are had shall enter upon the record of the mortgage or other lien, in the county recorder's
office where it is recorded, a memorandum of the character of the proceedings, giving
also the volume and page of the record where they are recorded. The clerk may tax in the bill of costs the fees of the recorder provided by law for
the entry of the memorandum, release, satisfaction, or record, including a fee to
himself for making the entry as provided for in division (K) of section 2303.20 of the Revised Code , and the fees provided by law for official copies of records. In a county in which the county recorder has determined to use the microfilm process
