SERVER HARDWARE

 

Application Server*

Processor

Dual Core 2.5 GHz or higher

RAM

4 GB or higher

Hard Disk Space (minimum)

Approx 10 GB or more

 

Note: Please take a note that the figure described here is an approximate calculation. We recommend you to calculate the Free Disk Space required to install PaperSave based on the below described formula:

 

"Size of all files/directories where the ISO is extracted + Size of temp files + 50% of both"

LAN

10/100 Mbit or higher

Application Server With Transaction Automation*

Processor

Quad-Core processing speed or higher

RAM

12 GB or higher

Hard Disk Space (minimum)

500 GB or higher

LAN

10/100 Mbit or higher

Database Server*, **

Processor

2.5 GHz or higher

RAM

4 GB or higher

Hard Disk Space (minimum)

30 GB or higher
Note: This figure is based on a 1st year growth within the PaperSave Database of an avg. 100 Docs/Day at 200KB avg. per document.

LAN

10/100 Mbit or higher

 

Note:

*Virtualization technologies such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V are fully supported.
**Please refer to PaperSave Space Requirement Calculator  for database size requirements and growth projections.
**If Application Server and Database Server are both on the same physical machine then:
Disk Space required = App Server Disk Space Required + DB Server Disk Space
RAM required = App Server RAM Required + DB Server RAM Required
CPU Required = 2 Cores whose speed is higher than 2.5 GHZ each.

SCANNER REQUIREMENTS

 

PaperSave supports the use of local (USB) and networked scanners & copiers. All scanners must have the ability to scan files using the following output settings.

 

Multi-Page TIFF file type
FTP site or Network Shared Folder
300dpi resolution
Black & White (monochrome/1-bit) color setting
ScanNow™ and PaperSave Scan (Capture) requires the use of Twain Drivers so networked scanners will not work for those features.  Also scanning through PaperSave using ScanNow™ or PaperSave Scan (Capture) can only be done within machines that run a Windows Operating System with .NET 3.5 installed on it.  Scanning within PaperSave Web Client User Interfaces is only supported  when the Web Client is being used within Internet Explorer 10+ on a Windows machine with .NET 3.5 installed on it.
Please download and use the barcode test utility, to test the fitness and ability of any scanner that will be used to drive batches of scans that will be separated using a barcode separation mechanism (ScanFirst™ into Workflow, or ScanLater™) to the PaperSave Drop Point Processing (Batch Scanning) Service or PaperSave Scan (Capture) Local (USB) Scanners.

 

Below you will find a list of recommended local (USB) scanners, and their requirements.

Recommended USB (local) Scanners
Fujitsu fi-6 series TWAIN-Compliant USB Scanner
Fujitsu fi-7 series TWAIN-Compliant USB Scanner

 

If the scanner chosen is not from our recommended list of UBS scanners, then the scanner must be TWAIN-Compliant in order to be used within for ScanNow™ or PaperSave Scan (Capture) feature(s).

 

OTHER PERIPHERALS & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

 

Validated (compliant with technical settings requirements) centralized multi-function equipment with scanning functions and capability to define Pre-set Functions Buttons for Drop point processing (Batch Scanning) purposes.
PaperSave recommends dual monitors (or large screen monitor) on workstation(s) utilizing PaperSave© Workflows. Workflow Entry Viewer to perform data entry into Host Application windows from an item in a PaperSave Workflow or Workflow queue. Windows Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) requires the use of a TWAIN redirection add-on in order to support the use of ScanNow™ and or PaperSave Scan. PaperSave has worked with add-ons such as Remote Scan (www.remote-scan.com) and TS Scan (www.tssscan.com) in the past, but does not endorse or support those tools.
