19 Chapter 1 Overview Introduction Kofax Capture is designed to support both document capture and data capture in a single application. Both structured and non-structured documents can be scanned in a single batch. The system will automatically recognize each document in the batch and process it based on characteristics that you have predefined. The definition process is simple, quick, and provides an extraordinary amount of control over how your documents are processed. Kofax Capture Network Server (KCN Server) extends the capabilities of Kofax Capture by allowing inexpensive Kofax Capture remote workstations to assist in the capture and processing of documents and data. With Internet (or intranet) capabilities, Kofax Capture workstations can be connected to a central site to assist in the document and data capture process. This guide provides important information about installing and upgrading to Kofax Capture and KCN Server, including: Operating requirements that must be met to successfully install Kofax Capture and KCN Server Preparations, decisions, precautions, settings, and helpful hints that will help you successfully and efficiently install Kofax Capture and KCN Server Instructions for installing Kofax Capture in interactive mode or in automatic mode in a client/server or standalone configuration Instructions for installing KCN Server and creating remote sites Information about installing other Kofax products used with Kofax Capture Information on performing automatic installations Kofax Capture 8 Installation Guide 1
