The 3 Closest Relatives
3 encoding technologies are commonly confused with MICR. The recon cutoff tool’s per-encoding-confusion-flag identifies each case.
Relative 1: OCR (Optical Character Recognition). OCR reads printed text visually. The recon cutoff tool’s per-ocr-vs-micr-flag identifies the case.
Relative 2: OMR (Optical Mark Recognition). OMR reads marks (checkboxes). The recon cutoff tool’s per-omr-vs-micr-flag identifies the case.
Relative 3: Barcode. Barcode is a 1D encoding. The recon cutoff tool’s per-barcode-vs-micr-flag identifies the case.
3 Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Confusing micr line with similar attributes. The recon cutoff tool’s per-micr-line-confusion-flag identifies this.
Mistake 2: Ignoring the edge cases. A common failure mode bookkeepers report is the micr line edge case causing a denial. The recon cutoff tool’s per-micr-line-edge-case-flag identifies this.
Mistake 3: Using generic examples instead of real values. The recon cutoff tool’s per-micr-line-real-example-flag validates the values.
