What Is a MICR Check Scanner?

A MICR check scanner combines check imaging with Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) technology. The MICR reader can capture information printed along the bottom of a check, such as the routing number, account number, and check number.

This information can be used by compatible check-processing software to reduce manual data entry and help automate payment processing.

Check Scanners for Remote Deposit Capture

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) allows eligible businesses to scan checks at their location and electronically submit check images to a participating financial institution instead of physically taking checks to a bank branch.

A compatible check scanner, appropriate software, and participating financial institution are generally required.

RDC can help businesses:

• Reduce trips to the bank
• Deposit checks from their own location
• Improve accounts receivable efficiency
• Digitize check images
• Process check deposits more efficiently
• Reduce manual check handling

Availability and requirements vary by bank and RDC provider.

Who Uses Commercial Check Scanners?

Check scanners are useful for organizations that regularly receive paper checks, including:

• Banks and credit unions
• Check-cashing businesses
• Retail businesses
• Corporate offices
• Medical offices
• Insurance companies
• Property management companies
• Government agencies
• Utility companies
• Nonprofit organizations
• Accounting departments
• Accounts receivable departments

Check Scanners for Banks & Financial Institutions

Banks and credit unions often require high-speed, reliable check scanning equipment for teller operations, back-office processing, and commercial deposits.

Depending on the application, financial institutions may benefit from:

• High-speed scanning
• Automatic document feeding
• MICR reading
• Front and rear image capture
• Endorsement printing
• High daily duty cycles
• Integration with compatible banking software

Check Scanners for Businesses

Businesses that receive checks as payment can use commercial check scanners to streamline their accounts receivable and deposit processes.

A desktop MICR check scanner can help reduce manual entry, improve check image quality, and make it easier to organize and process incoming payments.

Check 21 & Check Imaging

The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) allows financial institutions to use electronic check images for clearing and processing.

However, Check 21 compliance is not simply determined by the scanner itself. The complete processing system—including the scanner, software, financial institution, and applicable procedures—must meet the requirements of the particular workflow.

Before purchasing a scanner for a specific banking or RDC application, verify compatibility with your bank or software provider.

Single-Feed vs. Automatic-Feed Check Scanners

Single-Feed Check Scanners

Single-feed models require checks to be inserted individually. They are often a good choice for smaller businesses or applications that process a relatively low number of checks.

Automatic-Feed Check Scanners

Automatic-feed models allow multiple checks to be loaded into a feeder and scanned continuously. These models are better suited for businesses and financial institutions processing larger volumes.

Actual feeder capacity and scanning speed vary by model.
