The critical intelligence to drive and control the SmartSource Expert Elite is all contained within the device itself, making it simple to operate on nearly any kind of network environment. Digital Check’s SecureLink API uses a streamlined set of commands designed for network protocols, so that the scanner can be controlled by nearly any device that can run a web browser. It doesn’t matter whether you’re using a Windows PC, an Android tablet, or a virtual environment with “thin-client” workstations — the Expert Elite will run smoothly and independently, regardless of your local network configuration. It can be located and addressed easily by all approved devices. Most of the bulk-processing type branch scanners of the past have gone out of production, with parts and service becoming harder to find. The SmartSource Professional has the versatility to take on the high-volume batch scanning and sorting those machines used to do — but with size, cost, and complexity closer to a teller scanner. The Professional’s easy-maintenance design allows easy access to all replaceable components, and quick cleaning with no removal of the external covers. SmartSource scanners use the same “waffle” cleaning cards as the TellerScan product line, to remove the maximum amount of dirt and dust while cleaning hard-to-reach areas inside the scanner track. The SmartSource Professional’s Inkjet endorser can print up to four lines on the back of a cheque or money order, capturing nearly any information you need to convey.
