7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one further zone includes a leading blank zone and a trailing blank zone located adjacent opposed sides of the check, wherein the MICR zone extends adjacent a bottom edge of the check between the leading blank zone and the trailing blank zone, wherein the at least one processor is operative to determine that the check has a relatively higher probability of being fraudulent than non-fraudulent responsive at least in part to the at least one processor determining that at least one of the leading blank zone and the trailing blank zone includes a detectable amount of magnetic indicia that is above the at least one predetermined threshold.
