Ken:
Google "MICR Check Scanner". It's a pretty competitive market. What was hi-tech twenty years ago is priced like popcorn today.
My guess is that these deliver a structured ASCII stream, very easy to parse; and include a calibration utility and sensitivity adjustment.
Be sure to verify whether these scan:
1) Magnetic only;
2) Optical only;
3) Magnetic and/or Optical
If it's within your budget, go option #3 every time, since the signal strength and conformation of MICR characters printed on desktop laser printers (now commonly in circulation) may vary widely. The optical scan saves you when the magnetic scan fails.
Hope this helps.

Any suggestions on a reliable low to medium use check scanner to be used
as an input medium RBase Extreme database?
Thanks...
