Canon announces new cheque scanners

To cater to the incessant needs of organisations to manage their workflow, Canon is now launching a new series of document and cheque scanners that maximize desk-spaces for a smarter workflow with a 55% reduction in footprint size. K. Bhaskhar, Director- OIS, Canon India, said, “Financial services & healthcare organisations with paper-intensive processes, are looking for digitization of documents through image capture or electronic form technologies to manage their workflow and improvise the efficiency of their core business processes.”

He added, “For businesses that scan cheques frequently, accuracy and reliability are crucial. Canon’s cheque scanners are designed with smart features, and are easy to use from front-desk counter to back-end desk.”

The CR25 scanner is big on advanced front-office functionality while its ultra-compact size means it easily fits into most spaces. A fast and efficient front-counter cheque reader ensures a smooth workflow.

Tipping the scales at 2 kg, the CR-25 is very light and has small stature. With the CR-25 one can scan up to 25 or 55 cheques per minute respectively, using black & white and greyscale image reading. It is equipped with a magnetic head to read MICR codeline data on cheques at a rated accuracy of over 99.9%. Supporting international E13B and CMC7 standards for MICR recognition, the scanner can handle multiple cheque types and sizes and simultaneously read MICR codeline data with OCR software.

Bhaskar added, “Canon's cheque scanners come with software drivers to boost scanning power. It is customised to a wide range of leading cheque processing software and easily integrates into existing systems for the widest cheque scanning options available.”

Canon’s scanning software allows scanning, file saving, viewing and other functions to make operation effortless. The device also features a cover that opens to the side, making it easier to clear a misfed or perform maintenance tasks such as cleaning the scanning glass and feed rollers.
