Banks use special MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Reader) device to read data from cheques. These machines are designed to place a set of cheques on its tray. Each cheque pass through the machine one by one automatically. At this point, an image of the cheque scanned into a computer (similar to a scanner and the image is typically black & white) while characters written in special magnetic ink will be read parallel to the scanning and stored in another file as a textual record. The machine itself generate a number to identify the image and its relevant record.
