Setting up your Check Scanner - Windows

This guide is to assist in the installation of a Panini Vision E scanner on a Windows device. These steps are necessary in order to use Check Scanning through Tithely.

Device Requirements

Computer

For Check Scanning to operate correctly you will need a Windows device with an updated version of Windows along with an internet connection. While the scanner is designed to work with Windows 7 and newer, it is recommended to update to the latest version as this will provide the best experience.

Check Scanner

The supported model for Check Scanning through Tithely is the Panini Vision E and this must be purchased by working with Tithely. Other devices are not supported and they should not be attempted to be used.

1. Connect your Scanner

On the back of your Check Scanner you will notice 3 ports along with the Power button:

Most customers will be using the Check Scanner in a wired configuration, which is preferred for reducing the potentials of network issues. The provided USB cable (likely a gray/white color) should be plugged in to the far right port on the Check Scanner and then connected to your computer. If you are using a USB adapter or docking station ensure that the connection is secure. If you experience any connectivity issues when using an adapter please connect the Check Scanner directly to your computer or to a powered adapter.

2. Power your Scanner

Once you have the USB cable connected, you can connect the power cord, and the press the power button. You will notice the green light flashing on the top of the scanner and then it should turn solid green. You should also hear the sound of the Check Scanner going through it’s self-check process (you will hear the motor running briefly).

Once the drivers are downloaded, you will open the file and follow the prompts to install the driver onto your computer.

4. Configure Scanner

Once the Check Scanner driver is installed, you will need to configure it to work correctly (and securely) with Tithely. To do this you will first navigate to http://192.168.101.1/ in your web browser.
