About scanning documents

Meridian Enterprise supports many popular engineering format and desktop scanners so that you can scan paper documents directly into a vault. This can be useful to save the disk space that would otherwise be consumed by first scanning to an intermediate file outside the vault. It can also make tracking the process of despeckling, deskewing, naming, and entering metadata for scanned images easier.

Meridian Enterprise includes device drivers for the following scanners:

The Meridian Enterprise device drivers support popular variants of the following standard raster file formats: TIFF, BMP, JPG, PNG, TGA, CALS, GTX, PCX, and DCX.

Before you begin

Prepare the scanner hardware and software before you begin scanning:

  1. Connect the scanner hardware to your computer.
  2. Install the scanner software provided by the scanner manufacturer.
  3. Test basic scanner operation using the scanner manufacturer’s software.
  4. After you have determined that basic scanner operation is successful, install the Meridian Enterprise scanner driver for your scanner by running the Meridian Enterprise Setup program.
  5. Configure the Meridian Enterprise scanner options as described in Setting general options.
