The scanning process is straight forward, but requires some planning. To follow is the document scanning process from preparation phase to release where images are ready for access. The first phase is where the documents are organized and prepared for scanning. Any staples are removed, pages unfolded, and any other obstacles are overcome to enable safe and efficient document scanning.
Next, document scanning is engaged on one of our high speed scanners utilizing the latest document scanning software. Image enhancements such as cropping, deskew and despeckle can be included during this document scanning stage. Thus, ensuring the best possible imaged result.
Because our document scanners offer an auto color detect feature, we can scan black and white, full color or even mixed batches of documents. Indexing of the scanned images ensures that they can be easily searched for and retrieved. Indexing is essential if the images are to be imported into a document management system or searchable within the Adams Online Image Hosting repository.
This process enables us to capture and index from any area of the image including barcodes. This indexed data can be output to almost any format. Scanned images then proceed through our quality control phase which is a vital step in the process. Adams customers are assured that all work is quality checked for the best possible image output.
The final step in the document scanning process involves the transfer of all images and data to a suitable storage medium. Options of CD-R, DVD, and hard disk storage are available, or we can upload your images to our online repository for immediate access by shared users.
