Document Scanning: Choosing the Right Equipment
How to match scanner class, resolution, throughput, and duty cycle to your document types and volume — with FADGI compliance and buy-versus-outsource guidance for records and operations leaders.
Kofax and Tungsten capture options can support document intake, classification, extraction, validation, and routing. Reynolds confirms the current product edition, licensing, supported environments, document types, languages, capture devices, target systems, connector availability, exception handling, quality checks, and acceptance criteria before recommending a design. Performance and implementation timing depend on the validated source documents and scope.
Documents arrive through different paper and electronic channels. Kofax can classify, extract, validate, and route approved content through a configured intake flow.
Configured capture workflow
Manual document processing creates costly errors, delays, and compliance risk across your organization.
Staff manually keys data from paper/PDF into systems, creating bottlenecks and errors
Incoming documents pile up faster than they can be processed and routed
Capture performance and quality controls vary by source, document type, configuration, and review process.
Documents arrive from paper, email, fax, ERP, and web—each requiring different handling
Enterprise-grade capture and automation for organizations that process thousands of documents daily
Enterprise Document Capture
Configure the 'first mile' of document processing across approved paper and electronic sources, with classification, data extraction, validation, and routing to selected business systems.
Accounts Payable Automation
Support invoice capture, PO matching, GL coding, and exception routing with rules and integrations validated for your AP process.
Production Scanning Software
Kodak Capture Pro offers quality-control, dual-stream scanning, indexing, and OCR options for compatible Kodak scanner deployments.
See how each document flows through the intelligent capture process.
Paper, email, fax, or web upload
Configured classification rules evaluate document type
Data fields extracted and checked against validation rules
Approved database checks support field validation
Selected cleaning, rotation, cropping, and deskew steps
Routes approved output to a configured destination
Kofax VRS (Virtual ReScan) can apply selected cleaning, rotation, cropping, and enhancement steps before extraction. Reynolds tests representative source documents and validates output against the project's approved quality criteria.
Configure selected background-noise, bleed-through, and artifact handling
Configure rotation and deskew rules, then test representative scans
Detects document edges and removes excess white space
Configure contrast, brightness, and sharpness against approved readability criteria
"Even if your document management system already provides scanning features, they are generally very inefficient and prone to quality control issues."
| Feature | Basic DMS Scanning | Kofax Capture |
|---|---|---|
| Document Classification | Manual folder selection | Configured classification rules |
| Data Extraction | Manual data entry | Configured OCR and extraction |
| Image Quality | As-scanned (often poor) | VRS output measured against approved criteria |
| Processing Speed | Operator-dependent | Measured on the selected system and document set |
| Validation | None or manual review | Database lookup + rule validation |
| Scalability | Single workstation | Enterprise-wide deployment |
