Canon imageFORMULA CR-120 Check Transport

The Canon imageFORMULA CR-120 Check Transport is a compact, high-performance solution designed to streamline check processing for banks, retail back offices, and small to mid-sized businesses. Built to optimize efficiency without consuming valuable desk space, this scanner combines fast, reliable duplex color scanning with an integrated magnetic swipe reader (MSR) to support a seamless end-to-end deposit workflow. Whether you handle daily deposits, remote cash handling, or back-office reconciliations, the CR-120 delivers the accuracy, speed, and reliability you need to move money and data quickly through your financial processes.

• Fast, duplex color scanning up to 120 checks per minute: The CR-120 captures both sides of each check in color in a single pass, dramatically accelerating deposit runs and reducing manual data entry. This capability is ideal for high-volume offices that must process large batches with minimal downtime, helping you meet tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy and full data capture on every item.
• Integrated magnetic swipe reader (MSR) for enhanced verification: An onboard MSR enables reading of magnetic stripe data on compatible documents, enabling faster verification, improved traceability, and streamlined reconciliation. By combining MSR with front-and-back check imaging, you can enrich your dataset for clearance, posting, and archival workflows with fewer touchpoints.
• Compact design that fits in tight spaces: The CR-120 is purpose-built to sit neatly on crowded desks, in small back offices, or behind a retail counter. Its space-saving footprint does not compromise performance, making it an attractive option for environments where desk real estate is at a premium but reliability and speed are non-negotiable.
• Durable reliability for busy environments: Designed to handle regular, high-volume use, the CR-120 employs robust feed and transport mechanisms that minimize jams and misfeeds. Its dependable imaging and consistent color capture ensure that deposits are processed smoothly, reducing interruptions and the need for re-scans or manual corrections.
• Seamless software integration and flexible workflow: The Canon imageFORMULA CR-120 supports popular imaging standards and deployment options, enabling straightforward integration with accounting, document management, and banking software. Its compatibility with TWAIN/ISIS drivers facilitates hassle-free integration into existing workflows, so you can leverage your current software stack without extensive custom development.

how to install Canon imageFORMULA CR-120 Check Transport

• Prepare your workspace: Choose a stable, flat surface near your computer, with access to a power outlet and your preferred workstation for scanning tasks. Ensure there is adequate clearance for feeding checks and for cable routing to minimize interference with other devices.
• Connect power and data cables: Plug the CR-120 into a reliable power source. Connect the transport to your computer using the recommended USB connection. If your setup requires an alternative interface, verify compatibility with your IT department or Canon support guidance.
• Install drivers and software: Obtain the latest TWAIN/ISIS drivers and any Canon imaging software from the Canon support portal or your vendor distributor. Install these components on the workstation you will use for scanning. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the driver installation, ensuring the CR-120 is recognized by the operating system.
• Configure scan settings: Open your imaging software and select the Canon imageFORMULA CR-120 as the active scanner. Set duplex color scanning, document size (e.g., checks in the standard range), resolution, and color depth per your processing requirements. If available, enable two-sided capture by default to ensure complete data collection on every item.
• Calibrate and test scan: Run a short calibration pass with sample checks to verify image quality, alignment, and data capture. Confirm that both sides appear in color and that the MSR data is readable if applicable. Make any necessary adjustments to tray alignment, feed sensitivity, or image processing options.
• Begin scanning workflow: Load deposit batches into the transport and initiate scanning from your software. Monitor for jams or misfeeds during the first runs and adjust feed speed or item alignment as needed. Regularly review the captured images to ensure legibility and data accuracy for downstream posting.
