Introduction
The Canon CR-50 Check Scanner is one of the newest scanners sold by Shelby Systems. With its combination
of functionality, size, and speed, the Canon CR-50 check scanner is ideal for improving check processing
efficiency at your organization. All of our new scanners offer unmatched image quality and reliability for check
capture at the first point of presentment. This document introduces some of the features of the Canon CR-50
unit and provides an overview of installation and use of the interface with Shelby v.5.
Features
Double-Sided Image Scanning
When the CR-50 check scanner detects a check MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) number, the
scanner will automatically scan both sides of the check. The endorsement side can easily be viewed in the
Shelby v.5 interface simply by clicking the image and then clicking the Next button.
Electronic Check Processing using Shelby Teller
The Canon CR-50 check scanner integrates fully with Shelby Teller. Shelby Teller is a complete, Check 21-
compatible, electronic, check processing software that fully integrates with your Shelby v.5 data. This unique
system scans and captures images of both the front and back of checks, tithing envelopes, or other financial
documents and allows you to remotely deposit those scanned monies in the bank. For more information or to
purchase Shelby Teller, contact Shelby Systems at [phone].
Precise MICR Read
The CR-50 check transport is equipped with a patented magnetic head for high precision MICR reading. It
takes MICR accuracy further by combining MICR reading with OCR processing (MOCR) for a higher level of
accuracy. These capabilities ensure high read rates that mitigate risks associated with digitizing checks.
Electronic Endorsements when using Shelby Teller
A digital endorsement message is added horizontally across the back of check images. The message is
completely customizable; you can choose any endorsement information or instructions. Using this
functionality leaves no risk of questions from the bank regarding smudged or illegible endorsements.

Inherited Cross Check Features
In addition to electronic processing using Shelby Teller, the Canon CR-50 check scanner employs a single
check-by-check feed mode which enables the unit to function similarly to the Cross Check and Cross Check
Plus systems. As with these other models, the CR-50 is used to process donations in the Contributions and
Donors & Gifts applications, process checks in the Accounts Receivable application, reconcile your bank
statement in the Bank Reconciliation application, and process apportionments in the Remittances application.

Keep in mind that you can put up to 50 checks in the feeding tray at one time.
