On the Vault menu, select Scan Document. If you installed a TWAIN-compatible scanner, you may be prompted to select a source. Select the appropriate source and continue. The document image is obtained from the scanner device manager and processed by the Meridian scanner driver into a raster file using the current Meridian scanner options.
Meridian detects the file extension of the raster file and assigns the document type associated with the file extension. If the file extension is associated with more than one document type, a dialog listing the associated document types appears. If a scope is active, document types that are not enabled for that scope will not appear for selection. Select the document you want applied to the raster file.
If the document type of the raster file has property pages associated with it, they will appear next for you to type any known information. Complete each property page and click Next or Finish. Meridian creates a new document for the raster file and places it in the current folder or in the folder calculated by the Field-Path definition of the vault configuration.
If the document type of the raster file performs automatic document naming, Meridian assigns a calculated name to the new document. If not, a default document name is assigned that you may overwrite with any name you want.
