Nov. 3, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Demonstrating its ability to improve efficiency, control and security for financial institutions and their customers through the use of its check transports and scanning hardware, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in advanced digital imaging technologies and supplier of check capture devices, will showcase the versatility and benefits of its check transports and digital document scanners, including the top-of-the-line imageFORMULA CR-180II and CR-55 Check Transports, at the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) Retail Delivery Show, beginning today in Boston, Booth # 438.

“Today’s financial marketplace is at a critical crossroad of finding ways to streamline business practices while keeping overhead costs down and still improving the payment and transaction process,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “As a recognized provider of advanced image capture and scanning solutions, we will demonstrate how our document scanners and check transports offer customers and financial institutions a practical solution to meet the real-world needs of the financial marketplace at BAI’s show.”

Canon solutions on display during this year’s show include:

• imageFORMULA P-150 Personal Scanner: Launching later this year, the P-150’s compact size and simple use liberates document capture by taking it beyond the walls of the office to the convenience of any user location. Its innovative design and outstanding value make it ideal for use by “road warriors” and office users for general-purpose distributed document scanning applications to improve personal efficiency and productivity, as well as check scanning in remote deposit capture applications. Measuring only 11 inches long, 3.7 inches wide and 1.6 inches high and weighing just over two pounds, the P-150 redefines the minimum dimensions of a document scanner with automatic document feeder. The Canon P-150 can scan a batch of up to 20 letter-sized documents at up to 15 pages-per-minute (ppm) and 30 images-per-minute^I (ipm), yet still fits easily into a briefcase. For quick use and minimal setup, the P-150 can use electrical power via a single USB cable connected to a PC, and when first connected will immediately launch Canon CaptureOnTouch Lite. This “Plug-and-Scan” capability lets users easily and instantaneously start scanning without installing drivers or imaging applications, decreasing the time needed to initiate a scan and simplifying the scanning process.
