Contact your system administrator for more information about this.What do you do after importing?The importing process is the same for both raster and vector format documents, but the processingthat occurs after the import is slightly different. If the imported document is in raster format (such asa scanned image, Fax data) nothing more needs to be done to it before storing the document.If the document is in vector format (Not an image data such as a Microsoft Word file) then itis generally converted to a print image before storage. If you convert your documents createdwith Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel to image data, managing them will be much easier. Thisprocedure is explained in "Creating Document Images" on page 13.
