Preparing paper documents for scanning

FastDoc requires little preparation for paper documents, but processing documents runs smoother if you check a few simple things.

Procedure

To prepare paper documents for processing:

  1. Ensure that all of the documents in the batch can be separated the same way:
    1. Insert patch code separator pages for all documents in a batch when you want FastDoc to automatically separate documents for you at the separator pages.
    2. Print and use copies of the Separator.PDF file that is provided in the C:\Datacap\<appname>\Images\Input folder.
      The FastDoc patch code separator page is not exported when the document is exported.
    3. Use the Pages per Document field to automatically separate documents when all of the documents have the same number of pages.
    4. Manually identify the first page of each document in the batch.
  2. Ensure that you have all pages of all documents in the correct page number sequence.
  3. Ensure that your pages do not jam in the scanner, smooth all pages, and remove all staples and paper clips.
