The files generated by Lnserficbe Snapshot capture the content of the <br />electronic file of the time that it was processed In other words, they represent on nccurWe portrayal of an <br />electronic file at a given point in time. The images and text created from an electronic file are then stored in a <br />Lnserficbe repository. As you con see, Lase~che Snapshot can be used ns n tool to archive a particular version of <br />an electronic file. Laterfirhe Snapshot can process any electronic file that ran be opened with a Windows <br />application Ihat has printing capabilities. <br />Distribution Piue Ins <br />• Laserficbe WebLinkT^' The WebLink module publishes select documents in a Lasertche repository to an <br />intmnet orthe Intemet inrend-only form.

Administrators con tome printed documents to have <br />Watermarks applied to them <br />Botch Processine <br />• Laseficbe Quick FieldsT^' automotes documatt sorting and indexing for reduced data entry vests anti manual <br />indexing errors. Laserf the Quick Fields is n collection of image processing and enhancement tools wrapped in <br />nn elegant anti intuitive interface. We call Quick Fields a document capture platform because it is so much more <br />than just an oftine scanning tool. Because Quick Fields was developed specificdly for Laserficbe document <br />imaging and management solutions, it offers n unique funcionnlity set designed to simplify nutomnted capture <br />and classification oC documents. In addition to working with most produc0on level scanners, Quick Fields <br />supports the Universal Cnptura plug-in and includes n powerful tool called the Lasertche Capture Engine. The <br />basic premise of the Laserficbe Capture Engine is to provide the ability to "scan" documents into Quick Fields <br />from n Lase~che repository. This fairly simple idea is extremely pmverfut became it eliminates dependence on <br />traditional scanners in order to take advantage of nutomnted image processing technology. With Quick Fields, it <br />does not matter bolo on organization images their documents. They could be scanned through n nehvorked <br />copier/scanner, automnticalty imported from a fax server or converted from an electronic format through <br />Snapshot, anti Quick Fields will process them as if they were scanned in directly. <br />• Pattern Mntchiag: The Pnttem Matching add-on looks for n specified pattem within auser-defined value. This <br />process can be rued to identify a document, validate dntq or to save the matching data along with a document. <br />The pattem that toil] be searched for is defined by the user through predefined criteria (regular expressions). A <br />regular expression looks Cor a certain pattem in n string. R can then use this pattem to look for a character or a set <br />of characters. <br />• QF Real-time look up: look up and extract data from n 3b party database, verity values extrncted from an image <br />matched values in the 3b party database <br />• QF Zone OCR: Images that contain steady printed or typed information can be converted to text files through a <br />process sailed OCA (OpUCaI Character Recognition). Once text has been exhected Crom on image, it can be sent <br />along with the image to the repository. Once the document has been imported into the repository, the extrected <br />text will be associated with the cerresponding image in the document The Intemnfional Zone OCR add-on will <br />scan n zone on on image for text Only text found within the zone will be extracted. The data returned by This <br />process con be used to identify n page, populate a field, determine rho document nnrrte, or detemdne where the <br />document will be stored. The International Zone OCR addron can be insWied when Quick Fields is first installed <br />or after it has already been insmlied. <br />• Lasertche Import Ageat: LaSerficha Tmport Agent is n capture tool Ihnt can bring files into a Laserficbe <br />repository Crom rho Windows tle system. Any file that can be stored in Laserficbe can also be imported vin <br />Import Agent. What's more, Import Agent allows for scheduled and selective imports, so that users can set up <br />specific criteria for what gets imported when. Import Agent can create fully OCRed and indexed documents, <br />complete with tempinte information and filed in the repository. <br />• QF Bar Code Recognition: The Bnr Code addron rends bar codes on nspecified page in the document The value <br />returned by the bar coda process can be used to identify n page, populate a field, determine the document name, or <br />detemdne where the document will be stared. Bnr Code is very powerful when combined with Real Timo <br />Lookup. Supported borcoda formats: Codabar, CODE 39, CODE 125, EAN 8, EAN I3, Interleaved 2 of 5, <br />UPCA, and UPCE. <br />• QF Quick Forms: permits multiple document classification, as well as include advanced enpabilities such as <br />Form recognition, form registratioq form remove! and optical mark recognition. <br />• QF Document Clossiteatloo: designed for clients who deal with multiple tome, and will recognize and process <br />multiple document types. <br />• QF AanoWton/Bates Numbering: The Bates slump option is n document Hato-numbering annotation opton <br />• Forms Processing: The Forou Processing add-on consists of four processes, which are Lase~che Form <br />Extractor, Form Identification, Laserficbe Fomr Registrnfion, and Laserficbe Optical Mmk Recognition (DMR). <br />Form Extrector removes the Inyout from nn image anti leaves data in a region specified on the page. Fonn <br />Identification identifies images according to the layout of the page. Form Registrnlion aligns images to match the <br />Inyout of the Conn. OMR detects whether a region has been marked by comparing it vvilh the same region on n <br />master Corm. This add-on can only process or recognize forms when processing black & white images. <br />Additional information is available. <br />Inteeration <br />• LF lategrator's Toolkit Toots & documentaUOn necessary for customizing Laserficbe <br />• LF Integration Express: Packaged solution for image-enabling integrations <br />• LF Integratoa E:press GIS: Simplified image-enabling integrations behveen Laserficbe and geographic <br />information systems. <br />MCCi will be happy to quote any of the above options, with the associated training expense upon your request <br />LASERFICHE SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
