The Model 1800 reads optical character recognition (OCR) information on remittance documents and provides means for encoding on-check journal tracking, endorsing, and sorting of accompanying check payments. The Model 1800 provides the capabilities to: read OCR and magnetic data on remittance documents, freeing the operator from manually entering information; encode; provide on-check journal tracking; endorse, and sort checks in up to 12 bins. It provides a read processing rate of up to 4,000 documents per hour and an encoding rate of up to 1,800 documents per hour. The Model 1800 utilizes feature extraction and neural network-based recognition technologies to achieve accuracy rates of over 99.99%. Price: $24,000.
