Scanning user interface

The scanning user interface appears when you click on any of the scan buttons. They are available on the Quick View page, the PACS order entry page, the Scheduler's Patient Edit page and the Scheduler's Order Edit page. To scan one or more documents, do the following:

Place the documents to scan in the scanner.
Click the Scan button, or the Save & Scan button. The Document scanning user interface opens.
The documents are scanned depending on the Scanner Setting Panel’s setting:
1. If configured to show the scanner manufacturer’s scanner setting panel, it appears automatically. Follow the instructions for the scanner control software. Once scanning completes the scanned images are added to the document scanning user interface for review and correction if necessary.
2. When no scanner control software is required, scanning starts automatically.
Use the scanner user interface to make adjustments, as described below.
Click Done to submit the scanned images to the server and close the user interface.

Note: The maximum number of documents that can be scanned in one session is thirty (30).

The scanning user interface consists of the following sections:

Section	Description
Tools	Image manipulation, scanning and other functions.
Thumbnails	Renderings of each scanned sheet. The section is used to select a specific image and to re-organize their order.

Settings	Image and scan settings applied to the selected study or image.

Status	Progress bar showing the scan status.

The properties of each section are described in the table below.

	Scanner setting page	Show or hide the scanner’s control panel. Some scanners require scanning be initiated from its own control panel. If you wish to modify the scanner settings such as bit depth, resolution or page size, you must use the scanner’s control panel as well. See scan settings for details.
Image	Left-click	Toggle through the available image sizes. Three sizes exist: fit to window; fit width; and full resolution.
Image	Left/Right scroll bar	When the image is larger than the available area, use the scroll bars to reposition the viewable part of the image in the image area.

When the document type setting is an Image type, you might be prompted to select some attribute values. Their defaults are configured by the system administrator. These settings are applied to all the documents uploaded during this scanning session.
