Introduction to the CR-L1
This chapter describes the features of the CR-L1 scanner, what comes
packaged in the box, and the names and functions of parts on the scanner.
The Canon Check Reader CR-L1 is a scanner with magnetic heads that can
read checks and other documents that are printed with MICR (Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition) compatible fonts, and is capable of OCR (Optical
Character Recognition).

A magnetic head is used to scan MICR characters that have been printed with

Character images, such as E13B, OCR-A, OCR-B, and check writer are
recognized as characters by the OCR function.

CR-L1 UV can scan images that are printed with UV fluorescent ink.
This function only scans the front side of documents.

Maintenance Covers make handling paper jams and cleaning easy.
Paper Thickness Adjustment Mechanism

Imprinter Is Standard Equipment
An imprinter mechanism, which prints text on documents as they are scanned,
comes standard equipped with the scanner. The imprinter’s ink cartridge is not
included, and must be purchased separately. (See “About the Ink Cartridge,”
on p. 16.)
