OPEX Corporation has has declared an end to the problem of handling “messy” documents – non-standard items including receipts, small forms and business cards - with its latest mixed document capture platform, the DS2200.

The DS2200 will handle “messy” as well as thin and damaged documents and odd sizes, in the same batch and at the same time as the uniform, “clean” documents typically associated with traditional high-speed scanners. This results in significantly less document handling and preparation time per batch.

OPEX credits the introduction of a new document feeder, unique drop feed and packet feed technologies along with an edge-aligned auto feed capability, for the DS2200’s versatility.

“OPEX introduced a revolution in scanning back in 2003 with our unique ’drop feed’ technology. It proved to be a more efficient way to capture images of real world documents because it greatly reduces, and in many cases eliminates, the ‘doc prep’ steps that add no value to the overall process”, said Mark Stevens, President and CEO of OPEX.

“With the DS2200 we now extend this revolution beyond our traditional markets of out-of-envelope remittance and payment processing to the out-of-folder document capture world, including medical records, backfile conversions, and service bureau scanning. With the DS2200, we can save you money in your image capture operation and provide an excellent return on your investment.”

The DS2200 provides scanning excellence and unique features at an exceptional value. Featuring OPEX’s industry leading CertainScan Capture Software for real-time in-line document identification and recognition, the DS2200 can identify page types and outsort envelopes, checks or patch code sheets while providing unparalleled transaction integrity and real-time quality control.

The DS2200 also allows you to scan multi-stream, perform in-line recognition of barcodes, optical character recognition (OCR), optical mark-sense recognition (OMR) and magnetic ink character recognition (MICR). When CertainScan is equipped with optional Kofax VRS technology, a variety of additional optimizations can be performed in-line including content-based rotation, background smoothing, and more.

Other notable features include fast quad-core PC controller and software-based envelope detection, and an optional integrated workstation which offers a new level of operator ergonomics, comfort, and productivity.
