Digital Paper and Form
|
| Q |
What is the difference between digital paper and
regular paper? |
| A |
Digital paper looks and feels like regular paper. The
difference lies in a special pattern of tiny printed dots that give
digital paper its ability to capture handwriting. |
| |
| Q |
How does using digital paper compare with writing
on a Tablet PC? |
| A |
Digital paper and Tablet PCs each enable handwritten
data entry. Whereas Tablet PCs accomplish this by sensing a stylus
on the screen of a portable PC, digital paper records handwriting
on regular paper - making it well suited for many applications that
currently use paper forms.. Both technologies allow data to be quickly
received, authenticated, and integrated with other information systems.
While the significantly more expensive tablet PCs excel at interactivity
The relative strengths of digital paper are familiarity, ease of use
and low cost. |
| |
| Q |
Why should I consider digital paper when I am trying
move away from using paper forms? |
| A |
Paper still has its place, even in a world of seemingly
ubiquitous access to computer technology. The familiarity and flexibility
of paper continue to make it a dominant means of collecting information.
Digital paper simply makes paper more powerful by automating the way
that paper records can be received and processed, allowing data from
paper forms to automatically be integrated into information systems
without manual re-entry. Additionally, there are areas of business
where for process or legal reasons paper must be used - here DP&P
combines the traditional paper-based approach with digital data input.

| |
| Q |
What does it cost to use digital forms? |
| A |
Intelliscan can quickly assess your particular needs
and provide and an upfront and recurring cost schedule for your DP&P
solution. Costs vary depending on number and complexity of individual
forms and the number of pen/users in the system. |
| |
| Q |
Can I print digital paper forms myself or save them
to my computer? |
| A |
Yes. digital forms can be printed from any software
package capable of printing PNG (portable network graphics) files
- although there are printer and ink specification requirements to
be considered. Intelliscan can provide competitive form printing for
all business requirements. |
| |
| Q |
Is there a limit to how many forms I can use? |
| A |
There is no limit to the number digital forms you can
use, nor is there a limit to the different types of forms that you
can implement. |
| |
| Q |
How do I create new digital forms if I want to replace
my old forms? |
| A |
The process for creating a new form starts with the
submission of an existing form and an accompanying form definition
template. Following your approval of a draft form, which would be
a re-creation of your current version of the form complete with any
changes or updates that you may require, Intelliscan would organise
the printing of the form on the digital paper. Once ready your new
digital forms will be shipped to you. |
| |
| Q |
How do I change an existing digital form? |
| A |
Changes to a digital form will result in the creation
of a new digital form from Intelliscan. The new forms are printed
with a new dot pattern to avoid potential conflict with any prior
forms that remain in service. |
| |
| Q |
How long does it take to get a digital form designed
and running? |
| A |
Design of a new digital form can vary depending on form
complexity and is therefore scheduled at the time an order is submitted.
Projects are usually completed and digital forms shipped within 10
working days of your approval of the form. |
| |
| Q |
How do I get more digital forms? |
| A |
Orders for digital forms can be ordered by contacting
Intelliscan on ??? |
| |
| Q |
Do I need to keep a digital paper form once it has
been used? |
| A |
There is no requirement to keep a digital paper form
once it has been used. All the information required to reproduce a
digital replica of the form are recorded in the digital pen. Many
users choose to keep the paper form as a hardcopy - often for audit
or legal signature purposes. |
| |
| Q |
Can I use duplicate or triplicate forms with digital
paper? |
| A |
Yes. A digital paper form is written upon with the ball-point
ink cartidge of a digital pen. Duplicate or triplicate pages that
are attached to a digital paper will function as if they were being
used in conjunction with a regular pen and paper form. In some cases
the need for additional copies can be reduced with digital paper due
to the fact that an electronic replica of the form can now be distributed
or retained for record keeping purposes. |
