Burroughs Inc. has announced the release of the SmartSource Expert Elite intelligent network check scanner. The device adds an Ethernet connection and built-in intelligence into the SmartSource Elite series platform, enabling the Expert Elite to perform required image and MICR processing while maintaining rated throughput, a Burroughs press release said.

Network scanners offer advantages over USB scanners and network scanners that lack embedded processing, including image processing, cleanup and compression, which greatly reduces network bandwidth requirements, the company said.

Unlike a USB scanner, the Expert Elite is not tethered to a single computer and can be shared by multiple users. In addition, the Expert Elite can be deployed in a virtual desktop environment.

There's no need to install a USB driver and API software; the Expert Elite simply connects to the client network and it is ready to go making it an ideal scanner for deployment in teller and remote deposit capture environments, according to Burroughs.

"Burroughs was the first to deliver a network check scanner nearly two decades ago and we are excited that the Expert Elite will enable more banks to deploy this technology as a key element of their future check deposit strategy" said CEO Larry McCarter.
