Document—a paper document is a collection of pages; an electronic
document is a collection of images. A document containing many pages is
called a multi-page document (e.g., a file folder or article). A document
containing only one page is called a single-page document (e.g., a check).
Initially, every document is in paper form and becomes an electronic document
after it is scanned; Capture Software gives every document a unique electronic
document number. This document number is cross-referenced with index data
that can be uploaded to any document management system.
Document index—the document index links search fields (up to 10 search
fields) with the document number of each document. The document index can
be built manually or automatically with bar codes or default values.
Image—the scanner converts sides to images. Every image belongs to a
document with a unique document number. Capture Software gives every
image a sequential number inside its document. One document can contain
up to 999999999 (i.e., essentially unlimited) images. Capture Software
distinguishes between an image coming from the front or rear side of a
page. This allows Capture Software to perform side-specific processing
(e.g., deletion of blank/rear sides) where appropriate.
Capture Software also distinguishes between color, grayscale, and bitonal
(black and white) images and can perform color/grayscale versus bitonal
specific processing.
Example: Document 250 contains two double-sided pages and produces an
electronic document number 250, which contains four images (1-4).
Page—a page is always in paper form and is part of a paper document. A
page can produce one image (single-sided page), two images (double-sided
page), or four images (dual-stream; color and bitonal) after scanning.
Side—one page has two sides, front and rear. With single-sided pages, the
rear is blank.
