ABOUT DIGIPATH XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE

Product overview

The Xerox DigiPath Production Software has the following applications:

Xerox DigiPath Professional Production Software is a

 

network-based image capture and retrieval system. It allows

 

you to create electronic images by scanning hardcopy

 

documents. You can then assemble the electronic images

 

into digital documents; edit and enhance those digital

 

documents; store, catalog and retrieve the digital documents;

 

and submit the digital documents to print to produce high

 

quality output.

 

Xerox DigiPath Xpress Production Software provides the

 

most direct path between job submission and job completion.

 

Using a simple, copier-like interface, DigiPath Xpress

E

enables you to scan, store, and print jobs quickly.

NOTE: None of the applications included in the DigiPath

 

Xpress package provide the ability to view RDO files. The

 

DigiPath Xpress package is used primarily for scanning

 

documents, managing files, and printing files. The DigiPath

 

Xpress package cannot be used to edit scanned files.
