UniSoft Imaging
USEasy Check Scanner Application Program Interface

UniSoft Imaging developed an easy to use, general check scanner interface to most of the popular check scanners. Using only ten function calls and less than forty parameters, one can now control scanning, ejecting, endorsing or printing, pocket selection, and many other scanner features. Some additional features can be support using ini files.

Significant Advantages include:

• Easiest General Check Scanner Interface Available for C, C++, VB.Net, or C# Programmers. Much easier to integrate than APIs available from Panini, Canon, or Digital Check Corp.
• New JNI interface that makes the same simple interface available to Java applications. In fact, the same Dymanic Link Library supports all supported development environments.
• Supports most common production check scanners. But UniSoft Imaging is always willing to support new models depending on customer needs.
• E13B and CMC7 MICR OCR available on all supported scanners.
• Best API technical Support available in the industry.
• Better images with improved edge detection thresholding algorithms.
• Example applications available in C, C++, and Java.
• MICR OCR/Verification available on all scanners to reduce MICR substitution errors and fix some MICR reads.
• Common checks and Money Orders can be profiled for better image capture rates.
• Lowest cost generic Check Scanners API in the industry.
• Exception and Error handling is simpified making it a much easy API to use.
• Supported scanners can be changed without requiring software to be re-installed.

Support Check Scanners include:

Panini	Canon	Digital Check Corp.
MyVision	CR-25	TS215
Vision X	CR-55	TS230
Vision 1	CR-120	TS240
Vision neXt	CR-150	TS500
I:Deal	CR-190	CX30
	CR-L1	SmartSource MicroElite

UniSoft Imaging is interested in supporting other scanners in the future and is willing to work with developers to support new scanners and features as needed. UniSoft Imaging wants to improve the technical support in the industry and is willing to discuss site visits and testing assistance to make long term support easier for customers.

The UniSoft Imaging USEasy Scan API is built on top of the check scanner APIs provided by the check scanner manufacturers so customers might need to set up support to get some updated low level APIs at times from the manufacturers.

Documentation and Demonstration code for C, C#, and Java is available and 10 hours of technical support comes with the standard year maintenance package. Additional hours of technical support are available for $100 per hour plus reasonable expenses if necessary. An optional socket interface is available for some programming environments.

Cost:

Inital costs are $500 for the first year support and updates, up to 10 hours of technical support, and license for upto 25 systems using the USEASY Library. A simple license agreement is required before software can be released.

Additional licenses cost $10 per computer with discounts available for orders over 500 computers.

Yearly maintenance and updates are provided for $250 per customer and $5 per computer.

Source Code Escrow will be available to all customers with current accounts.

UniSoft Imaging is will to allow some customers a 30 day evaluation period upon written request.

UniSoft Imaging is very willing to discuss pricing of software and services to provide a solution that works for all companies.
