Once you have installed the TIFF Print Driver, you will need to set it up to interact with Amsoft. This should only need to be done once on each machine.
First, you'll need to open the printer properties. To do this, go to the control panel, open 'printers and faxes', find the TIFF Xchange icon, and right click on it. Then, go to 'Properties' . On the next screen, go to 'Printing preferences'.(Note: this may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows).
On the printer Properties screen, first go to the 'Save' tab. Select the 'Use Predefined Values' option. Then make the path: C:\importimage (use the C drive for this regardless of whether you are on a network or not). Click on the 'Macro' button, and click on 'Document Name'. Then, click on the 'Macro' button again, and click on 'Date'. This should change the file name to: %[DocName]%[Date]. Finally, check on 'Append Pages to Existing File.
The next step is to click on the 'Finish' tab. Check on 'Run Application After Printing', then select the 'Application' option, and enter the path for the import program. The file is called imptiff.exe, and it is located in the 'HCS' folder on the server drive. So, if your server drive letter is 'H', for example, the application line would read: H:\HCS\imptiff.exe .
Once that is done, click on 'Ok' to save the changes we've made. To permantently save the changes, you will now need to restart the computer. Your TIFF Driver is all set up and ready to use!
Using the TIFF Printer Driver
It is quite easy to use the TIFF Driver to attach files into Amsoft. First, print the item you wish to attach, and select the TIFF-Xchange V3 as the printer. This will bring up the following screen:
Click on the flashlight next to 'Account' to select the client whose file you will be attaching this item to. Next, enter the description of the image you are attaching, and check that the path is correct. Then, click on 'Ok'. This will bring up a screen with the iimage listed as a file on the hard drive. It should normally only show the file item you just printed. Highlight the file, and click on Open.
This brings up a screen with your document being viewed. Click on the 'Save' button at the top of the screen to save the image to the client's scanning file.
This will take you to the regular scanning screen, and the new document will be showing. You can simply close out of this screen.
