Web Scanning ​

Web Scanning allows operators to capture paper documents directly into DocView Capture Web from a browser session. It provides a full-featured scanning workspace with ribbon controls, a batch tree, image preview, and configurable scan settings.

Web Scanning Workspace

Before you scan ​

  • Install the connector – the DocView Scanner Connector must be installed and running on the local workstation. It bridges the browser to the physical scanner hardware.
  • Select a batch setup – this determines how incoming work will be organised, which modules the batch will pass through, and what document types are available.
  • Check scanner connectivity – the Cloud Status ribbon tab shows whether the connector is online and the scanner is ready. Select your scanner from the dropdown list.
