Add Documents Using a Scanner

Scan documents directly into a batch using a scanner attached to your computer.

  1. Go to the Main Menu and select DM Programs > DM Scan Batch Viewer.
    The Image Batch Selection form opens, displaying the Available Image Batches grid.
  2. Select the batch you want to add documents to and click OK.
    The Batch Scan Viewer displays.
    Note: You can also create a scan batch at this step if an appropriate one does not exist. For more information, see Create a Scanned Document Batch.
  3. If scanning multi-paged documents, specify a number in the Pages Per Document field to determine the grouping of pages in a document. For example, if you are scanning a batch of two page invoices, enter 2 to set the scanning process to group pages in twos and create a separate document for each group.
    Note: Only the first page of the document displays in the viewer. All pages display if opened via the attachments window.
  4. Click the Get Images button () and select From Scanner.
    If the system detects more than one scanner, the Select Source window displays.
  5. If the Select Source window appears:
    1. Select the correct scanner from the Select Source window.
    2. Configure the scanner appropriately.
  6. Scan the documents.
    All created images display in the Batch Scan Viewer.
  7. (Optional) If you want to assign the same attachment type to each document in the batch, choose one in the Attachment Type field.
