I used a similar system to that which Roger mentioned in the early 1990's.  We integrated a program to "electronically bates number" the scanned images.  The first page carried the document number, 123456.000, each additional page had an appended number for the page, 123456.001.  Didn't mark up my originals, numbered my images for metadata and allowed for easy retrieval.  Wouldn't solve document type recognition, but I imagine you could run several sets of numbers if you didn't have too many document types, or you could build a document type code into the number itself.

Janet,

As part of the GTEK in Ottawa this week I attended a presentation by
Fujitsu, 905-286-9666,  from Mississauga, where the rep demo'd a new
scanner (for me) that adds an a number to each scanned record, could be
your solution instead of using a sticker.

This is not recommendation their product only attempting to provide you
with a solution.

In order to make our imaging process more efficient for scanning of  back
file documents we would like to add a barcode to the physical documents
during the imaging process.  The purpose of the bar code is to provide the
Kofax imaging solution and Content Manager a way to determine what type of
document is being scanned and to provide a way to collect standard metadata
for indexing, in order to locate the images during the search and retrieval
process.



<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
/>

We would like to use stickers, however, we are concerned that we are
altering the original document and we are unsure how this would be viewed
in
the courts.



Does anyone out there use this type of solution?



Thanks,
