Why NCR?
As competition in the financial services
industry intensifies, it is increasingly
important to attract and retain profitable customers. At the same time,
improving the overall efficiency and
productivity of your operation is equally
important. To achieve these two critical
objectives, you need a partner who
knows the banking industry and can
provide a comprehensive array of item
processing solutions—including imaging.
With over 75 years of experience,
NCR has grown to become the world’s
foremost provider of image-based,
item processing solutions. With over
400 image item processing sites in
operation worldwide, our systems have
imaged more than 5.3 billion items to
date...and counting.
The 7731 makes affordable imaging
technology available to the low-volume
F EAT U R E S
environment. However, as the point
of capture for valuable second source
information, the 7731 is also an
integral component in NCR’s
high-volume processing solution—
ImageMarkTM POD. NCR, through
its entire line-up of top quality image
item processing solutions, is your best
choice. The right products and services,
at the right price, when and where you
need them.
7731
Flexible Configurations
BENEFITS
From a teller station unit to a complete
image-enabled proof and encode system for
back office processing—the 7731 can be field
upgraded quickly and cost effectively to meet
the changing demands of your operation.
Reliable Technology
Completely designed and built by NCR, the
7731 provides high-quality imaging and bestin-class encoding technology.
Affordable Imaging
Not only will you have the image to use to
provide revenue generating services to your
customers, but you can minimize the travel of
paper, reduce the chance of error, and enhance
overall operational efficiency.
T
he 7731 is designed primarily
as an imaging solution for low-volume,
branch-level processing environments.
While it is very productive in a front
office configuration such as at a teller
station, it is also highly effective in the
low-volume back office environment.
The compact 7731 utilizes stateof-the-art thermal encoding, ink jet
printing, magnetic card reading and
advanced optical character recognition
for MICR and OCR fonts. Connected
to virtually any standard PC and running on NCR’s own reliable software
tailored to meet your needs, the 7731
will help you transition your front or
back office to imaging technology with
minimal disruption to your productivity
and overall efficiency.
Flexible
To ensure maximum application flexibility, an NT-based common operating
environment—Windows Integrated
Services Environment for Item
Processing (WiseIP) is available
on the 7731. Combined with NCR’s
Enhanced Item Processing Software
and/or a third party application, the
7731 can be upgraded to a complete
image-enabled “proof and encode”
document processing system. Branch
server connection across the LAN
network ensures that captured data
and images are accessible and easily
retrieved from different locations.
The optional Automatic Document
Feeder increases processing capacity
to approximately 750 documents and
allows single document insertion using
the Power Hand Drop. Your operator
can load the hopper and move on to
other tasks. Choose from a 3, 6, or
12 pocket configuration to expand
the sorting capacity of your processing
system, and further enhance operator
productivity and efficiency.
As you discover new ways to
capitalize on imaging technology, the
7731 can be field upgraded quickly
and cost effectively to meet the
changing demands of your operation.
Reliable
The 7731 is completely designed and
built by NCR, an acknowledged leader
in the field of image item processing
technology. While providing all the
benefits of this advanced technology,
the 7731 is surprisingly simple to
install, program, operate and maintain.
Perhaps more important, it is a
low-risk, point-of-entry opportunity
into a future based entirely on
imaging technology.
Flexible ... Re
liable
Affordable Imaging
Imaging technology is the key to
reducing the amount and travel of
paper. This technology provides more
efficient short and long term document archival and can eliminate the
need for microfilm storage.
Strictly an image item processor, the
7731 is yet another way NCR makes
imaging technology an affordable
alternative in a low-volume environment. Front image capture is standard
on the 7731 and rear image capture
is available as an optional feature.
Image transfer to the PC controller
is fast, efficient and error free.
Turn Imaging Into Revenue... One
of the easiest ways to capitalize on
image processing technology is to
offer a variety of new customer services which can generate revenue for
your business. For checking account
customers, these services include
image statements. A few pages of
crisp, clear, laser-printed images are
an attractive alternative to receiving
stacks of processed checks.
For more technologically advanced
corporate customers, checks and statements can be delivered in a variety of
ways: on CD-ROM or magnetic media,
via LAN or WAN, or over the Internet.
Choice of Features
The 7731 can be quickly and easily
configured or upgraded to address
the varied processing requirements
of the low-volume front or back office
environments. Choose from the features
listed below to customize the 7731 to
meet your front or back office needs.
For example, add a magnetic card
reader and ink jet endorser to stream-
line teller station processing;
or, add an automatic document feeder
and extra pockets to optimize your
back office item processing.
Document Feeding
As a teller station unit, the 7731
is configured with a single document
entry extension that guides individual,
hand-fed items into the processor.
... Affo
rdable Imagin
g
The 7731 system also offers two
document feeders that can process
a variety of items individually or in
batches. The Power Hand Drop, added
to ensure the best possible perfomance
and throughput, positions and feeds
individual documents for correct,
consistent feeding. The Automatic
Document Feeder, with all of the same
benefits plus approximately 750 document capacity, allows the operator to
perform other important tasks while
the system is running.
Reading
The 7731 can optically read over nine
standard MICR and OCR code line
fonts in any zone of a document. This
flexibility allows the 7731 to process a
variety of documents and transactions,
and eliminate both specialized
hardware and software processes.
For the front office teller station, an
optional magnetic card reader, which
is located on top of the 7731, allows
easy operator access and eliminates
the need for a “space-consuming”
stand alone card reader. It also
reduces operator keying and provides
added security.
Imaging
Front image capture is standard on
the 7731 and rear image capture is
available as an optional feature. In a
single pass, the 7731 provides a high
quality image at 200 dpi in black and
white and/or 100 dpi resolution in
16 levels of gray. A red-light camera,
for improved reading of documents
with red outlines, or a color-balancedlight camera, for improved reading of
documents with red ink, may be added.
Encoding
Using quiet thermal transfer
technology, the 7731 provides the
best-in-class encoding functionality
that can encode one of four standard
MICR and OCR fonts in one pass at
30 dpm. Additional fonts can be downloaded from the host application to
encode a variety of document types.
Ink Jet Endorsing and Printing
To simplify the printing process for the
front office, the 7731 offers optional
programmable ink jet endorsers that
print text and graphics at 100 dpi
anywhere on the document. Tellers
can endorse items and print forms,
such as receipts, deposit tickets, and
even certified checks. Print fonts are
programmable and each endorsement
can be altered from document to
document as your needs dictate. The
standard model offers you the choice
of front or rear endorsing—and
you can upgrade later to both front
and rear.
Dot Matrix Endorsing
When configured with optional
multi-pocket modules for back office
processing, the 7731 provides dot
matrix endorsement technology as
part of the sorting operation. The
programmable endorser can print
up to 40 characters on a single line,
in a fixed position, on the rear of the
document. This lower cost technology
offers the benefit of increased
throughput. Front and rear endorsement stamps are also available.
Sorting
For a teller station unit, the 7731 is
configured with a single document exit
extension. For higher volume needs,
it can be expanded to include dual
pockets that hold approximately 100
documents each.
For the back office environment,
the 7731 can be expanded to include
multi-pocket modules. These modules,
available in 3, 6, or 12 pocket
configurations, provide built-in
endorser technology and “pocket-full”
sensor detection functionality. With
an individual pocket capacity of
approximately 250 documents and
the option to add more pockets, the
sorting function has been designed
to maximize operator efficiency.
