Greetings!
 
The newest edition to Lodgical Solution is the ability to scan documents and save them to specific reservations.  You will notice, on the reservation screen, a new button that says "View Scanned Documents".  Using a Visioneer scanner, you will be able to scan documents such as the registration card, drivers license, etc. and not have to keep a printed/copied document.
Reservation Screen

When you are anywhere inside of a reservation, you will be able to place a document in the scanner and Lodgical will save the document as ScanXXXXY.pdf.  XXXX will represent the reservation number and Y represents a letter indicating the document number.  For instance, if my drivers license is the second thing I scanned to this reservation, the file name will be Scan1152B.pdf.  

Reservation Screen

View Scanned DocumentsAfter scanning your documents, click on the View Scanned Documents button.  The next screen will show your scanned documents. 

Scanned Images Window - Registration Sheet

From here, you are able to see any of your scans using the view drop down menu.  You also have the ability to print the document.

Scanned Documents Window - Drivers License

After having them sign the registration card, you can scan this document and it records everything they wrote on the bottom, including signature, type of vehicle, license number & state.  There is no need to keep the paper copy of this information anymore.  After scanning, you can give it right back to them.  Everything is stored on your computer.
Set-Up
 
Lodgical Set-UpTo get Lodgical to recognize your scanned documents, you will have to select Visioneer Scanner Installed on this PC from the interface window.  To get to this window, go to Utilities, Configuration, Interfaces, Visioneer Scanner.  We suggest that you select Drive C and create a folder called LodgicalScan right on the C drive.  Double click the LodgicalScan folder in the "Directory" box.  The LodgicalScan folder is a temporary folder that will house scanned documents until Lodgical is able to transfer them into the ScannedDocuments folder in Lodgical's main directory.
 
Now that Lodgical is ready to accept scans, you need to set up your Visioneer scanner.
 
When you go into the properties for the scanner, you will notice a window similar to the following:

Visioneer Set Up

In the "Select Destination" list, click to select Transfer to Storage.  We will also want to select PDF as the format to save the document as.  Under "Select Configuration", double click on US Letter Document.  From this screen, you will want to choose color scans to accommodate the drivers licenses you will save.  After making other preferred changes click OK to save.

Configuration Settings

Click on the "Properties" button.  Make sure the All documents are in the root has a filled circle.  Also, make sure that the LodgicalScan folder is in the "Storage location" field.  Click OK when finished.
