Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today introduced a new model, the
MicroEX, to the SmartSource® Micro Series line of
multi-function remote deposit scanners. The MicroEX adds full-page
imaging capabilities, with a scan height from 2.13 inches (54
millimeters) to 8.5 inches (216 millimeters) and a length from 3.15
inches (80 millimeters) to 13.98 inches (355 millimeters).
Unisys made the announcement at The Association for Work Process
Improvement’s TAWPI
2009 Forum & Expo.
The SmartSource Micro Series offers enterprises a low-cost, easy way to
deposit checks from their offices directly into their bank accounts. At
the same time, it provides financial institutions with a cost-effective
remote capture solution for small-business customers.
The new MicroEX model is priced at US$225 and is capable of imaging
full-page documents in addition to cards, receipts and checks. Unisys
believes that the MicroEX is the lowest-priced full-page-enabled check
scanner available today.
“The response to our SmartSource Micro Series scanners has been so
positive that we felt it was important to round out the product line
with a similar scanner that could image full-page documents,” said Alan
Howard, president, Unisys Payment Systems. “The MicroEX is a perfect fit
for small-business customers and consumers who occasionally need to
archive full-page documents but don’t want to devote scarce desktop
space to a flatbed scanner.”
All SmartSource Micro Series scanners are USB-powered, requiring no
additional external power source. The scanners use optical character
recognition technology to read the magnetic ink character recognition
(MICR) line on checks, allowing for easier processing because checks do
not need to be specifically aligned on the scanning path.
Both the Micro and MicroEX models image in a duplex mode, capturing both
the front and rear sides of a document with one pass. The scanners are
compatible with Silver Bullet’s Ranger interface and are TWAIN-compliant.
Unisys expects that volume shipments of the SmartSource Micro Series
will be available on October 1. For more information, see www.unisys.com/go/micro.
The Unisys SmartSource family of image-scanning item-processing products
works well in a variety of environments, including back office, teller
and corporate capture.
