General (Standard)

This portion of the Options dialog box enables you to configure general customization settings.

To configure the General node

1. Select Options under File in the menu bar.

   

2. Select the General node.
3. Configure the following:
   
   
   • The temporary location for scanned images before they are stored in a Laserfiche repository. Click to browse to and select a location. Click default to restore the default location.
   • If images should be displayed as they are being scanned. This option may increase scanning duration.
   • If the Store Immediately feature should be enabled.
   • If unique names should be given to scanned documents. Give me an example.

     Example: Two documents were named using the Date token. Both documents were scanned on 1/1/08. As a result, each document is named 1/1/08 in Laserfiche Scanning. If the unique name option is enabled, the first document scanned will be named 1/1/08 and the second document will be named 1/1/08(1). The number in parentheses will increase for each additional scanned document.

     Note: Regardless of whether this option is enabled, documents sharing the name in Laserfiche Scanning will be renamed once they are stored in a Laserfiche repository.

   • Whether the first document of a new scanned batch will be automatically selected. If this is cleared, whatever is currently selected at the time of scanning will remain selected.
   • Next to Token Value, define a starting number for the Count token. Select Save Token Value to save the count whenever Laserfiche Scanning is closed (if this option is cleared, the count token will be reset to the Client's current count token value each time Laserfiche Scanning is closed).
