Image Arranger
CONFI G U RA TION N O T E S
Image Arranger is a powerful application developed to convert paper and film-based information to
digital format. It combines multiple document and image views with convenient drag and drop,
image editing, conversion and impositing options. Arranger allows captured information to be
arranged and edited, as well as combined with other existing imaged documents. Various editable,
printable, and displayable formats are provided for storing the captured information, making it easy
to match file format to content characteristics. Built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) based on
ScanSoft's TextBridge OEM libraries, provides a convenient way to convert scanned documents to a
standard editable format. Once conversion is complete Image Arranger provides sophisticated
output options in a variety of file formats to the Windows file system or links to Ultr@Doc document
database for storage and retrieval.
Support for a family of industry-leading scanners and other capture devices is based on high
performance Windows drivers using a TWAIN source-manager/image-source model and open-
platform, high-speed interfaces such as SCSI and USB. Unfortunately, the scanner manufactures are
slow to release true 64-bit scanner drivers and 64-bit applications cannot use 32-bit drivers. In these
instances, both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Arranger can be loaded on the same PC. See our blog
for more information on 64-bit Twain.
Printing from Arranger is submitted through normal Windows printer drivers or high-performance
Custom Print interfaces. Utility drivers are also provided for tasks such as file conversion, shared
network printer submission, and the use of Custom Print capability from non-Ultr@Ware
applications.

ONFIGURATION
• Server (Scan Station) – Fully functional version including scanning support. And all
document building and make-ready features. If Arranger is used with a directly attached
scanner, or in conjunction with the scanning capability of a digital copier/multifunction
device, then the Server license is required.
• Client (Workstation) – All document building and make-ready features are supported in the
Client version of Arranger. It is useful for situations where one or more PC’s will be used
for editing and reuse of image documents previously captured. You can install one or
more licenses of the Client version at any site where there is at least one Server version
installed.

(ARM)
ARM allows Arranger to work with unlimited size documents. It does this by way of a memory-
mapped file containing the image document. As a result, its performance is directly dependent on
the performance of the system disk drive where the ARM file is written. We recommend a 10K RPM
SCSI HD for this purpose—actually we have several customers using the newer 15K RPM drives with
blazingly fast performance.
For smaller documents that fit in the available physical memory, you can disable ARM and achieve
best performance in a “memory-only” mode. This is obviously not going to work where large
