Epson Launches Suite of Check Scanners for Small Business Market

Tuesday 07. April 2009 - First to Offer Multifunction Low-Cost Scanners for Remote Deposit Capture

Today at the NACHA Payments Conference, Epson, a leading supplier of value-added banking and payments solutions, introduced a suite of three affordable scanning devices optimized for small business payment processing. The three products include the CaptureOne(TM) Single-Feed check scanner, the Perfection(TM) V30 flatbed check and document scanner and the WorkForce(TM) 500 All-in-One Scanner with print, copy, fax and photo capabilities. The first to combine customized Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) software with multifunction scanning and document processing devices, Epson’s Perfection V30 and WorkForce 500 offer more robust functionality for the price than any RDC scanners available today. 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% or more of the total receivables for over 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, 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.”

Exclusive Check Imaging Software, Only from Epson

The Perfection V30 and Workforce 500 are the only SMB scanners available today with Epson’s unique SureCapture(TM) 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.

CaptureOne Single-Feed Check Scanner

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 in its class with a high-quality image scanner to ensure crisp, clear check images, electronic endorsement and built-in franker. With an industry-leading 2-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.

Perfection V30 with Check Scanner

Epson’s Perfection V30 is the only color flatbed scanner available today which offers everything SMBs need to take advantage of RDC. Ideal for small businesses that process up to ten 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. Delivering outstanding quality, reliability and affordability, the Perfection V30 Check Scanner is backed by Epson’s industry-leading service and support programs and includes a one-year limited warranty.
