Introduction
The RDM EC9600i and EC9700i network series scanners, herein referred to as RDM network scanners,
provide affordable functionality in a compact, efficient design. Featuring RDM’s industry leading
Progressive MICR Method, the RDM network scanners deliver optimum magnetic (MICR) and optical
(OCR) read rates on E13B characters. Additionally, the scanners produce superior image quality to
maximize recognition rates for machine printed and hand-written characters on checks, remittances and
ID cards such as driver licenses.
With several models and feature options to choose from, RDM network scanners are an ideal fit for
payment applications such as remote deposit capture, remote lockbox, check cashing, teller capture,
branch back-counter capture, healthcare POS, retail POS, and walk-in bill payments. The scanners are
available in single-feed and auto-feed (multi-feed) models and offer a range of document throughput
options and configurations. All models include an integrated ID card imager.
Additionally, the RDM network scanners provide IP addressability over USB and Ethernet. Embedded
software enables easy plug-and-play connectivity eliminating the need for the installation of device
drivers or other utility software. The scanners can be used as a standalone device or shared network
resource that works with workstations, terminals, or mobile devices; can be used with Microsoft
Windows, Apple macOS and iOS, and Linux operating systems; and is compatible with virtual
desktop/thin client (e.g. Citrix) and virtual machines (e.g. VMware Horizon) environments.
To accommodate applications such as walk-in bill payments, the EC9600i series can be licensed for OCR
A and B font recognition capability. You can tell if your EC9600i scanner is licensed for OCR by the silver
label (see page 9) on the bottom or back of the scanner, depending on the model. All EC9700i series
scanners include recognition capability for OCR A and B, and optionally PDF 417 (for driver licenses).
Please contact your reseller for questions specific to OCR capabilities of your scanner.
