By maintaining the integrity of normal pen and paper practice, the form image itself along with the data from the pen strokes can be extracted in real time and transmitted as an xml data source. It is highly secure, easy to use and at the end of the day, it’s still pen and paper, but the inherent technology provides real time digital solutions resulting in reduced administrative redundancies

The pen records the coordinates of pen movements along the dot pattern and transmits the data via a Bluetooth connection with a cell phone or by a USB cradle docking station.

Many solutions providers have attempted to answer the question of “how do I streamline day-to-day paperwork processes without disrupting the simplicity of using ordinary pen and paper? Many service-oriented firms have sought to acquire a cost reducing solution that would improve paper workflows without disrupting the day-to-day practices that typically result in high redundancies. The challenge to date has been addressed by introducing mobile tools such as laptops into the day-to-day workflow, however, this has been rejected by many as an intrusion to the person-to-person contact necessary to create and maintain customer relationships. As a result, much of the paper redundancies remain consistent, as the paperwork challenge remains unanswered.

 Headway Technology has long been regarded by the industry as the most effective technical distributor, specialising in the data and document management market. Headway's trusted reputation has been born out of an exceptional heritage for delivering succesful application driven solutions, designed to fully address a business issue or requirement. By operating as a manufactures' representative for the leading brands, Headway works closely with re-sellers and their end users, applying the best technologies and product features where they're most needed.

Scanning – Headway offer only the very best range of scanners for distributed capture through to high end centralized scanning from leading manufacturers including Böwe Bell + Howell, Canon, Kliendienst, Kodak, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Visioneer.The initial decision of colour or bi-tonal will have significant impact when choosing the preferred resolution, it is best to go for the minimum that your particular application dictates. Generally, the higher the resolution that a scanner scans at, the slower it will go. If a scan head has to scan 400 lines in every inch (400 dpi) it will take longer than it does to scan 200 lines to the inch (200 dpi). The other consideration is the storage space required for these images. Storage overheads are dependant on the resolution of the image - doubling the resolution quadruples the file size. As a general rule, for most bi-tonal applications, with the exception of ICR, a resolution of 200 dpi is quite adequate. The resolution required by most ICR packages is 300 dpi.

When choosing a scanner the most important considerations are paper handling, image quality and speed. The thickness, sizes, edges and surface finish of your documents affect paper handling, and there are a variety of mechanisms available to suit different document combinations. These range from Automatic Document Feeders with capacities of up to 1,000 pages and advanced double feed detection to flatbed units for fragile documents or books.

Any scanner will give a good crisp image from a clean black and white original but real documents, such as forms, invoices and correspondence, which feature coloured backgrounds, text ranging from dot matrix printers to handprint in a variety of colours and effects, like highlighter pens, require more sophisticated technology. “Perfect Page with iThresholding” from Kodak, “Virtual ReScan (VRS)” from Kofax, are designed to make scanning such documents easy by automatically adjusting the contrast and thresholds as required. These technologies also automatically de-skew the image of any document that was scanned slightly skewed and then crop to the size of the original paper document.

In the early document management systems all images were captured as a bitonal image (black & white) but modern systems now offer colour as it is easier for the user to recognise an image that looks like the original paper document. Nearly all scanners today are colour capable and are available across the price and performance range from all of the leading manufacturers
