ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identifying a character which cannot be machine read so that an operator may observe the identified character and make the necessary correction. A document such as a bank check or the like which has a field of encoded characters thereon is moved along a transport path to a read station. When the read station is unable to identify a character, a "can't read" or reject signal is generated and this reject signal can be used to locate the identified character which cannot be machine read for later use. The document then proceeds to a marker station and when the reject character is properly positioned with respect to the printing station, a single wire dot printer mechanism is used to place a mark or dot above or below the character which could not be machine read or in some other suitable location which will positively identify the character which could not be machine read.
