APPENDIX C. CHECK READING
The characters printed on the bottom line of commercial and personal checks are special. They
are printed with magnetic ink to meet specific standards. These characters can be read by a
Excella Reader at higher speeds and with more accuracy than manual data entry. Two MICR
character sets are used world wide; they are: E13-B and CMC-7. The E13-B set is used in the
US, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, India, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and the
Far East. The CMC-7 set is used in France, Spain, other Mediterranean countries, and most
South American countries.
E13-B CHARACTER SET
The MICR font character set E13-B includes digits 0 through 9 and four symbols. The numbers
found on U.S. checks are of the E13-B character set. The numbers and symbols of E13-B are as
follows:
CMC-7 CHARACTER SET
The numbers and symbols of the CMC-7 character set are as follows:

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbat im copies o f this lice nse do cument, but changing it is not
allowed.
The licenses for most so ftware are d es igned t o t ake away your freedo m to share a nd cha nge it. B y co nt rast,
the GNU General Public License is intended t o guarant ee your freedo m to share and c hange free so ft ware to make sure the so ftware is free for a ll its users. This General Pu blic License app lies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's so ftware and to any other pro gram whose authors co mmit to using it. (Some ot her
Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instea d.) You
can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free softwar e, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our Ge neral Public Licenses are
designed to make sure t hat you have the freedom to distribute cop ies of free softwar e (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictio ns that forbid anyone to den y you these right s or t o ask
you to surrender the rights. These rest rictions translate to cert ain responsibilities for you if you d istribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute co pies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you mus t show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives
you legal permission to copy, distribute and/o r modify the so ftwar e.
Also, for each author's pr ot ection and o urs, w e want to make cert ain t hat ever yone u nderstands t hat there i s
no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed o n, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, s o that any prob lems intr oduced b y others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free pro gram is threatened constant ly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger t hat
redistributors of a free pro gram will individually obt ain patent licenses, in effect making the patents. We
wish to avoid the danger that redistributor s of a free effect making t he program proprietary.
To prevent this, we have made it c lear that any patent must be licensed for ever yone's free use or not
licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. he precise terms and
conditions for copying, distribution and modification follo w.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any progra m or ot her wor k which cont ains a notice placed by the copyr ight holder
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Pu b lic L ice nse. The "Program", below, refers to
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either t he Program or any derivat ive
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Preamble
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licens ee is addressed as "you".
Activities ot her than copying, distribu tion and modific ation ar e not cove red by th is Licens e; they are out s ide
its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only
if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Pro gr am does.
1. You may copy and distribute ver batim copies of the Program's source co de as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice a nd disc laimer o f warr ant y; keep intact all the notices that refer t o this License and t o the absence of
any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferr ing a copy, and you may at your o ption offer war rant y
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on
the Pro gram, and co py and dist ribute such modificat ions or work under t he terms of Section 1 above,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carr y prominent not ices stat ing that you changed t he files and
the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Program or any part t hereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified progr am normally reads commands i nteractively when run, you must cause it, when
start ed r unn ing for s uch inter ac t ive us e in t he mo st ordinary way, t o pr int o r d isp la y a n a n no u nc e me n t
including an appropriate co pyright notice and a notice that t here is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, a nd
telling the user how to view a cop y of this Lice nse. ( Except ion: if the Pro gr am itself is interact ive but
does no t norma lly pr int suc h an anno unce ment, your wo rk based on the Program is not required to
print an announcement. )
These requirements apply to the modified wor k as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and ca n b e r easonably considered independent and separ ate works in themselves,
then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sect ions when you distribute t hem as separate wor ks.
