Scanning
Documents can be scanned immediately after being recorded, or they can be scanned later using the GRIDS Scanning application. Office Scanning is used to scan after recording, but the GRIDS Scanning application is used to scan later.
eStamps can be placed on the document prior to scanning or electronically.

eStamps
Electronic stamps can now be applied to documents during the scanning process instead of being printed with a receipt printer or in conjunction with a receipt printer as a customized process. An example of a customized process would be printing file stamps on the first page and then electronically stamping the consecutive pages. eStamps can be turned on or off in the configuration.
If the system is configured to use electronic stamping, the stamps will appear on the scanned page with the option to move them around as needed to avoid overlapping text. The stamps are burned into the document when the scanned document is uploaded or saved.
