INTEGRATED DOCUMENT CAPTURE at an Extraction workstation.
IDC/ME-1 with INFOPointe® production data statistics

What the IDC/ME-1 is:

This is an Image Scanning workstation for incoming mail. It is specifically designed for operations who wish to Extract/Prep individual envelope transactions and immediately image scan them as they come out of the envelope. This contrasts the usual practice of a 2-STEP process of first extracting and prepping batches of work and then separate image scanning of the pre-extracted batches. This is one of 4 different models that we offer.

This model (IDC/ME-1) does incorporate an actual mail opening and contents separation device, like our other model (IDC/ME-2).

The Image Scanner itself can handle both PAGES and CHECKS at either a 90 ppm or 120 ppm duplex transport. These 2 models do not include a MICR READER option.

This model presents an affordable ($25K less than the IDC/ME-2) and practical solution for the site that either ARC’s or CHECK 21’s their checks…and therefore don’t require ENCODING or inline outsorting of the checks as they are imaged. Archive Regulations, that suggest timely destruction of the checks, do not suggest that these checks must be shredded separately from the rest of the imaged transaction.

If the previous point applies to your intended use and your group would likely image each transaction’s respective ENVELOPE, then continue this theme on transaction quality, to include the following consideration. Our 3-Sided opening feature allows you to flatten each envelope. This in turn, means that your Image Scanner’s DOUBLES DETECTION will not be compromised to accept an envelope that has been opened on just 2-Sides; and therefore ignored as a DOUBLE FEED. Don’t be fooled by responses such as ‘the Doubles Detect knows the difference between a 2-panel envelope and a double feed of either docs or pages.’ We can demonstrate the issue for you, if necessary. The inclusion of our INK JET PRINTER can allow your Image Software to see our printed Bar Code and automatically create your transaction boundary.

So there should be no justifiable reason to outsort the checks as they are imaged. If you do need to ENCODE your CHECKS, then our IDC/ME-2 or IDC-2 models would automatically outsort your checks. Your Image Vendor will find our XML file interface with EXIT HOOKS for Batch # assignment and check quality tests infinitely friendlier towards dovetailing into your existing platform. Form ID will allow for conventional use of CHECK followed by NON-CHECK transaction boundary creation or ENVELOPE recognition for boundary creation.
