FEATURES

High-Speed Check Scanning

Scans check on both sides at up to 180 checks per minute (cpm). It is almost twice as fast as other compact check scanners. You can choose between black & white or grayscale. To value-add, it also comes with an advanced text enhancement and color dropout features. The CR-180 allows you to load up to 200 checks on the tray at any one time.

 Compact yet Durable

While its compact size is catered perfectly for desktop use, its superb durability is just like any other Canon production scanner. The CR-180 boosts a shelf life of 24 millions scans*, with an average daily volume of up to 200,000 checks.

Priced very affordably, it is a must-have device for back office use in banks, check-clearing houses, back up machine in process center application or for other mission critical tasks.

*Maintenance and parts replacement are required.

Advanced Text Enhancement & Color Dropout

With this value-added feature, letters, signatures or checks printed with illustrated or faint colored backgrounds can be emphasized for higher legibility.
 

Original Check

Black & White Mode
Advanced Text Enhancement Mode

The original color check is scanned in 2 different modes. 

B&W and Advanced Text Enhancement.

 

Color Dropout

Another useful feature to improve OCR and text recognition is to remove “unwanted” colors in the electronic images.

Over 99.99% accuracy in MICR Data reading

The CR-180 reads the MICR line found at the bottom of each check with a high precision magnetic reader, and can also read this data simultaneously with OCR software.

The CR-180 Scanning Utility software lets you save MICR data in different ways: save as a filename, tag of a tiff file, log file. The log file serves as a detailed and quick reference, containing fields like dates, file names, MICR data.

 

Smooth Document Feeding

Reliable feeding is one of the most important criteria in document imaging. With Canon’s expertise in Document Scanners, it makes a difference. It has a superior feed mechanism to match the thickness of each document, which ensures that each document moves smoothly into the scanner.

 

Bypass Mode

The Bypass Mode  allows for jam-free scanning of sticky-duplicate or multiform documents or even damaged checks sealed in a “check carrier” envelope.

 

Double Feed Detection

This function automatically detects when two or more checks have been fed into the scanner at the same time. The CR-180 is able to detect double feeds either by the thickness or length of your documents.

 

Built-in Imprinter

This function allows you to print up to 48 characters on the back of each check as they are scanned through the CR-180. Four different inks’ colors are available: black, red, green and blue.

 

Built-in Jogger Unit

A stack of checks loaded on the feed tray can be aligned before scanning. This is extremely useful so as to achieve a high MICR reading accuracy. It saves you the time and hassle to physically prepare each stack of checks prior to scanning.

Two Output Pockets

Two pockets so that you can sort scanned checks into two output pockets based on information printed in the MICR line. For example: Read and Error checks are sorted into Pocket 1 and 2 respectively.

 

Secondary Usage

While check scanning is the primary function, the CR-180 serves a very useful secondary function of scanning larger-size papers. It can scan documents that are as large as 4.6” x 9.1. As such, transaction documents such as pre-printed vouchers, forms, etc can be digitized using the CR-180. An extendable output tray is built to handle the extra size.

Ease of Maintenance

The CR-180 opens on the side, which makes it easy to change the imprinter’s ink cartridge, clear a paper jam, or perform maintenance tasks such as cleaning the scanning glass and feed rollers.

Wealth of Software Bundling

  1. CR-180 Scanning Utility is bundled with every CR-180. It is an application that does scanning, file saving, image viewing, printing, etc.
  2. ISIS/TWAIN Driver and Software Development Kit
    The ISIS/TWAIN driver is also bundled with the device and a Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for customizing scanner operation.
  3. Silver Bullet's Ranger Transport API™ Software Tool
     As the industry standard, Silver Bullet’s Ranger Software allows customers to use virtually any item processing software with virtually any check scanning hardware. The Canon CR-180 is one of them. The inclusion of Ranger with the CR-180 enables most banks to upgrade to the new Canon Check Scanners without having to replace their current software solution.

    With this inclusion, regardless of the software being used by a bank, the CR-180 will most likely work in their environment. This is certain delightful news for both application developers and users alike.
