ABSTRACT:
Color coding of characters both for optical character recognition by a machine and for viewing by a human is provided by coloring a character with a predominate color distinguishable by humans and a non-predominate color non-distracting to humans, but distinguishable by a color scanner. The advantage of the present invention is higher optical character recognition accuracy rates without the severe visual distraction to human readers of prior art color coded characters. A further technical advantage is that the invention can be practiced with conventional color printers and color scanners instead of the specialized apparatus of prior art color coded characters.
