The embossed characters and encoding read from the card are compared with the stored card data to verify accuracy and are compared to coding on the carrier form (26A, 26B) to determine if there is a match. A code on the carrier is also compared to stored carrier data and to the cards provided for insertion and are rejected without cards if incorrectly prepared.Field of SearchCredit or identification card systemsCarriage Aligning records Holding devices SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY DATA BEARING RECORDS CODED RECORD SENSORS Bar code With scanning of record RECORDS Guides With measuring, testing, or inspecting Surface deformation only of sandwich or lamina (e.g., embossed panels) With printing All laminae planar and face to face With testing, measuring, and/or indicating means Printing | |
