From the President of OPEX Corporation
The AS-Series offers an extremely flexible and efficient method to capturing
images and data
The AS-Series is OPEX's inaugural line of image scanner devices. Although we have
been capturing images of documents and checks with our IEM product for over 10
years, until now we have not had the ability to capture images of various size
documents. With the versatility of the AS-Series scanner, the customer has the
ability to capture the necessary information in a single touch, eliminating the prep
process associated with other scanning devices.
The AS3600i/AS3690i is either mounted to an OPEX Model 51 or Model 60 Rapid
Extraction Desk for processing mail from envelope to image. The AS3600t/AS3690t
provides a solution for scanning processes that exclude mail or remittance.
Whatever the application, the key to this process is YOU, the AS-Series OPERATOR.
We've gone to great lengths to design our equipment to be user friendly, and believe
that you will be pleased with the final result.
Thank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this
manual. We trust that you will enjoy using the AS-Series scanner and that it will
make your job more enjoyable and productive.
Sincerely,
OPEX CORPORATION
Mark Stevens
President/CEO