But whe n you dist ribut e t he same sect ions as pa rt of a who le w hich is a w ork based o n t he Pro gra m, the
distr ibu tion of the who le must be on the ter ms of this License, whose per mission s for ot her licensees ext end
to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by yo u;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control t he distribut ion of derivat ive or collect ive works based on
the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation o f another wo rk not based on t he Program w ith the Pro gram (or with a work
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute t he Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object co de or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you a lso do one o f the follow ing:
a) Accompany it with the co mplete corresponding machine-readable so urce code, which must be
distributed under the ter ms of Sections 1 and 2 above o n a medium customar ily u sed for s oftw are
interchange; o r,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any t hird p ar ty, for a charge
no more than your cost of physically perfor ming source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under t he terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on
a medium customarily used for software interchange; o r ,
c) Accompany it w ith the information you received as to the offer to distribute corr esponding source
code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in acco r d with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an
executable work, complete sour ce code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus an y
associated interface definitio n files, plus t he scripts used t o contro l compilation and inst allation executable.
However, as a special except ion, the source code distributed need not include a nything that is normally
distr ibu t e d (in either s o u r ce o r b inary form) w it h the major c omponent s ( compiler, k ernel, and s o o n) of the
operating system on which the execu table runs, un less that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object co de is made by offering access to copy from a designat ed place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source co de from the same place count s as distribution of the source
code, even though third parties are not compelled to cop y the source along with t he ob ject cod e.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under t his License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under t his License w ill not have their licenses t erminated so long as such parties remain in
full co mpliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, not hing else grants
you permission to modify or distribute the Pr ogram or its der ivat ive works. These act ions are prohibited by
law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Prog r am), the rec ipient aut omatically
receive s a license fr om the orig inal lice nsor to copy, distribute or mod ify the Program subje c t to these terms

and co nditions. You ma y not imp ose any f urther restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the right s grante d
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing co mp liance by third par ties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a co urt judgme nt or alleg at io n of patent infri ng e me nt or for a ny other r ea son (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court o rder, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditio ns o f this License, t hey do not excuse you fro m t he condit ions o f this Licen se. I f
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
pertine nt o bligat ions, the n as a c onse quenc e you may no t dis tribu te t he Pro gra m at all. For examp le, if a
patent license wou ld no t pe rmit ro ya lt y-free redist ribution of the Program by all those who rece ive copies
direct ly o r indir ec t ly t hro ug h yo u, then t he on ly w a y you c o uld s at is fy bo t h it and th is L ice nse wo u ld be t o
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable u nder any part icular c ircumsta nce, the balance
of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in ot her circumstances.
It is not the pur po se o f this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
conte st va lidit y o f an y suc h c laims ; t his sect ion has t he s ole p urp ose o f pro tect ing t he inte grit y o f the fre e
softwar e distr ibution s ystem, wh ich is i mplement ed by pub lic lice nse practices. Ma ny people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence o f the rest of this
License.
8. If the distribut ion and/or use of the Program is rest ricted in certain co untries either by patent s or by
copyrighted interfaces, t he o riginal copyright holder who p laces the Program under this Lice nse may add an
explicit geo g rap hica l d ist r ibut ion lim itation exclu d ing t ho se c ou ntr ies, so tha t d ist ribution is p er mitt ed on ly
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written
in the bo dy of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time . Suc h ne w v e r s io ns w i ll b e si m ila r in s p ir it t o the pr esent vers io n, but may diffe r i n det ail
to address new problems or concerns.
Each ver sion is given a dist inguis hing ve rsio n number . If t he Pro gram spe cifie s a vers ion nu mber o f this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option o f following the t erms and
condit ions eit her o f tha t ver sio n or of a ny la ter ver sion p ub lishe d by t he Free S o ftwa re Fo unda t ion. I f the
Program does not specify a version number o f this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions
are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyright ed by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Softwar e Foundat ion; we sometimes make e xcept ions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goa ls of preserving the free st atus of all derivat ives of our free so ftware
and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANT Y FOR
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSE D
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
NO WARRANTY
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new progr am, and you wa nt it to be of the great est p oss ible use to the publ ic, the best wa y
to achieve this is to make it free software which ever yo ne can redistribute and c hange und er these terms. To
do so, attach the follow ing no tices t o t he prog ram. It is safest to attach the m to t he start o f each so urce file
to most e ffe ctively co n ve y the exc lu s io n of warra nty; and e ach file s ho uld have a t lea st the "co pyright" lin e
and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
