Currently the latest release of Print 2 DIS is 0.6

Licensing

Print 2 DIS is sold as a per-computer license meaning each license only covers installation on one PC. Internet access is required for activation of the product on each PC.

Features

Print 2 DIS currently:

  • Allows indexing of all categories for databases the user has access to store documents into.
  • Allows for data extraction templates to be configured to extract text from the document to be used as index values.
  • Utilize electronic signature pads to sign documents prior to storage. (as of version 2.0)

  • More items based on what users like yourself request.
Installation

Once purchased, you will receive a serial number for your company which will allow up to the number of licenses purchased installations / activations.

Run the setup accepting all the defaults unless you want to change the location of the installation.

*The installation will install a new printer to your system named “P2DIS”. This is how you will launch Print 2 DIS.

After the installation completes, the Docubase configuration window will appear giving you the opportunity to enter the server information and the user information.

initCfg

Enter the server name and port and then click “Verify”.
If the information is correct, the status will change to Verified and you can now enter the user information.

*If the PC is to connect from outside the office over the internet, be sure to have the hosts file configured with the correct IP address. Your router MUST also be configured to properly forward the client port from the outside to the DIS server.

Once the user information has been entered, click verify and the status should change to verified.

Once these steps are done, you can click OK and the application is now ready to use.

Usage

Instead of selecting a physical printer on your desk or in your office, you will select the “P2DIS” printer after initiating a print from your application.

The Print 2 DIS interface appears with your document displayed in the viewer window.
* Thumbnails will display if there are more than 1 pages in the document.
