Intelligent Capture is a system for classifying and extracting documents, capturing and converting them to
digital format, or capturing existing digital documents and then processing and routing these documents according to
your business processes. Users can submit paper documents from
multifunction printers
(MFPs), or they can submit
digital documents from individual computers. Additionally, some functions may be accessed from select single
‑
function
printers, such as print release.
The Lexmark Intelligent Capture system has two parts:
•
Intelligent Data Extraction
(IDE) engine—This is composed of the project and learnset created from the distiller.
•
Distributed Capture Platform—This is the workflow solution created from the
Software Development Kit
(SDK).
