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

The original color
check is scanned in 2 different modes.
B&W and
Advanced Text Enhancement.

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

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.
|
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.
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.
|
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.
|
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 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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

- CR-180
Scanning Utility is bundled with every CR-180. It is
an application that does scanning, file saving, image
viewing, printing, etc.
- 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.

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.
