Canon launches imageFORMULA CR-190i for quick, accurate cheque and voucher scanning

imageFORMULA CR-190i REIGATE, July 01, 2010 – Canon UK, world leader in imaging solutions, today announced the launch of the imageFORMULA CR-190i cheque scanner to meet the needs of banks and retailers needing fast, high-quality payment processing.

  • The imageFORMULA CR-190i is one of the fastest compact cheque scanners on the market, processing 190 cheques per minute
  • Designed to scan cheques, vouchers and coupons, image accuracy is rated at over 99.9% precision*
  • High quality 4-line imprinter can add text or bitmap images to scanned documents

The imageFORMULA CR-190i is a versatile scanner that can process cheques, deposit slips, envelopes, vouchers and coupons. Using a combination of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) and supported by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, it is one of the most reliable scanners on the market with a rated accuracy of over 99.9%*.

The new model has been designed with considerable enhancements to its predecessor, the highly popular imageFORMULA CR-180II, including high speed production of up to 190 cheques per minute in batch scans of up to 250 documents at a time.

Accurate scans are assured with Fine Text Filtering to reduce unnecessary “noise” on images with patterned backgrounds. In addition the imageFORMULA CR-190i is one of the few scanners with a 4-line automatic imprinter and capable of printing bitmap images to scanned cheques.

Trevor Dodsworth, Head of Product Marketing, Business to Business, Canon UK says, “There are still a number of countries across Europe where cheques still remain an important method of payment. These markets require cutting edge technology to ensure that cheques are read as accurately and efficiently as possible.

“With the design of the imageFORMULA CR-190i our focus was on providing an accurate, versatile scanning system that could be used in banks and retail outlets.   Due to Canon’s continuous investment in research and development, the new scanner supports a range of document types – from traditional cheques to deposit slips, envelopes and even vouchers and coupons.”

The imageFORMULA CR-190i ensures all cheques are captured with its reliable Ultrasonic Double Feed Detection function.  Three output trays also sort and batch multiple documents according to application requirements, such as multiple document types or to separate rejected cheques.

The Energy Star and ROHS compliant imageFORMULA CR-190i is straightforward to set up and use, and has an optional updated software development kit that enables the scanner to be seamlessly integrated into any customer application. The unique ‘S’ shaped transport design also incorporates accessible side covers making cleaning and maintenance simple.

The imageFORMULA CR-190i will begin shipping across Europe from mid-July 2010.
