Further Information
The Cheque Truncation system – allowing the exchange of data and cheque images electronically - has created the need for a cheque scanner for counter use. The CR-55 is the answer – a compact, affordable and productive device with an outstanding handling accuracy.
Compact design, productive scanning
At 2kg, the CR-55 is as light as a laptop, and its dimensions (223mmx140mmx188mm) ensure it
sits comfortably on the smallest of desks or counters. With the CR-55 by your side, it’s easy to
scan in high quality at a class-leading 55 cheques per minute, using 24-bit colour,
black-and-white, and greyscale image reading.
Advanced double-feed detection
Canon’s heritage in paper-based document feeding is used in the CR-55 to ensure exceptional
reliability. Fifty cheques can be loaded at once and an infra-red sensor uses two different,
sophisticated calculations to detect double-feeding, for trouble-free operation. It also allows the
CR-55 to handle multiple cheque types and sizes, which can restrict competitive devices that only
use cheque length to identify double-feeds. However, in the unlikely event of a cheque feeding
error, the device is designed to make resolution quick and simple, via an easy-access maintenance
cover on the side.
MICR font reading & imprinting
The CR-55 can read Magnetic Ink Character Recognition fonts with a 99.9% reading ratio.
Innovative design also ensures that there is no interference caused by static electricity and
radiation from PC monitors. An imprinter unit is built-in to the CR-55 which can print endorsement
information on cheques prior to scanning.
Powerful software
Canon’s scanning software allows scanning, file saving and viewing and other functions to
make operation effortless. The widely recognised Ranger Driver from Silver Bullet™ is also
incorporated which enables system integrators to incorporate the CR-55 into their workfl
