• Dispatcher Phoenix Workstation for batch scanning - The Dispatcher Phoenix Workstation is an easy-to-use, desktop application for batch scanning that works with any manufacturer's high-speed scanner. A variety of pre-scan options are available, including the ability to automatically separate documents based on bar code, patch code, blank pages detected, specified page count, etc. Once documents are scanned into the Workstation, scan operators can easily reorder, rotate, and flip pages, split/merge documents, rescan or insert missing pages and more, using a real-time thumbnail image view.
