Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A method for point of presentation signature verification for a monetary instrument comprising the steps of: machine reading a machine-only readable representation of an authorized signature on a monetary instrument; comparing an actual signature on the monetary instrument with said representation thereof provided by machine reading of the machine-only readable representation; and in response to similarity, providing an output indication of information verification.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
63 words
A method for point of presentation signature verification for a monetary instrument comprising the steps of: machine reading a machine-only readable representation of an authorized signature on a monetary instrument; comparing an actual signature on the monetary instrument with said representation thereof provided by machine reading of the machine-only readable representation; and in response to similarity, providing an output indication of information verification.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 16
Independent Claim
100 words
A system for verification of a monetary instrument bearing machine-only readable information thereon comprising: a reader which reads said machine-only readable information and provides an output; a computer which receives the output of said reader and provides an output of information represented by the machine-only readable information; a display which displays, in human recognizable form, said information represented by the machine-only readable information; an additional reader which reads human recognizable information on said monetary instrument and provides a second output; and a comparator which automatically compares the second output with the output of information represented by the machine-only readable information.
Claim 17
Independent Claim
100 words
A system for verification of a monetary instrument bearing machine-only readable information thereon comprising: a reader which reads said machine-only readable information and provides an output; a computer which receives the output of said reader and provides an output of information represented by the machine-only readable information; a display which displays, in human recognizable form, said information represented by the machine-only readable information; an additional reader which reads human recognizable information on said monetary instrument and provides a second output; and a comparator which automatically compares the second output with the output of information represented by the machine-only readable information.
