Type: Single-feed

Panini designed the I:Deal specifically for small businesses, so it’s an appropriate scanner to head up our RDC list. It’s the optimal combination of a low total cost of ownership and professional quality in a user-friendly package.

As a single-feed scanner, each check will need to be hand-fed, so it’s best for infrequent RDC needs (less than 20 checks a day.) With a 10-item exit pocket, the I:Deal reduces paper handling and increases scanning integrity. The RDC scanner also offers dual-sided image capture, a front-franking stamp, and MICR and OCR reading capabilities. The Panini I:Deal is an excellent check scanner for deposits in a small business setting.
