Canon increases payment processing security with new UV check scanner

Canon Middle East, a world-leader in imaging solutions, today launches the imageFORMULA CR-190i UV check scanner with the capability to capture UV ink. The new device gives retailers, banks and financial institutions the ability to identify fraudulent documents and ensure payments are processed with greater security.
The new imageFORMULA CR-190i UV is equipped with both a traditional RGB light source and a UV light source. It captures standard and UV images, such as company logos or other proofs of authenticity printed with UV inks, in a single pass to help avoid counterfeit checks being processed.
The imageFORMULA CR-190i UV also improves fraud detection by helping to detect if any details or sensitive areas of a check have been tampered with. This can equally be applied to the processing of vouchers and coupons, where check scanners are often used.
Hendrik Verbrugghe, marketing director, Canon Middle East, said: “With almost two-thirds of organizations worldwide having experienced payment fraud and 87 percent of those stating that checks were involved, these businesses require cutting-edge technology that helps them to verify check payments and process them securely. Canon’s new imageFORMULA CR-190i UV meets this demand through its capability to capture UV inks, helping to protect organizations against fraud.”
Extending Canon’s range of check scanners, the new CR-190i UV is one of the fastest compact check scanners on the market processing up to 190 checks per minute (160cpm in UV scan mode).
The CR-190i UV includes innovative document handling technology and advanced image processing tools for accurate and efficient scanning.
