The Scanning Process

Page 20 - 8
Under the control of the instructions in the scan template, the Xerox
Document Centre can scan hard copy documents and create
electronic Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or Portable Document
format (PDF) files.
Using the filing information that is contained in the template, the
TIFF/PDF file or files are transferred to a document repository on
the file server. The document repository is simply a directory on the
file server.
All pages of a multi-page document are scanned prior to the job
being sent to the document repository.

After the scanned document files are sent to the file server, the user
can retrieve the files from a network workstation.
The three main steps involved in scanning a job are:
1. Scan a hard copy document at the Document Centre.
Select a scan template from the Control Panel Touch Screen and
scan the hard copy document at the Document Centre. Scan
templates define the Directory and the Document Folder on the
server where the scanned file will be stored.
