the authorization data overlaps the back image. The operations are performed as the check is conveyed through a transportation path in one direction, one time. The check processing can be embodied in a method, apparatus, or instructions embodied on a machine-readable medium.
