Features

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 workflow.
