Before you transfer to ReadSoft FORMS
To run the Transfer to Scanning Software command successfully:
▪Eyes & Hands Forms (EHF) 5.2 Service Pack 13 Hotfix 4, or ReadSoft FORMS 5.3 must be installed.
▪ReadSoft FORMS must be selected on the General tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on Options dialog.
▪The UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on virtual printer must be installed.
▪The resolution set for the virtual printer must match the resolution set for the scanner that will be used to scan the questionnaires.
▪The questionnaire that you want to transfer must have the same paper size set for every page, and this must match the default paper size set for the virtual printer.
▪The questionnaire that you want to transfer must be formatted using scanning-enabled Looks.
▪If the questionnaires are to be scanned-double sided, mirror margins must be selected.
▪All hidden text and formatting marks must be hidden from view in Word. For example, the Hidden Text option in Word must be deselected, and the Hide option of the Show/Hide command must be selected.
▪You need to insert scanning control fields (adjustment fields and, optionally, recognition fields). Choose whether or not to include recognition fields using the General tab of the Options dialog. Then insert the fields using the Insert Scanning Control Fields command on the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on menu. If you attempt a transfer without first inserting the scanning control fields, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on can insert them before starting the transfer.
▪If you need to adjust the settings for your scanner, do this by changing the default settings in the Scanner Settings dialog in ReadSoft FORMS Manager
before you run the Transfer to Scanning Software command. When you run the Transfer to Scanning Software command, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on automatically applies the settings in ReadSoft FORMS to each form definition in the job. The exceptions to this are the Light and Contrast settings and the Rotation settings. For more information, see
ReadSoft FORMS options.
