Banks to take advantage of affordable small footprint capture device for
branch and remote capture applications
PENSACOLA, FL., June 29, 2005 - Silver Bullet Technology, Inc. announced today
that its Ranger™ Transport API product is now available for MagTek's
MICRImage check reader and scanner. This solution provides the banks a new
dimension for branch and remote capture applications enabling a proven and
affordable check scanner solution for lower volume capture sites.
"Bankers need flexibility in implementing their Check 21 capture solutions,"
said Ray Higgins, director of business development for Silver Bullet. "Ranger
allows them to mix and match hardware and software solutions to best fit the
diverse range of check volumes processed at teller or remote capture sites.
Ranger is combined with FSTC/ANSI compliant Image Quality Assurance to ensure
that only high quality images are processed."
As the industry standard, Silver Bullet's Ranger software allows customers to
use virtually any item-processing software with virtually any check-scanning
hardware. The inclusion of MagTek's MICRImage product allows banks to
incorporate this small footprint, attractively priced scanner without replacing
their current software solutions.
"We are very pleased with the growing demand for check scanning devices like
MICRImage," said Andy Deignan, MagTek's Business Unit Manager for Financial
Products. "As a US manufacturer, we have always worked hard to engineer and
manufacture high-quality, reliable products. We are pleased that Silver Bullet
recognizes the value in working with MagTek and look forward to many successful
endeavors."
The MICRImage scanner is designed to offer a robust solution
delivering high quality imaging and precise MICR reading using MagTek's
Enhanced Reading (ER) technology in a small footprint. It reads E13B and CMC7
MICR data and scans a check image in a single pass. Its attractive, ergonomic
design includes visual cues for ease of use and faster training.
MICRImage also
supports an optional 3-track Magnetic Stripe Reader that reads both ISO
standard cards and new AAMVA driver's license formats. MICRImage scans check
images in either black-and-white or grayscale, using the TIFF file format. Each
MICRImage model supports USB, Serial, and Ethernet connectivity.
