                     BANCTEC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

     DALLAS, TEXAS - April 21, 1998 -- BancTec, Inc. (NYSE:BTC) today reported
that 1998 first quarter earnings totaled $10.1 million, or $.46 per share
(diluted), approximately equal to $10.0 million, or $.46 per share (diluted), in
the same quarter of last year.  Revenues for the 1998 first quarter were $142.4
million, compared with $142.4 million for the same period of last year.

     In March, BancTec disclosed that first quarter results would be
approximately equal to last year's first quarter, but below the company's
earlier expectations due to lower-than-anticipated revenues in its domestic
systems integration business.

     "While our pipeline for new systems remains quite active, U.S. customers
have been slow to commit to new strategic projects,"commented Grahame N. Clark,
Jr., chairman and chief executive officer.  "Based on domestic orders booked
through the second week of April, we believe this trend will continue to limit
our rate of growth for the second quarter and full year."

     "Slower orders in the U.S. continue to be balanced in part by success in
international markets and by our rapidly growing network services business,"
Clark continued.  "This business mix should enable us to show modest revenue and
earnings growth for the second half of the year."

     As part of its ongoing stock repurchase program, BancTec bought 369,400
shares of common stock during the first quarter, and an additional 190,600
shares through April 17.  The company has repurchased 760,000 shares in total
under the 2,000,000 million share program initiated in November, 1997.

NOTE TO INVESTORS:

As of December 31, 1998, BancTec will adopt FASB 131 which requires disclosure
of business segment data in accordance with the "management approach." The
management approach is based on the way segments are organized within the
company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  In the first
quarter of 1998, BancTec completed a reorganization of its business operations
into three business units, Service & Manufacturing, Worldwide Systems and
Plexus.  TABLE 1 shows Q1 revenue by business segment as it will reported under
FASB 131.  TABLE 2 shows Q1 revenue in the format that the company has
previously provided to investors as supplemental data.  In the remaining
quarters of 1998 BancTec will provide revenue data in the segments shown in
TABLE 1.
