Introducing the new leader in desktop cheque scanning efficiency, the Canon CR-180. It delivers
faster throughput then any comparable scanner. Its unique, all-in-one design boots efficiency:
handling five key steps in a single, quick process.
High-Speed Cheque Scanning
With a duplex scanning speed of 180 cheques per minute (American cheque format), the CR-180 is
up to twice as fast as other compact cheque scanners. You can choose from among five types of
black/white and greyscale scanning modes, and four levels of scan resolution (up to 240 x 240dpi).
When you're ready to start scanning, load up to 200 cheques on the feed tray at once.
Precise MICR Reading
The CR-180 reads the MICR line with a high precision Canon magentic reader, an can also read
this data simultaneously with OCR software. In addition, the Scanning Utility software lets you
save MICR data in different ways: as the file name of an image, in a TIFF file tag, or in a log
file for reference.
Advanced Text Enhancement
This scanning mode offers clearer black and white scans of cheques printed with illustrated or
light coloured backgrounds. With normal scanning, such as design elements may lead to images in
which important information is obscured. By contrast, Canon's exclusive image processing technology
detects where the letters on the page are and emphasises them for improved visibility.
Smooth Document Feeding
Feliable feeding is absolutely curucial to efficient job completion. And that's where Canon
expertise with document scanners makes a difference. The CR-180 allows you to adjust the feed
mechanism to match the thickness of your documents, which ensures that each document moves smoothly
into the scanner. Duplicate forms can be fed as well, by turning off the paper separation
mechanism.
Double Feed Detection
If two cheques get pulled inot the scanner at the same time, you'll be warned right away. The
CR-180 can be set to detect double feeds either by the thickness or length of your documents.
Software
The Canon Scanning Utility application software offers scanning, file saving, image viewing, printing and various other functions. The ISIS/TWAIN diver is bundled and a software development kit is ready for customising scanner operation.
