Wang Laboratories Inc has enhanced Open/image, its document imaging software. The new capabilities are designed to increase throughput and extend performance, and include upgrades to batch scanning, operation integration, forms processing, and facsimile capabilities, and performance improvements to its Unix server software, says Wang. Batch Scan 2.0 provides support for bar code processing and scanners from suppliers such as Panasonic Communications & Systems Co, Bell & Howell Co, and Ricoh Co Ltd, extending system flexibility. Connect 1.5, says Wang, provides users with the broadest terminal emulation support, enabling them to access and connect to the terminal of their choice, expanding systems options. FormOut enables a reduction in the storage requirements of forms-based documents while improving accuracy of optical character recognition. Open/image for FAX supports automated inbound and outbound facsimile, automated facsimile routing, and Tag Image Format Files 6.0 files. Workstation for Unix 2.0 and X/Motif for Workstation 2.0 provide full-screen viewing functions for Unix workstations and tighter integration with scanning capabilities. Printer Server expands printer support to include Hewlett-Packard Co network printers, increasing print throughput by supporting mid-range printer engines, says the company. And the server software enhancements, says Wang, for AIX, HP-UX and Solaris, include improved file input-output throughput capacity. Licensing is available in user sets ranging from 25 to 250 users for OPEN/image, OPEN/workflow and OPEN/coldplus.
