GETTING STARTED GUIDE I LAW PREDISCOVERY
Unicode Support
In cases where you need to review and produce discovery documents in foreign languages or even conduct
mixed-language searches within documents, you can benefit from the Unicode support in LAW PreDiscovery.
LAW PreDiscovery versions 5.2 and higher support the Unicode standard for universal character encoding.
Proper language packs must be installed on the computer in order for the associated Unicode characters
to display within the LAW PreDiscovery user interface.
You can use the ED Loader to import files that have Unicode file names or are residing in a Unicode path.
You can retain and display these Unicode paths in the main folder view and in any other applicable LAW
PreDiscovery folder view. Unicode existing in the metadata will be retained and can be displayed in the
Index display.
Scanning Documents
LAW PreDiscovery is made up of several different licenses that are sold individually or in bundles. If you need
to process paper documents, you will need the Scan or LAWtsi (touch screen interface) scan license (available
for order separately). Let’s go over some scanning basics.
Before scanning any documents, you must first select a scanner. All scan functions will be disabled until a
scanner has been recognized. First, choose Select Scanner from the Scan menu to display a list of all available
scanner drivers.
The next step is to set options such as black border removal and barcode detection (Scan >Scan Options), as
well as scanner settings such as mode (black & white, color, grayscale), resolution (DPI), page size, brightness
and contrast (Scan >Scanner Settings). Once you have selected your scanner and set up your options, you are
ready to scan. All newly scanned documents will be saved in the current folder, so we recommend that you
make periodic checks to ensure documents are in the intended folder. When scanning documents, you should
remove any staples, clips, rubber bands or other bindery materials, and then place the page(s) to be scanned
in the auto-document feeder or on the flatbed.
