RDM is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and provides electronic check conversion systems, web-based image and transaction management services for banks, retailers, payment processors, and government agencies, as well as print quality control and image quality systems for various global clients.
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition.
This technology is used on checks, and RDM is the only company in the world offering a dedicated MICR verifier.
The verifier is available in the QCV series for large sheet scanning and the QCX series for cut-sheet scanning.
QCV Series
Features
The QCV series is RDM’s dedicated MICR (E13B) verification system that easily checks whether the magnetic print level of MICR on checks or drafts conforms to standards during the printing process.
The system allows verification of printed lines directly on large sheets without cutting them into individual check sizes.
It eliminates the need for manual inspection and does not require special skills, making it easy for anyone to perform verification.

Key Features
- Can be used as a standalone unit on the printing floor
- Easy operation—anyone can perform verification
- Highly reliable
- Supports a wide range of sheet sizes
- Rugged design
- Detailed data verification available when combined with the included QCX software (PC-installable)
QCX Software
Analyzes the read magnetic signal levels and displays results in waveform, numeric, and graph formats to determine pass/fail, report MICR defects, image issues, and warnings.
Provides features for creating custom alerts and screen pop-ups.
This allows problems to be reported or emailed to administrators and informs printing operators of necessary actions.
Advantages
The upgradable software offers a reliable and intuitive user interface.
- Simultaneous magnetic and optical MICR testing
- Image readiness testing
- Custom layouts for MICR and image
- Test log files for statistical analysis
- Test alerts and on-screen popup warnings
Three Types of QCV Models
The QCV series is available in three different models.
QCV Basic
The basic model features a fixed reading head. While sheet size does not matter, the reader scans the character string in the clear band at the bottom of the document and can read all three horizontally aligned MICR fields in a single pass.
