Compact Front-Counter Design - Ideally sized for small workspaces

Featuring a space-saving footprint of 140 x 223 cm, the CR-55's compact, front-counter design fits even the narrowest spaces offering high-performance check scanning at teller counters and cashier windows.              

Superior Speed and Reliability - Fast double-sided batch scans

The CR-55 offers rapid double-sided batch scanning, feeding batches of up to 50 items at a time and capturing MICR data along with images of both sides of each check at a rate of 55 checks per minute (U.S. checks, 200 dpi, B&W or Grayscale).

Unmatched scanning quality

The user-friendly CR-55 satisfies a wide range of applications with multiple scanning modes offering high quality scanning in black & white, grayscale, or 24-bit color. Highly accurate check reproductions with superior image clarity and detail are ensured with image delivered at resolutions up to 300 dpi.

Smooth paper feeding

The CR-55 features an advanced paper handling mechanism for continuous, high-speed check feeding without jamming ‹ even for batches containing mixed sizes. Adjustable feeding allows items of different thickness to be handled, while an extendable output tray means the scanner can accommodate larger checks up to 106 x 228 mm (4.2 x 9.0 in). For added efficiency, Infrared Double Feed Detection provides protection against lost data caused by multiple feeds.

High-precision MICR reading

A sophisticated magnetic head, exclusive to Canon, reads MICR code line data with a level of accuracy rated at over 99.9%*. Supporting international E13B and CMC7 standards for MICR recognition, the scanner also simultaneously reads this data with OCR software.
* For E13B MICR font recognition

Crisp, clear images from difficult to scan items

Canon's exclusive image processing technology provides unmatched clarity and text detail when capturing black & white images of checks with illustrated and colored backgrounds. Advanced Text Enhancement and Adaptive Threshold modes ensure valuable check data ‹ both typed and handwritten ‹ is appropriately emphasized, even against noisy backgrounds.

Flexible and Easy to Use - Easy system integration

Bundled with a driver based on Silver Bullet Technology's Ranger� Transport API software, the CR-55 is easily integrated into existing systems, and can mixed & matched with a wide range of leading check processing software.

Wide connectivity

The CR-55's Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface allows for fast plug-and-play connectivity.

Pre-scan endorsements with built-in imprinter

The C-55's built-in imprinter prints endorsement information up to 32 characters (standard 3 mm font) or 48 characters (2 mm font) on checks just before scanning by the image sensor, allowing information such as routing details to be included with each check image for check truncation at the earliest stage.

Easy maintenance

For optimal convenience and simple maintenance, the CR-55 features a cover that opens to the side making it easy to clear misfed checks and clean feed rollers and scanning glass.
