The ability to specify a scanner, TOPAZ device, or touchscreen device at the Document Type level allows you to use a different device to scan or markup each document that you scan/create for the selected Data Set.

For example:

When registering patients in the Emergency Room, the registrar needs to obtain a copy of the patient's driver's license, insurance card, and have the patient sign a consent form.

  • The first input button allows the registrar to scan the patient's driver's license using a desktop flatbed scanner.

  • The second input button allows the registrar to scan the patient's insurance card using a small document ADF scanner.

  • The third input button displays a template form that the user can sign using a TOPAZ signature pad or a tablet signature device.

To specify a scanner at the Document Type level:

  1. Configure Your Front Office Scanning Solution to Allow Multiple Input Buttons.
    For more information, see Configuring Input Buttons.
  2. Assign a Scanner, TOPAZ Device, or Touchscreen Device to the Document Type Button.
    1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the DocTypes element.
    2. Identify the DocType sub-element associated with the Document Type button you are configuring.
    3. Within the DocType sub-element, locate the scanner setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
    4. Depending on the device you wish to specify as the default scanner, TOPAZ device, or touchscreen device:
      • Set the scanner setting to name of the scanner you wish to set as the Document Type button's default scanner.

        For example: scanner="Panasonic KV-S1025C"

      • To specify the workstation's default TWAIN scanner as the Document Type button's default scanner, set the scanner setting to default.

      • To specify a TOPAZ device as the Document Type button's default device, set the scanner setting to TOPAZ.

      • To specify a touchscreen device (for example, a tablet) as the Document Type button's default device, set the scanner setting to touchscreen.

      Tip:

      For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's DocTypes element and its DocType sub-elements' settings, including the scanner setting, see The DocTypes Element.

    5. Save and close the configuration file.
