The size of a scanned document depends on what the scanner it set to. Scan mode & DPI affect the file sizes Some scan modes: color, gray-scale and black and white. 16-bit Color, 300 DPI will look great but create huge JPG and PDF files. Black and white at 100 DPI will be grainy but create very small files.

Some of our clients use black and white at 300 dpi and found that these settings are good enough to produced a re-printable certificates that are small enough to e-mail. Files created with these settings average .04MB per PDF page. Our system uses JPG files to allow for a quick view of the scanned document. The JPGs average 50-150KB per page

When a client needs or prefers higher resolution or gray-scale the file sizes increase. Some prefer Grayscale at 150dpi, these settings are good for reproducing the documents. At this size you run the risk of having problems e-mailing a multi-page PDF of a certificate. The average sizes are 2MB per page for the PDF and 100KB per page for the JPG.

An upgrade of The Business Edge server software can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours.

Things that affect the length of time an upgrade will take include but are not limited to:

1. How old is the version they are being upgraded from. Upgrading from a version that is a year old will take longer than upgrading from a version that is a month old.
2. The server’s Internet download speed. Some upgrades require a lot of files to be downloaded, some don’t need many. The upgrades that require big downloads are affected more by their server’s Internet download speed.
3. Speed of their server, disk drive speed, CPU speed, amount of memory. The faster the machine the faster the upgrade will be installed.
4. Amount of data in the file. A system with a million invoice records will take longer then a system with a thousand invoice records if the upgrade process affects the invoice file. If the upgrade does not affect the invoice file then the number of invoices won’t matter. The same is true for all of the files in the system. There are over 600 data files that may affect the amount of time an upgrade will take.
