Recommended Scanners

Organizations which receive remittance items whose size can be as long as 8 1/2 x 14 can utilize the Smartsource Adaptive scanner. The scanner supports full page document scanning but is, in fact a check scanner with the ability to extract MICR data in bitonal and grayscale. More details can be found here:

Drivers and Services

In addition to driver installation, end-users using the Check Scanning SDK must also download and install Ranger Remote, a windows service that allows browsers to communicate with check scanning hardware. Both the check scanning drivers and Ranger Remote are, in many cases, the same drivers shipped by the manufacturers themselves. As such, drivers and services adhere to the highest security protocols.
