Unisys Source NDP scanner 04/13

The Unisys Source NDP Network Document Processor captures images, reads codelines and endorses documents right from the desktop of your computer.  Making the scanner easy to operate was the idea of the scanner with superior document handling and image capturing.  But you know that and possibly you're looking for more info to help yourself.  There's not much data out there, but I'll briefly share some things that I have found on the unit.  Do not be afraid to take it apart.  Remove the covers and blow out the gathered dust. Remove the bottom case and do the same. Blow it out and clean the rollers.  You will also need to replace the feeder tires in feeder pocket area and keeping a good set of rollers in you tool box is a good idea too.  The scanner seems to operate smoothly in network mode.  Some models (55 - 57) have two interfaces network (Ethernet and usb) The USB mode acts a little differently, perhaps an intermittent delay.  I have found it better to have CAPI, (computer application program interface) to be up and running on the PC before you turn on / power on the scanner in USB mode.  Of course, CAPI has to be configured for USB mode, then save and then executed. But I like the network mode better, as the scanner seems to run smoother and consistent.  The diagnosic lights are a great indicator of what's going on the scanner.  Just remember the function of the traffic light. Red - yellow - green.  Of course, green means "GO" you are good to go!! blinking green is ok, scanner is ready to scan.  Yellow is caution.  Blinking yellow means the scanner is not communicating with the computer and /or could be other things as well. Caution, cautiously inspect the scanner and reseat cables.  RED means "STOP" and this not a good condition, but it's a doable condition to deal with.  First power off and on, then also try disconnecting the cable and then power off and on. A continual red light means vendor repair and many dollars.  SO remember green is go and green is good.  Yellow could be a CAPI issue, cable or connection thing or capture program.

Panini MyVisionX teller scanner 041013

Greetings fellow blog followers, I have been away from the keyboard for a while and now as I am on my designated time for approved work stoppage (break) I thought I would blog a bit today.  We have a couple of break times (10 & 3) for us, along with lunch time, which is usually taken between 12 & 2pm.  It helps to divide the day and plan a work time.  Today I am working on the Panini My Vision X teller check scanner. The 601B meaning 60 dpm, unlimited pocket and a black case. It's always good for our customers to know this for identification of the scanner, as the serial number alone is not enough.  Any info given always help. We know the area to look at with in the scanner. Also being conscience of the date it was built and volumes of scans or scan count. It has to cleaned and feeder tires replaced.  It's a been there and done that thing, but it's a doable living.  So give us a call 800.554.5482 or go to Benchmarktechnologygroup.com.

Have a great day friend,
