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

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 |
|---|---|---|

| 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 |

Answers to the most common questions about Kofax Capture and AP Essentials.
Kofax is licensed by product tier, document/transaction volume, number of users, and deployment model (on-premise vs. cloud), so it is quoted per project rather than at a single list price. Reynolds scopes a configuration to your actual volume and processes and provides a written quote. See our pricing approach at /pricing.md or request an assessment.
Kofax Capture (now Tungsten Automation) is enterprise-grade intelligent document processing software. While basic scanner software just creates images, Kofax automatically classifies documents, extracts data using advanced OCR and machine learning, validates against databases, and routes to 140+ business applications. It transforms document capture from a manual task into an automated workflow.
Kofax captures from virtually any source: production and desktop scanners, multi-function printers (MFPs), email attachments, digital fax, web services/APIs, and monitored folders. It can even capture from print streams and mobile devices. This flexibility enables organizations to consolidate all document intake through a single platform.
Both. Kofax TotalAgility runs on-premise, in a private cloud, or as a hosted SaaS deployment, and Kofax Capture is typically deployed on-premise. The right model depends on your security, integration, and IT-staffing requirements — Reynolds helps Pennsylvania organizations choose and implement either.
They work together perfectly. Kofax handles the 'first mile' of intelligent capture—classification, OCR, data extraction, and validation. Laserfiche handles the 'last mile'—workflow routing, document management, retention, and compliance. Many Reynolds clients use Kofax Capture to feed documents into Laserfiche for superior results.
Most organizations achieve ROI within 18 months through reduced labor costs, improved accuracy, and faster processing. For AP automation specifically, organizations typically see 50% reduction in cost per invoice, 80% faster processing, and increased early payment discount capture. Reynolds provides ROI analysis as part of the assessment.
Yes. Kofax was acquired and rebranded as Tungsten Automation in 2024. The products—Kofax Capture, AP Essentials, TotalAgility—remain the same with continued development. Reynolds is a certified partner under both names and provides full support for all Kofax/Tungsten products.
Implementation timing depends on scope, document volume, integrations, validation, training, and rollout requirements. Reynolds confirms a project schedule after discovery.
Reynolds provides comprehensive training for administrators and end users, including hands-on workshops and documentation. Ongoing support includes phone/email help desk, remote troubleshooting, software updates, and periodic health checks. Our team averages 14 years of experience with document capture systems.
Yes. Kofax's advanced OCR engine can read machine print, handprint (block letters), and even cursive handwriting. The learn-by-example technology can be trained on your specific document types for improved accuracy. VRS technology also cleans and enhances images before OCR for better results.
Yes. Kofax — rebranded Tungsten Automation in 2024 — performs OCR (optical character recognition) and ICR (intelligent character recognition) as part of its intelligent document processing platform, extracting typed and handwritten data from scanned documents rather than just producing an image. That extracted data is validated against business rules and databases before routing to your line-of-business systems. Reynolds implements Kofax/Tungsten capture, including OCR-driven data extraction, for healthcare, government, and manufacturing clients.
Kofax (now Tungsten Automation) capture software is used to automate document-heavy workflows: invoice and accounts payable processing, forms processing for benefits and permit applications, HR onboarding paperwork, and claims intake in healthcare and insurance. Instead of an operator manually keying data from a scanned page, Kofax classifies the document type, extracts the relevant fields, and routes the result into the receiving business system. Reynolds configures Kofax for the specific document types and workflows your organization processes.
