MICR
MICR abbreviation for (Computer Science) magnetic ink character recognition MICR
MICR (computer science) magnetic-ink character recognition MICRMagnetic Ink Character RecognitionMICR(Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) The machine recognition of numeric data printed with magnetically charged ink. It is used on bank checks and deposit slips. MICR readers detect the characters and convert them into digital data. Although optical methods (OCR) became as sophisticated as the early MICR technology, magnetic ink is still used. It serves as a deterrent to fraud, because a photocopied check will not be printed with magnetic ink.
