To use UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on to define a paper questionnaire as a scanning project in ReadSoft FORMS Manager, do this:

1 Format the questionnaire in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper.

You format the questionnaire using scanning-enabled Looks, which contain hidden information to identify the fields on the questionnaire for the scanning software. You can use the scanning-enabled Looks that are supplied with UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper, or you can define your own.

For more information, see Formatting questionnaires for scanning.

2 Insert scanning controls.

You use the Insert Scanning Controls command to create recognition and adjustment fields for each page of the questionnaire. Before you run the command, you can define the number, size, and position of these fields in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on Options dialog.

For more information, see Scanning control fields.

3 Transfer to scanning software

Before you run the command, you can define default validation behavior for each type of field and other ReadSoft FORMS options in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on Options dialog.
