Hi All, I am a new in this world of scanners and have to provide support for a MICR/OCR document scanner(details given below) on Linux.
Does Linux has support of MICR Readers or some framework to support them ? Can SANE framework be used for supporting MICR/OCR readers ? Can someone guide me to the right mailing list if this is not the right mailing list for asking doubts on MICR scanners ?
