SECTION 1. OVERVIEW
The ImageSafe
™
Scanner is a single-feed MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) reader
and a dual-sided check scanner. In a single pass, the ImageSafe Scanner reads the MICR
characters at the bottom of a check and produces a digitized image of the entire check (front and
back). The characters and the image are then transmitted to a host device which is typically a PC.
The ImageSafe Scanner also offers an integrated MagneSafe™ secure card reader to secure card
based payment transactions by encrypting the encoded card holder date on debit, credit and gift
cards. The MagneSafe reader can be used with a magstripe card for 2-factor authentication
during web based financial transactions. The MagneSafe reader will auto-discriminate between
different card formats such as: ISO (International Standards Organization) or AAMVA
(American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators).
