Abstract
The recognition rate is improved and recognition errors are suppressed when recognizing magnetic ink characters. When the magnetic ink characterone character before the target character to which a magnetic recognition process is applied is not recognized, the character recognition unitof a check readerdetects a different peak in a specific range before and after the position of the peak detected as the first peak of the one preceding magnetic ink characterin the signal waveform data, extracts character waveform data for the one preceding magnetic ink characterfrom the signal waveform data based on the position of the detected different peak, and applies the magnetic recognition process to the extracted character waveform data.
