How to store a hard copy document on DMS

Solution:

Step 1. User will take the hard copy document and scan it using a good quality scanner.

Step 2. User will save that scanned document on a local system (computer) and give appropriate name which will describe the document.

Step 3. User will log in to DMS system using the URL and open the relevant folder where user wants to save the document.

Step 4. Now user will click on the add document button as shown in the below image.

Step 5. As soon as user clicks on OK that document will be successfully uploaded on the DMS.

What are the different scan settings that can be used?

We should make sure that while we done scanning of any document we should check our scanner setting to make sure that scanner is scanning and saving document in PDF Editable format.

We should avoid using the scanner setting of PDF Image file, as it is not possible to search any particular text inside that PDF file.

There are basically two different types of documents that a user might need to scan for uploading in to DMS system; Pictures and Documents.

There are two things to keep in mind when scanning:

1. RESOLUTION

2. FORMAT

Note: Scanner stores both documents and Pictures as an image. It might finally save this image in a computer image format or in PDF format based on your requirement.

Resolution

▪ Resolution involves the quality of the image. Specifically, how many dots per inch (dpi) are contained in the photo

▪ More dots per inch means more detail, larger print size, and thus a better quality photo. (This also means a larger file size, more on this below.)

▪ How much resolution your photo should have depends on what you want to do with that image once you have scanned it

▪ If your photo will not get shown on anything other than a computer monitor (for example, a web page or a PowerPoint-type presentation), you will not need a high resolution because most monitors cannot show anything higher than 120 dpi

▪ Simply adjust the scan size for how big you want the image to appear. However, if you are planning to print the graphic onto a laser printer of some kind, you will want to scan at a higher resolution, like 300-600 dpi.

▪ Remember that if you double your resolution, it gives you 4 times the number of dots and makes the file 4 times bigger and it will increase the file space by 4 times.

▪ So, we should take care while choosing the resolutions as it will save hard disk space as well as easy to upload on system

Format

▪ File size is often an issue. If you are sending images over the web, you want to keep file size to a minimum.

▪ However, if you are going to print a graphic on a printer, you would be more concerned with quality than file size.

▪ To further confuse the situation, different software programs often use different formats when working with images. For example, Microsoft products tend to use the bitmap or BMP, format in their programs

▪ Adobe products are more flexible, handling jpeg, bitmap, gif, and so on. To handle these situations, images can be saved in various file formats.

▪ The main purpose of having various formats is to add some kind of compression to keep file sizes to a minimum yet maintain the quality of the image. Some of these formats are: jpeg, gif, tiff, and bitmap

Different format that a user can choose as per their requirements

|Sr. No.|Document Type |File Format |Detail of Format |

|1 |Documents |PDF |The most common format is PDF |

| | |(Portable Document |The reason for this is the universal access to the free Acrobat Reader which permits anyone to |

| | |Format) |open a PDF. File on their PC or Mac. |

| | | |By converting paper to documents in .PDF format you make your records easily viewed and you can |

| | | |count on anyone |

| | | |You send them to by e-mail to be able to access them as well |

|2 |Image |TIFF (*.TIF) |This format is another standard among software packages |

| |Documents | |It offers very little compression, but maintains total quality of the original image |

| |Photos | |Tiffs are typically used to save an image for manipulating later, to maintain maximum quality, |

| | | |or when the image will be used for publication |

| | | |You can also edit the scanned images before saving them |

|3 |Image |JPEG (*.JPG) |Jpeg. images are the standard among most software packages |

| |Photos | |They offer the best of both worlds: compression & image quality. Some of the uses for jpeg |

| | | |images include large photographs on the web and sharing images among software |

| | | |The JPEG format lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the compression, the |

| | | |lower the image quality |

| | | |Any lost image quality data cannot be restored, and the quality deteriorates each time the data |

| | | |is saved. |

| | | |The TIFF format is recommended when modification and retouching are required |

|4 |Image |BITMAP (*.BMP) |This is a Microsoft format used mainly within Microsoft software. If you plan on using an image |

| |Photos | |in a |

| | | |Microsoft program, save it as a bitmap with the .bmp extension. Bitmaps use no compression so |

| | | |they are |

| | | |the largest file type but there is absolute image clarity |

Resolution: User can select resolution of the document as per the following table

|Sr. No. |What User will do with the scanned image |Suggested scan resolution 300 dpi (dots|

| | |per inch), |

|1 |Send via e-mail, upload to web, view only on the screen |96 to 150 dpi |

|2 |Print / user want to convert that document in to editable text |300 dpi |

|3 |Fax |200 dpi |
