Note:  Office Practicum recommends scanning documents in black and white, at a maximum resolution of 200 dpi. In instances where color is important, you can save time and avoid computer slow-down by scanning the documents into your computer as .JPEG files, then importing them into Office Practicum through the Scan module. An imported file can be labeled and saved in your OP database, and attached to a patient record, like any scanned document.
