The Rheinner Group PDF Research Scanning in a Production Imaging Environment Written and Produced by The Rheinner Group The Document Capture Process 1. The first step is document preparation for scanning.
Proper preparation can eliminate numerous errors and save valuable time by avoiding rescanning.
For example, a daily capture load of 10,000 documents that must be processed within an 8 hour period so that they are available to the imaging system the next day requires that effective capture rate equal 20 ppm. Stopping the scanning process for a five minute jam repair caused by a loose staple or a stack which was inadvertently placed wrong-side down into the ADF places the scanning process off track by 100 documents. Spending more time on document preparation can eliminate much of this work slow down. However, it is unreasonable to assume that these problems will never occur and they should be considered when planning for subsystem capacity. A number of things can be done to speed up scanning.
