ECMS - Scanner Support
This document explains the Enterprise Content Management Service (ECMS) support roles for scanner workstations using Perceptive Content (Imaging) software. If vendor support contracts are involved, only Fujitsu support is discussed.
If you are having difficulty using Perceptive Content on a supported scanner workstation combination, follow these steps to obtain help:
- Verify that the scanner can communicate with the Windows operating system. Your local computer/workstation support group is best suited to help with this step. You may use vendor based scanning software, Windows Fax & Scan, or the Windows Scan App to determine first if your scanning device is operational with Windows.
- If your local computer/workstation support group determines there is an issue with the scanner itself and there is a (Fujitsu) support contract in place, then they should contact the vendor for you to facilitate further troubleshooting and/or repair.
- If the scanner itself is operational or your hardware troubleshooting is inconclusive, submit either a DoIT Help Desk ticket or email imaging-support@doit.wisc.edu. The ECM/Imaging Service Team at UW‑Madison's Division of Information Technology (DoIT) will work with you to resolve the issue.
Support Roles:
- The ECM/Imaging Service Team at UW-Madison:
- Supports the connection of the scanner to Perceptive Content software, including the initial configuration of your scanner to work with the Perceptive Content desktop client.
- Your campus Division or Department's local computer/workstation support:
- Supports the connection of the scanner to your scanner workstation, i.e, can the operating system communicate with the scanner? This includes use of Fujitsu’s software package, Paperstream IP.
- Fujitsu (Vendor for scanner):
- When you buy a scanner from Fujitsu, we recommend that you also purchase a maintenance contract. You can choose from a variety of maintenance contracts; some include preventive maintenance, while others only address hardware failure.
