Perfect for low-volume cheque scanning requirements
SmartSource® Micro Elite
The SmartSource® Micro Elite may be the perfect Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) scanner for low-volume environments, with its single-feed design and low price. The most sought-after qualities in scanners for RDC are affordability, size, and simplicity – and the Micro Elite delivers on all three fronts.
Measuring just 17.8cm by 10.6cm, the Micro Elite’s footprint on your desktop is not much bigger than a smartphone’s. And at a rated speed up to 45 documents per minute, it can handle cheques and deposit slips just as fast as you can put them in. The Micro Elite delivers a great balance of performance and price for your remote deposit capture operation.

Quality Construction

It may be a single-feed scanner, but the SmartSource Micro Elite is made to handle documents as quickly as you can put them into the feeder. At a rated speed of up to 45 documents per minute, it’s about as fast as you can get while still being a single-feed device. It also includes an optional single-line inkjet endorser. And, it contains all the enhanced features of its big brothers in the SmartSource Elite series — an automatic cleaning mode, ID card capture, and a Smart LED colour status indicator and control button.
Teller-grade components make the Micro Elite as durable and low-maintenance as many comparable devices priced twice as high. You can be sure that your scanner will be ready when you need it. With a rated lifespan of over 1 million scans, it can handle your RDC workload for years on end.
The Micro Elite SE (Serial Embedded) comes with onboard processing power to run the SmartSource API internally – meaning zero setup and maximum compatibility options for end users.
Automatic Cleaning Mode & ID Card Capture
Even though it’s an RDC scanner, the Micro Elite comes with many of the great new features we developed for branch capture.
