Image storage

You can choose to store the images in the database or in separate images files in all editions of EZ-Scan except EZ-Scan Lite. Your only option with Lite is to store images in the database.

 

Storing images in the database is a convenient option if you do not need long term storage. All data and images will be stored in one database file. Access databases have a 2 gigabyte size limit. This will limit you to storing approximately 150,000 to 175,000 images in your database. The actual number will depend on the size and design of your documents. You will need to purge items from the database to continue scanning once the database has been filled.

 

Storing images in separate files is a more flexible solution. The images are stored in one of the following formats to separate images files.

 

When setting Storage Locations, you should only have one Storage Path in the list unless you have archived your information to a CD or other media. If you need to change the location where the images are stored, edit the Storage Location number 1. This is the main storage location. Do not add another storage location. Only add an additional storage location for as a location for Archive. ex CD rom. All images should be stored in storage location number 1.
