Scanning into OpenEMR

I was hoping to be able to scan doc / files into openEMR after seeing Admin -> Configuration -> Miscellaneous-> Fax/Scan I enabled the Scanner Support and set a Scanner Directory in the server and I put a test file there. I saerched around and it was working for some users but was not able to find how this feature work.

I appreciate your help

The Scan Dispatch dialog only supports B&W TIFF format files. As long as your scanning hardware is able to generate and save those to whatever folder you’ve designated, then you should be able to parse the pages and insert them into patient charts.
If you want to automate the upload and integration of other file types into patient charts (e.g., PDF , JPEG, DOC, etc), suggest looking into the emr_scan_load.plx utility under …/contrib/util
