Quick, accurate cheque and voucher scanning with Canon’s new imageFORMULA CR-190i

(1st July 2010)

Canon UK, have 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 and is designed to scan cheques, vouchers and coupons, with image accuracy rated at over 99.9% precision (based on Canon testing). The high quality 4-line imprinter can also add text or bitmap images to scanned documents.

This new versatile scanner uses a combination of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) and supported by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and is one of the most reliable scanners on the market. It 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.

Trevor Dodsworth, Head of Product Marketing, Business to Business, Canon UK commented:

“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 began shipping across Europe in mid-July 2010.
