New! Digital Imprinter and Database Export Connector
October 3, 2011, we proudly announce two brand new CaptureBites. The CaptureBites Digital Imprinter and the Database Export Connector.
The Digital Imprinter is the modern variant of the sequential imprinters and endorsers used in high end production scanners. But instead of using ink, the CaptureBites Digital Imprinter imprints information electronically on your scanned documents during export. Therefore, it works with all scanners or MFP images that you import into your capture software.
The Database Export Connector updates your database instantly with document index information through ODBC. It also passes the document image file locations to the database so documents can be directly called and viewed from your application database.
CaptureBites Digital Imprinter
Imprinting has many use cases: 
- Electronically imprint the batch number and document number on each scanned document image as a reference the original paper in case of legal dispute electronically
- Imprint watermarks to mark scanned documents as confidential, mark them as a copy or superimpose your company’s logo. Transparent watermarks are supported when scanning in color.
- Use bar code fonts to imprint an index value, so you don’t need to re-index when an already scanned document needs to be scanned again. This is often required when an approval signature is required from both customer (first scan) and company (second scan). The bar code can also serve as a separator.
- Create edges in a color of choice on top or bottom, so the digital imprint does not interfere with the content of your documents.
- Position logos, index fields, time stamps etc. precisely through configurable margins

CaptureBites Database Export Connector
The most straightforward way of image enabling a business process is by adding a reference to a scanned document to an existing database. This could be a Microsoft SQL patient database, MySQL employee database, Sybase manufactured goods database or for a small business or department, it could be a customer or supplier MS-Access database. As long as you can connect to the database through an ODBC data source, it is possible to directly update your database with this CaptureBite.
During export, the CaptureBites Database Connector performs following functions:
- all documents are exported to a file server of choice
- it connects to the database through ODBC
- for each scanned document, it retrieves the corresponding record in the database by means of a unique reference code, name or number
- it can update any data fields in your database based on index data generated by your capture software
- it then updates the database with the correct document image file path for each of the scanned documents
- if the record is not yet present in the database it will automatically enter a new record in the database
