Scanning documents

FileCabinet CS requires a TWAIN or WIA driver to allow scanning documents. Before attempting to scan into FileCabinet CS verify that your scanner has a TWAIN compliant scanner and that it is installed on the workstation you are attempting to scan at.

Modifying scanning options

  1. Choose
    Image
     >
    Scan
    .
  2. Select the Options button.
  3. The
    Reduce Image Size on Disk
     checkbox will save disk space by saving the scanned image at a smaller size.
    • To optimize for black and white documents, click the
      Black and White Pages
       option.
    • To optimize for color documents, click the
      Color Pages
       option.
  4. Certain scanner drivers invert colors when you scan pages into FileCabinet CS, showing white text on black background. Mark the
    Invert colors
     checkbox to invert colors and reverse this effect.
  5. Select OK

    note
    If you are using DT FileCabinet in a DT Virtual Office environment, you must use a TWAIN-compliant scanner.

    Drawer ID
     drop-down list, choose the drawer in which you will store the scanned pages.
    note
    To store scanned pages in more than one drawer, choose
    << Select multiple drawers >>
     from the
    Drawer ID
     drop-down list to open a dialog in which you can select multiple drawers.
  5. To add the scanned pages to an image group in the selected drawers, enter the image group name in the
    Image Group
     field, or choose an image group from the drop-down list. To create a new image group, enter a name for the new image group in this field.
  6. To add a description to the scanned pages, choose one of the following items from the
    applied to
     field in the Keywords for searching and annotation section.
    • Keywords for searching:
       Choose this item to include the description when performing searches.
    • Keywords and all pages text annotation:
       Choose this item to include the description in searches and to add the description as a text annotation on all pages of a multiple-page scanned image.
    • Keywords and first page text annotation:
       Choose this item to include the description in searches and to add the description as a text annotation only on the first page of a multiple-page scanned image.
      note
      When you enter text in the Keywords for searching and annotation pane, DT FileCabinet selects
      Keywords for searching
       in the
      applied to
       field.
  7. Select the Scan button to begin scanning. To scan another page or a group of pages, click the Another button.
