Document input

Taskmaster works primarily with TIFF image files. So, the first activity in any Taskmaster workflow is to convert the documents to TIFF format and insert the documents into an input repository.

Documents can be hardcopy or electronic. If the documents are hardcopy, you must scan them and move the resulting files to the application repository. Electronic documents can come from various sources in various formats.

This tutorial examines different ways to place documents into your application for processing. You can set up a scanner for use with Taskmaster, which supports both ISIS and TWAIN scanners. For purposes of demonstration, it is assumed that you can set up a scanner with an ISIS driver attached to the computer that you are using. However, you can skip this requirement if you do not have a scanner with an ISIS driver. In that case, you can follow the virtual scanning examples.

For details about remote scanning with a TWAIN scanner, see Remote scanning.
