The SmartSource Expert Elite represents the state of the art in teller capture scanners, capable of operating either as a standard USB-connected scanner or as a network device. Backed by Digital Check’s extensive experience working with virtual branch environments, it is the Secure Choice® certified with most major core systems providers.
As an “embedded” network device, The Expert Elite contains a processor and API inside the scanner itself for maximum ease of use. This multi-feed check scanner delivers faster speeds and higher capacity for high-volume teller capture environments.
The Expert Elite combines all the best features of the SmartSource Elite and TellerScan product lines, making it our most advanced model ever for the teller window. See below for details.
Now you can have one scanner that works in almost any operating environment.
The Expert Elite with SimpleSwitch can change between USB and network operation with a simple button-press sequence and restart.
SimpleSwitch gives you the peace of mind that your scanner is future-proofed against network changes, and it won’t need to be replaced if your environment is updated!

The critical intelligence to drive and control the SmartSource Expert Elite is all contained within the device itself, making it simple to operate on nearly any kind of network environment. Digital Check’s SecureLink 2.0 API uses a streamlined set of commands designed for network protocols, so that the scanner can be controlled by nearly any device that can run a web browser.
It does not matter whether you are using a Windows PC, an Android or Apple tablet, or a virtual environment with “thin-client” workstations — the Expert Elite will run smoothly and independently, regardless of your local network configuration. It can be located and addressed easily by all approved devices.
Network-enablement is the direction in which more and more banks are moving – it is the direction of the branch of the future. Digital Check’s Expert Elite is the check scanner built for that networked branch environment. Digital Check’s SecureLink 2.0 API allows you to connect to your scanner and our ReceiptNOW thermal receipt printer whether you are on a Windows, Linux, or any other network operating system.
It might not be the most obvious issue, but even a single check scanner running at full speed can put serious bandwidth pressure on a virtual environment. Raw uncompressed check images can be 2-3 MB each — so a device scanning at 150 documents per minute can displace half a gigabyte of data per minute. If the raw images are being sent straight out to the server before processing, that is enough data to nearly saturate a 100 Mbps broadband connection.
The Expert Elite handles all image processing, cleanup, MICR processing, and image compression with its onboard processor, reducing the file sizes by as much as 99%. Your scanners can operate faster, and without causing a network bottleneck.
Elite series scanners come with an automated cleaning mode to help you with the maintenance of your device. Cleaning mode can be activated by pressing the “SMART” LED button three times, and the scanner automatically scrubs the cleaning card back and forth against key components. This reduces the possibility for operator error, and ensures the device is thoroughly cleaned. The LED indicator also reminds you when it is time for maintenance.

The Expert Elite has a secondary path for driver’s licenses and ID cards, opening up a whole new realm of possibilities. From reading security features, to auto-populating data, to customer recognition and KYC compliance initiatives, the Expert Elite can deliver the high-quality images you need.
Since many of the smaller machine-readable features on driver’s licenses — such as bar codes and microprinting — require a high-resolution image, the Expert Elite scans ID cards 600 dpi full color.
If you are considering a change to your branch environment, but your hardware replacement schedule does not line up with that exactly, the Expert Elite gives you the flexibility to move ahead at your own pace. It has both a USB and an Ethernet port, and the network intelligence to work in a virtual environment — kept “dormant” until you need it. It can change from USB to network mode and switch between APIs with the push of a button, no hardware updates or firmware changes needed! Click to learn more.
The ReceiptNOW® Elite teller receipt printer is designed to work with all Elite series scanners, including the Expert Elite. The modular thermal printer sits underneath the scanner and saves valuable counter space at your teller stations. It is also available in a network-ready model, with dual Ethernet ports for “chaining” it on the same wired connection as the scanner.
The Expert Elite supports the Ethernet over USB network protocol with Windows and some macOS X versions. It is capable of emulating an Ethernet connection so that it can receive the same browser-based command sets over a standard USB connection. So, if you don’t have an Ethernet connection available, you can still have the benefits of SecureLink 2.0 and a network connection between the scanner and USB-connected workstation.
Linn Area Credit Union is a local institution with six branches in and around Cedar Rapids, Iowa. You might think that complex IT projects would be daunting for a financial institution of that size — but LACU has been operating a virtual branch environment for years with its own in-house team, and recently underwent a major core system overhaul as well. They chose the SmartSource Expert Elite for its versatility and proven network reliability. This is a must-read story for any local banks or credit unions that are weighing whether a move to virtual branch networks and teller stations are the right move for them. Read More >>
ID Card Image Capture
Besides its networking experience, Linn Area CU has also been using ID card image capture at the teller station for quite some time. With the core system update, they also switched to the Expert Elite’s built-in ID scanning function to simplify their workflow. We talk about what was involved in the change, as well as the potential that scanned ID card images hold for future security and Know Your Customer initiatives…
