Epson launches check scanners for small biz
April 8, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. — At the NACHA Payments Conference, Epson introduced a suite of three scanning devices optimized for small business payment processing.
According to a news release, the three products include the CaptureOne Single-Feed check scanner, the Perfection V30 flatbed check and document scanner, and the WorkForce 500 All-in-One Scanner with print, copy, fax and photo capabilities. Epson's Perfection V30 and WorkForce 500 combine customized remote deposit capture software with multifunction scanning and document processing devices for more robust functionality. And Epson says the CaptureOne Single-Feed scanner offers the highest MICR accuracy of any competitive single-feed RDC device in its class.
According to Celent, checks represent 75 percent or more of the total receivables for more than two-thirds of small businesses, and RDC is an untapped opportunity in this segment.
"Until now, RDC has been too complex and expensive for small business users," said Bud Weist, vice president of sales and marketing for the Epson System Device Group. "Epson has just made RDC easy, affordable and flexible, with three low-cost check processing options that conform to small business workflow."
The Perfection V30 and Workforce 500 are the only SMB scanners available today with Epson's SureCapture check imaging software. Designed to automatically handle the check imaging process, SureCapture crops, aligns and matches both sides of the check to prevent item errors, reads the MICR and sends the check data to the bank with all formatting required by the RDC application. The software comes bundled with both scanner models and is simple to install and use.
Epson's CaptureOne Single-Feed scanner is ideal for small business customers processing up to 30 checks per day. It boasts the highest MICR accuracy. With an industry-leading two-year warranty and overnight replacement options to minimize downtime, Epson's CaptureOne Single-Feed check scanner is the ideal option for banks and ISOs looking to implement trouble-free RDC in a large number of small businesses with geographically dispersed locations. Epson's Perfection V30 is the only color flatbed scanner available today that offers everything SMBs need to take advantage of RDC. Ideal for small businesses that process up to 10 checks per day, it combines high-resolution color flatbed document and photo scanning with customized check processing capabilities. The Perfection V30 allows users to scan, copy, create PDFs, email documents and photos and, with its unique SureCapture check imaging software, it also captures and formats check images for the unique RDC application.
The Workforce 500 offers everything SMBs need to take advantage of the benefits of RDC. In its class it is ideal for small businesses that accept up to 10 checks per day. It allows users to scan, print, copy and fax documents and photos, and, with its unique SureCapture check imaging software, it also captures and formats check images tailored to their RDC application. In addition to check imaging, it offers fast print speeds and laser-quality printing. The device also includes a 30-page automatic document feeder for quick copying, scanning or faxing.
Other features include double-sided printing to conserve paper, color faxes up to 3 seconds per page, and it uses up to three times less power than a regular laser printer.
