Abstract

See full text

A detection system for detecting and/or verifying the magnetic properties of the magnetic ink layer on common printed or copied documents includes, in order of interaction with the magnetic ink of a Document, a saturation record head, a saturation read head, a non-saturation record head, and a non-saturation read head. The disclosed method of operation is equivalent to the normal testing of the magnetic layer of a Document, but eliminates the need for an erase magnet.
