iNAME Image Archiving Overview
for Image Scanner Implementation Only

ScanTools software has scan-time image archiving that provides the following functions:

• Scan-Time Archiving - Image files are created during scanning. There is no need to archive as a separate action after scanning.
• Full Sheet Image Archiving - A single sheet with no form ID marks and/or no timing marks can be archived. To do this, your application must be defined as a single document with a single sheet. Each side of the sheet can be archived as a separate file. For details, see Archiving Single Sheets without Form ID Marks or Timing Marks.
• Integrated iNAME Configuration - iNAME image archiving can be an integral part of your ScanTools application. Image format parameters can be defined and iNAME Configuration used to define images to archive, archive directories and file names, and archive indexing. All of this is accomplished during application definition. For details, see Application Definition for Scan-Time Archiving with iNAME.
• Archive Directory Path - An image file destination location, using a Base path name and a Variable path name, can be user-defined. For details, see iNAME Configuration - Paths and Indexes Screen.
• Archive Filenames - Image filenames, using a Base filename and an optional Variable filename, can be user-defined. For details, see iNAME Configuration - Paths and Indexes Screen.
• Index Entries - Several index file formats are available and index entries can be user-defined. For details, see iNAME Configuration - Paths and Indexes Screen.
• Images to Archive - You may select which grids or whole sheet images to archive, based on all available in the ScanTools application. For details, see iNAME Configuration - Images To Archive Definition Screen.
• iNAME Merge - This post-scan process can be set up during iNAME configuration to run automatically, after scanning is completed. It lets you merge a background form image into the individual image clip files that were generated during scanning. It can perform any image rotation that may be needed. The image clip files generated during scanning do not contain the background form image, and are not rotated at scan time. It also supports image scaling to 200, 240, 300, 400, or 600 DPI. iNAME Merge can also be run manually, after scanning is completed. For details, see Using iNAME Merge.
• Application Migration - If you are using an application that was created in an earlier version of ScanTools software (DOS or Windows), it MUST be saved in the newer ScanTools format before you can use it with iNAME. For details on how this is done, see Migrating Applications From Earlier Versions of ScanTools Software.

NOTE: Online edit correction cannot be performed using iNAME scan-time archiving. Only post-scan editing can be implemented. The image clips taken during scanning will be used for post-scan editing. To ensure you have the image clips you need for post-scan editing, you should select the edit profile during scanning and use the same edit profile later during post-scan editing. If you use a different edit profile than the one used during scanning, you may not have the image clips to view in the post-scan editor. During post-scan editing, iNAME will apply any edit changes to the directory, file names, and indexes which use field data to reference the image clips.
