ABOUT FORMS & SAMPLE FORMS

A.      We at Com Com Systems feel that in order for you, the user, to 
        gain a much quicker appreciation of the ELA Office ICR/OCR, Mark 
        Sense and Imaging software package and its powerful and truly cost-
        effective capabilities, sample forms need to be immediately 
        available for your testing even if a scanner isn't.

        Upon installation therefore of the ELA Office software, an 
        \OFFICWIN\SAMPLES subdirectory is automatically created into where 
        images of some sample forms would also be automatically loaded.  
        
        1.      Those with .ELT and .TIF extensions are for ELA testing
                purposes.

                To run a test (see also the Help menu), select a filled in
                sample form with a .TIF name extension.  Then, select the 
                associated forms template which contains the attributes for 
                each field on the form, and which has the same name as the 
                sample form but with extension .ELT.  ELA Office then goes 
                to work and shows unrecognized characters from the sample
                form, if any.

        2.      If you wish to test your own handwriting, please call
                our sales department at 813-725-3200 to request the desired
                paper forms which you can fill out, scan and present for
                recognition by ELA Office.
        
                You will need to have, however, either a full size scanner or 
                a combination of a PC with a fax card and a fax machine, in 
                order to generate the electronic images of the forms.


B.      You may already have a PC application software suitable for forms 
        design and generation.  If not, there are a multitude of software
        packages priced from $10 up to several hundred dollars that will 
        help generate excellent paper forms using a variety of printers.
