Verifying your image quality at the beginning and end of the scan cycle is
a good idea. It will tell you that when you started and ended the scanner
was operating within set guidelines. A couple of things it won't tell you
is if it varied during the scan cycle. It will not tell you if an image(s)
was not captured correctly do to a range of variables including color,
density, contrast. It will not tell you if you missed an image(s). It will
not tell you if images were added.
Sampling works best when dealing with large numbers, millions of documents,
in a closed loop project, i.e. a backfile conversion. When dealing with
line of business records the best practice is to verify each image. Images
should be verified by a person other than the one who scanned the record.
Keep in mind that studies have shown that when a human is involved error
rates of three to ten percent are expicted.

Everyone to their own poison,

Chris Flynn
