back of form). The scanner is capable of rear exit single pass stacking of at least 10 checks, and images
standard 256 bit gray scale @ 200DPI imaging. Image compression is CCITT G4 (black/white) or JPEG
(grayscale). The 6100 Series Scanner also has an optional MICR reader and form defacing stamp. USB
2.0 interface comes as the standard interface.
The MICR reader is in-line with the image scanner with on-board rmware decoding of E13B MICR char-
acters. Comes Standard with 32MB of DRAM memory upgradeable to a maximum of 64MB and super fast
document processing speed of 10 inches per second.

Installing the Driver
Windows XP, 2000, Vista Drivers
1.Download the 6100 USB driver from the Pertech Website. Unzip the le to a directory of your choosing . Make a
note of this location. (Silver Bullet users can skip this step and install the Silver Bullet software.)
2.Next, plug in the 6100 into the host computer’s USB 2.0 bus and power up the unit.
When the 6100 Check Scanner is plugged into a USB port for the rst time, Windows XP
will automatically start the “New Hardware Wizard”. Follow the instructions of the hardware
wizard, Browse to the directory where the unzipped 6100 driver les are located. (Silver Bullet users will auto-
matically nd the driver les.
3.Windows will give a message that the driver is not signed, click “Continue Anyway” to install the driver.
Note that this also installs a WIA class device for the 6100, but the check scanner cannot be used in this manner.
Running the scanner requires writing an application that accesses it
through the supplied PertechAPI.
Note, driver installation for Silver Bullet models is done as part of the Silver Bullet Software installation. See Silver
Bullet documentation for additional instructions regarding Silver Bullet software.
Hardware and Software Requirements
USB 2.0
Windows XP, 2000, Vista, or 7 Operating System. Pentium 4, 256MB RAM or higher recomended.
Windows drivers / SDK /Application Program Interface are available off the Pertech web site. The 6100 Scanner
can be purchased with Silver Bullet Technology plug and play capability.

Operating the Scanner
Typical Form Handling
The 6100 teller scanner handles forms between 2 and 3.67
inches wide and 3.2 to 8.75 inches in length. The scanner will handle thicknesses between #16 to #32
(3.0 to 7.5 mills; .032" for ID Cards), with rear exit single pass stacking of a of 10 checks. The unit has a
in-line MICR reader with on board software for decoding E13B MICR characters
To load a form into the scanner insert the form justied to the right, face down with the
MICR line to the right side of the scanner.
MICR Line
Check face down with
MICR Line to Right side
Typical Form Scanning Process
The application software calls for the user to insert a form
into the scanner. The Green Power On LED begins blinking
to indicate that the scanner is waiting for a form.
There are two sensors (#8,#9) identied in the Features Iden-
tication on page 3. The rst sensor tells the scanner that a
form is present, activates feed the motor and draws the form
into the scanner.
The second sensor, if activated, passes the form through to
the imaging heads and MICR reader and ejects the form out
the back of the scanner onto the Exit Tray.
If the second sensor does not activate, as in the case of a
inserted form being skewed, the user will need to realign the
form with the right side of the scanner Entrance Tray before
feeding the form.

Pertech 220350A 7
ID Card Scanning Process
The application software calls for the user to insert a ID card into the scanner, the Green Power On LED
begins blinking to indicates that the scanner is waiting for a ID card.
There are two sensors (#7) identied in the Features Identication on page 3. The rst sensor tells the
scanner that a ID card is present, activates feed the motor and draws the ID card into the scanner.
The second sensor if activated passes the ID card through to the imaging heads and ejects it out the ID card
Exit Path (#2 on the bottom image of the Features Identication) in the back of the scanner.

There is no customer maintenance required for the 6100 scanners. However, scanners gather paper dust
and other debris through normal use, continued accumulation can eventually lead to imaging issues. A
general preventive maintenance program can help reduce unnecessary failures and downtime. Pertech
recommends that you occasionally clean lint and paper dust out of the scanner using low pressure canned
air. It is recommended that this be done on a regular basis, such as once a month. Clean the cabinet as
needed to remove nger marks and dust. Use any household cleaner designed for plastics, but test it rst
on a small, inconspicuous area. Additionally, contact sensors should be cleaned with an approved Pertech
Cleaning Wipe.
Caution: Do not spray or try to clean the Contact Imaging Sensors (CIS) or the inside of the scanner with
any kind of cleaner other than what is recomended. This may damage the CIS or the electronics.
Preventive Maintenance
Clearing Jams
If a jam occurs the paper path can be accessed simply by opening the cover. Access to the full
paper path allows the user to remove the jam without the hassle of trying to wiggle, pry, or eject
the form. When clearing a jam clear the paper path of any documents, paper dust etc.... make
sure rollers are free of debris. Close cover to resume operation
.
Feed Issues
If the document is not being grabbed by the rst roller check to see if the form alignment is cor-
rectly aligned with the sensor on the right side of the entrance tray. If alignment is OK and form
still will not feed, open the 6100 Scanner cover and check for paper or debris and remove.( See
preventive maintenance section in this manual. )
