If the document was imported through Print Import software, there may also be an
associated text file containing the actual text found in the document. DocSTAR Software
will use this text to index the document as well. DocSTAR software is responsible for
converting the file format (.tif, .jpg, .dcx, .pcx, .bmp) of the image file(s) in the Import
directory to one of DocSTAR’s native file formats, .tif (for b&w) or .jpg (for grayscale and
color). Once the documents have been imported successfully, the image files and all
other related files with the same name but different file extension will be removed from the
Import directory and their entry in the Import Database will be deleted.
DocSTAR Print Import Software
DocSTAR Print Import Software is used to ‘print’ documents directly into the DocSTAR
Inbox from most Windows applications that can print to a Windows printer. Applications
that use Terminal Emulation, usually do not work with DocSTAR Print Import due to the
fact that they cannot print to Windows printers, instead they must have special printers set
up in the application. Upon installation of DocSTAR Print Import, you will see two new
printers in the Windows ‘Printers’ folder. One printer is the DocSTAR B&W Print Import
Driver and the other printer is the DocSTAR Color Print Import Driver. As shown below:
When ‘printing’ documents to the Print Import Driver, documents are not actually printed.
Documents are captured as image files, with random filenames, and placed into the
DocSTAR Import directory. A new entry is also made into the Import database. There is
also an option to print a document and ‘Save Text’ for indexing purposes in DocSTAR.
When this option is selected, a .txt file will also be created and placed into the Import
directory. The following window appears when a document is printed to DocSTAR Print
Import.
*Note: DocSTAR Print Import can be installed on Windows 9x, ME, NT, and 2000.
