- General Remarks about BUSINESS CARD READER
-
- Installation
-
- Insert the installation diskette into Drive A ( or B) and type:
-
-
- win A: Setup [enter] or,
- run A: Setup - from Windows
-
- First time using Business Card Reader
-
- 1. Select New BCR base name: use File: New Base Menu item.
- The BCR base will consist of two files:
-
- *.cdb - card texts
- *.img - card images
-
- 2. Select and Setup Scanners: use Settings: Scanner Menu item.
- Select scanner model. Do not forget to Setup Scanner.
-
- 3. Setup Input: Use Settings: Input Menu item.
- You can select the single or multiple card input mode, and
- frame for scanning. The default values are: single card mode
- and the size of the frame is 3.5" X 2" which corresponds with
- the standard business card size. The frame is placed at the
- upper left corner of the scanner for all flatbed scanners.
-
- For the Dextra model DR-6GP, DR-3GP or the AVision 100 you have to set
- the left margin value on 2.3" - 2.5" depending on how you set the tray
- on the Dextra scanner.
-
-
-
-
- Input modes and use of a template
-
-
- There are two input modes; single card and multiple card modes.
-
- In the single card mode you will get the image within an ordered frame
- as a image of a card. The standard size of a business card is 3.5"x 2".
-
- In the multiple card mode Business Card Reader is looking for cards
- within a framed area. The most reliable way to use the multiple card
- mode is with a card template. This is constructed of a heavy weight
- paper with window cutouts for the cards. This way you can avoid
- skewing and loosing some cards by Business Card Reader. If you want
- to use a template, select multiple card mode and set the frame for
- scanning with a width of 8.5" x 11".
-
- You can make your own template if you wish. The size of the windows
- will have to be 3.6" x 2.1". Each window must be outlined with a
- black marker to the size of 3.8" x 2.3". It is a good idea to mark
- both sides of the template so that either side can be used.
-
- IMPORTANT: Do not use multiple card mode with the DEXTRA DR-6GP, DR-3GP
- or the AVision 100 scanners.

-
- LINK BETWEEN BUSINESS CARD READER AND LOTUS ORGANIZER
-
- 1. Brief description of the Link.
-
- The menu item Link will manage all linking functions consisting of
- the following:
-
- a. Link Base: Permits you to select Lotus base which have
- to be linked with Business Card Reader base.
-
- b. Unlink Base: Deletes linkage.
-
- c. Update: Exports all cards which were created or
- changed from the previous update.
-
- d. Auto Update: If this item is checked, every new or
- changed card will be exported into the Lotus
- base immediately.
-
- Each card contains two attributes:
-
- 1. Update: Was the card updated since the last export
- of that card to the Lotus base.
-
- 2. Link ID: Identifier of exported card in the Lotus
- base; Link ID is not empty if the card was
- exported once. If Link ID was established
- for the card, all the following updates will
- replace the exported items in the Lotus base.
-
-
- 2. Problem with Link using TZDLL.DLL.
-
- The main cause of this problem is that Lotus Organizer cannot use
- TZDLL.DLL which is not loaded from the Lotus directory. This means that
- we cannot place TZDLL.DLL in the BCR directory, because Lotus Organizer
- will not work if BCR was loaded before Lotus.
-
- We are currently loading TZDLL.DLL from the Lotus directory when
- BCR can find it. This is made possible in the following instances:
-
- a. Lotus was loaded before BCR
- b. TZDLL.DLL can be found using the PATH statement
- c. BCR was installed in the Lotus directory
