About Routing Sheets

A Routing Sheet is a page with a barcode containing the distribution instructions for a document. The barcode identifies the documents during scanning like a traditional fax cover page. You can reuse routing sheets for standard, repeated tasks.

Routing sheets specify the following information.

  • Who receives your document

  • Which communications channel is used (fax, email, folder, or printer)

  • Optional format conversions required for each recipient

Use a routing sheet to perform the following tasks.

  • Scan and route multiple documents at the same time. Routing sheets can separate documents that are placed in a feeder as a batch and each unique document set can have distinct routing rules.

  • Send scanned hard copy documents and electronic documents in multiple formats simultaneously through one transmission.
    If you want to email a hard copy document to one recipient and fax it to another, a single routing sheet with instructions for both destinations can do so.

See a routing sheet example below.
