Hardware

Teleform Workstation

The Scanner PC (workstation: HSJJ387X4510QCP) in Trish's office has Teleform installed on it. The Teleform software and the overall process were modified for the upgrade to Windows 7.

Multifunction Printer/Scanner

The scanner on the multifunction printer (HSJJ387XPR01) in the main office is set up to scan to network share in order to be able to feed Teleform.

The scanner has been configured with an option labeled: Scan to Network. This option saves the file(s) to the following network share:

  • \\hsc1msfp0001.ad.wrha.mb.ca\intmed_cCMDB_ScanFolder

Currently the only users with access to this share are:

Files Used

The programs used with regular frequency are:

Description Executable
Designer tfdesign.exe
Scan Station tfscnstn.exe
Reader tfreader.exe
Verifier tfverify.exe

The Data Processor uses all of the above executable files and requires short-cuts to be available on the desktop.

Designer

New form are developed and existing forms are modified using Designer. Once the design has been completed and activated, the form serves as a master template against which data collection forms of that set are evaluated and verified after they are scanned. The Scan Station, Reader, and Verifier are collectively used for this purpose.

Sales and technical support

The Teleform product is no longer supported by Cardiff (the original product developer). Teleform is now part of the Autonomy product line and all technical support is through them.
