If not already done by the client or the firm, the scanning company should place a slip-sheet between each document before scanning. After the documents are scanned, the vendor needs to provide logical document breaks. The Firm requires a 1 document to one database record ratio. Between slip-sheeting during scanning and the logical document breaks service, this ratio should be guaranteed. Slip sheets should not appear in the database or images.
The resulting database must maintain the parent-child document relationships through the “BegAttach” and “EndAttach” fields.
When the firm requires the vendor to print documents to paper, a non-white slip-sheet must separate every document. Blue and dark green are the preferred colors for slip-sheets. If the slip-sheets use more than one color please refer to the color blindness specifications.
