<p>According to a preferred embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus and method for a digital filing system is disclosed. In this context, digital filing refers to the efficient management of paper-based information from its receipt at the desktop (710) through an indexing (714), scanning (722), image storage, and image retrieval process (730). The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide for easy and effective indexing (714), imaging, storing, retrieving (730) and managing of paper-based documents, transforming them into electronic documents using a system which incorporates many existing office resources. The proposed system and method implements a desktop (710) solution for digital filing, which can be made available to each worker. The digital filing system allows users to index (714) and label documents (724) prior to scanning/imaging (722) by using either a dedicated desktop labeling mechanism or pre-printed labels. The present invention utilizes individual pre-printed labels dispensed one at a time from a "pop-up" dispensing mechanism (730).</p> |
