How the AS-Series Scanners Work
The AS-Series system is controlled by a single, Windows XP Professional driven PC.
The operator interacts with the system via the CertainScan software, and simply
drops documents onto the drop feeder. The system scans the items based on the
current job parameters. The scanner can capture MICR and OCR information, print
audit trails on the documents, and sort them to a specified bin.
Software
The scanner uses two software applications which control the system:
INtime Controller The INtime Controller runs in the background of the CertainScan
software and controls all machine related functions, such as monitoring sensors,
triggering gates, and turning motors on and off. The INtime Controller runs in its
own real-time operating system, called INtime. You do not need to access the
INtime controller and should never close the INtime window.
CertainScan CertainScan interfaces with the Controller and manages the non-
machine related functions performed by the scanner. The CertainScan software
provides an interface for setting up jobs, page types, and audit trails, and for running
jobs. This is the main interface with the machine.
