form processing
Getting it right when time and accuracy is of the essence
In some cases what you really need is to get data off paper as quickly and accurately as possible. Often it is a question of human input in the form of handwritten text, numbers or check marks and signatures.
Response documents, such as feedback from the market, election results or census forms, contain a lot of information. Since the mission time line usually is just as important as the quality of the output data, you need true form processing capacity.
Different hardware often delivers very different results. When the form template setup is based on the computer image created in the form design software, copies that are provided by printers or faxes will most likely not provide a perfect match. Scanners may further increase the discrepancies.
The solution is Flexible Forms, a built-in option in FORMS that adjusts every part of the template to conform with the form image. Use it when image quality is good and the images vary slightly, because forms are
- printed by different printing companies
- printed on different office printers
- downloaded from the Internet and printed on personal printers
- positioned differently in the scanner or fax machine
