Virtual Printing

If you have a document open and you want to put it into OnBase, you can use the Print button to import into OnBase.  For example, perhaps you received an email that needs to be in OnBase.  Rather than printing and scanning it, and rather than saving it to a file and importing it, you can send it right into OnBase with the File -> Print features of your software application.  This is known as 'Virtual Printing'.  Follow these instructions to get your document virtually printed into OnBase.
