New DYMO File™ Software Scanning Technology Designed To Efficiently Scan and File Multiple Documents At Once

Delivers Fast, Easy and Affordable Way to Move from Paper to Digital Filing

STAMFORD, Conn. (August 30, 2007) - DYMO® today introduced DYMO File™ software, a smart new way to file digitally based on the company’s patent-pending barcode scanning technology.  Unlike other desktop scanning applications that are best for “one-off” scanning, DYMO File™ software is designed specifically for scanning multiple documents at once, streamlining the digital filing process.  Ideal for paper-heavy small- to medium-sized businesses, DYMO File™ delivers the many advantages of a digital filing system at an affordable price using equipment many businesses may already own.

“DYMO File™ software is particularly valuable for real estate, accounting, financial, legal, and medical offices where managing contracts, forms and agreements is common,” said Nelson Hsu, DYMO Global Marketing Director.  “It eliminates the often time-consuming and tedious task of scanning one document at a time.  And while there is no shortage of document management tools for large enterprises, DYMO File™ offers an affordable system tailored to the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses.”

To demonstrate the value of DYMO File™ software to the SOHO and SMB community, DYMO is offering a free trial of DYMO File™ at www.dymo.com.  You may use the software free for up to 30 days to scan up to 500 pages. According to Hsu, early trials have yielded positive user feedback.

DYMO File™ Software:  Three Easy Steps

Compatible with most all-in-one or large copiers/scanners with automatic document feeders, which many SOHOs and SMBs already own, DYMO File™ software allows users to scan and file many documents at one time in three simple steps:

1. Choose filing options for your document
   Specify the file name, location and file type (such as PDF, or Microsoft® Word) using the easy-to-use DYMO File™ interface.  A unique barcode is then automatically created for the document.
   
   
2. Print the barcode
   Print the barcode on small self-adhesive labels from a DYMO® LabelWriter® printer for an optimal user experience.  Apply the barcode to the document, or the first page of a multi-page document.  Alternatively, barcodes can be printed on plain paper to serve as a cover sheet. This process of creating files and barcodes continues for the entire stack of documents – all from the user’s desktop.
   
   
3. Scan all documents – DYMO File™ does the rest
   Place the stack of barcoded documents in the scanner’s automatic document feeder and scan all at once.  DYMO File’s™ technology reads each barcode and automatically files each document with the name, file type and in the folder specified by the user in step one. Because DYMO File™ software performs the filing function automatically, the user can simply leave the stack to scan and DYMO File™ does the rest.
