What are some of the imaging procedures used in the courts? What are the size limitations of scanning?
The CM/ECF Project Team recently released a document outlining imaging practices, Creating PDF Documents, dated August 21, 2001. The document can be found at: http://jnet/it/ecf/imaging.pdf. A suggested guideline for scanning by several courts is to break up large documents, limit the image to no more than 2MB, and save the document as a .pdf file. Attorneys should be trained to set up their scanner software to not use color and save the document as a .pdf file instead of a .txt file.
