This Research Note discusses the power and capabilities of Comsquared's Image Director 4.0.

When you use a copier/printer/fax for scanning documents, where do the files go? How do you pull text from the scanned images? With so many software solutions out there, what works the best? The answer for many is simple: Comsquared ImageDirector 4.0, which makes scanning with your multifunction peripheral (MFP)--especially those from HP--a powerful scanning solution, utilizing your hardware’s touch screen interface. In this way, users can now quickly scan their documents (while copying simultaneously), route them across the network, name and index the file so they can be retrieved later, and even submit the scanned images for optical character recognition (OCR) so that the electronic versions are fully text-searchable. IT administrators can also appreciate .NET architecture and ease of administration, even for remote users. Has scanning ever been easier?
