'Quick Check' is a new feature of both the VSC5000 and VSC4^PLUS that enables an operator to make a sequence of document examinations under a variety of fixed, pre-programmed instrument settings. The facility is designed to standardise the repetitive examination of large numbers of similar documents such as passports, ID cards or cheques, suspected of being altered or counterfeited.

Once programmed under Quick Check, the VSC5000 or VSC4^PLUS automatically adopts the mode of illumination, lamp filter, imaging filter and lens magnification appropriate to the examination task selected, minimising operator performance errors.

Each stage of a multi-task examination sequence can be initiated either manually or automatically. Under automatic operation, each instrument setting is maintained for a predetermined period of time to allow the operator to carry out the examination before moving on to the next stage. Reports may be filed for future appraisal by a supervisor or expert examiner.

The technique can save time, ensure consistency in procedure and is particularly suitable for use by technician operatives.
