First retrieve the items that you would like to export by doing a find. For instance do a find for all items with a process date of the current day, to export the days work.
Once you have the items in the grid that you would like to export then, Select File -> Export-> Export EZ-Scan Database from the menu.
Before exporting EZ-Scan will check the items currently in the grid to see if any of the items need to be verified. If any of the items do need to be verified, you will be given the opportunity to verify them before exporting. You will be prompted with this dialog box.

If you choose 'Yes', you will be taken to the Verify screen to correct the data. You will then automatically returned to the export when verification is done. If you click 'No', you will proceed to the export.
This export will export the data in the grid in an EZ-Scan Database format with the images stored in the database. Browse for the Export path using the 'Browse' button to the left of the 'Export Path' text box. Enter a descriptive name for the file to be exported and click 'OK' to start the export.

This export can be used to archive data and images. Typically, you would do a search by date range. For example from 01/01/2002 to 01/31/2002. You can take that file and burn it to a cd. You can then delete the data and images in the main database using the Purge Data program.
When you need to retrieve data from this CD simply open it using the Open Database command from the File menu on the main screen of EZ-Scan.
TIP: Always make sure to reopen the main database before trying to scan. You don't want to attempt to scan data to the CD.
