Powered by an embedded processor running our SecureLink 2.0 API, it offers seamless browser-based control from any connected PC or handheld device, such as tablets, smartphones, and touchscreens. This scanner is tailored for networked Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) setups or specialized branch scenarios.
Derived from the popular SmartSource Micro Elite, this compact device boasts dimensions of just 7 inches by 5 inches, akin to the size of a postcard. Despite its small footprint, it inherits all the robust features of its predecessor, including ID card capture capability and a swift scanning speed of up to 45 documents per minute. The Micro Elite stands out as a cost-effective, operating system-independent solution, perfect for thin-client workstations and virtual desktop environments.
The Smallest RDC Scanner With Embedded Network Technology
The Expert Micro Elite breaks the mold by offering robust connectivity options in a compact form factor, unlike most network check scanners tailored for teller windows. Recognizing that not all Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) users require high-speed scanners typically found in banks, it presents a single-feed solution adaptable to diverse operating environments.
Packed with the same impressive features as the Micro Elite, such as an optional inkjet endorser, automated cleaning mode, ID card capture, and a Smart LED color status indicator and control button, the Expert Micro Elite ensures versatility and ease of use. It processes documents swiftly at a rated speed of up to 45 documents per minute, maintaining efficiency even over a network connection.
Built with teller-grade components, the Micro Elite excels in durability and requires minimal maintenance, comparable to devices priced much higher. Its rated lifespan of over one million scans ensures longevity, guaranteeing reliable performance for years to come, making it a dependable asset for your RDC workflow.
While primarily designed for Remote Deposit Capture (RDC), the Micro Elite incorporates several innovative features originally developed for the teller line, enhancing its functionality.
One standout feature is the automatic cleaning mode, showcased in the accompanying video. This mode utilizes the feed mechanism’s motion to effectively “scrub” the paper track and critical components, ensuring thorough maintenance. Additionally, an LED indicator prompts users when it’s time for cleaning, ensuring optimal performance.
Similar to the Elite series models, existing Micro Elite users can access the new cleaning mode via a firmware update, ensuring compatibility and longevity. Reach out to us for further details on enabling this feature.
For users requiring ID card scanning capabilities, the Micro Elite offers a straight-through path designed to capture rigid objects like customer ID cards. Moreover, a new TWAIN interface facilitates seamless export to other programs, provided it’s supported by your bank’s deposit platform, further enhancing versatility and integration capabilities.
In a virtual environment, managing the size of files traversing your network is crucial to prevent network congestion and slowdowns. Surprisingly, the raw image file of a scanned check typically occupies 2-3 MB of data. In a traditional USB-tethered Windows setup, the workstation handles all image processing and compression. However, in a virtual environment, workstations aren’t configured for such tasks, resulting in uncompressed files being transmitted over the network, causing potential bottlenecks.
The Expert Micro Elite addresses this challenge by incorporating its own embedded processor. This enables the scanner to compress images onboard before transmitting them over the network. This simple adjustment in the order of operations significantly reduces network traffic, avoiding potential issues down the line.

The Expert Micro Elite caters to a diverse range of Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) users, from small businesses in standard PC-based setups to those with advanced IT environments or unique requirements involving device sharing and touchscreen control. Its versatility shines through its streamlined browser-based commands, enabling seamless integration with various devices.
Whether operating in a conventional PC environment or navigating specialized use cases, the Expert Micro Elite effortlessly adapts to different situations. Its flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide array of devices, making it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes and complexities seeking efficient check scanning solutions.
While not every Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) customer operates on Windows, many USB-connected scanners primarily rely on Windows-based drivers and command sets. The Expert Micro Elite distinguishes itself with its embedded API, offering a simplified interface compatible with macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and virtually any other operating system you may encounter.
This versatility ensures seamless integration across diverse platforms, allowing businesses to leverage the Expert Micro Elite’s capabilities regardless of their operating environment. Whether you’re on a traditional desktop setup or utilizing mobile devices, the scanner provides a reliable solution, eliminating compatibility concerns and streamlining operations for RDC users across various platforms.
