Estimate Number of Pages for Scanning
Quickly estimate the number of pages for scanning based on the number of filing cabinets, boxes, or measurements.
Estimating the number of pages for scanning based on the number of documents squirreled away in boxes, filing cabinets, store rooms, and piles of paper is a difficult task. Having this information is necessary to provide a scope of work for pricing and timing.
The following guidelines will estimate the quantity of paper, microfilm, boxes, and filing cabinets so you can tame the paper beast.
Paper Estimation Guidelines
To estimate the number of pages for scanning, this guide shows the typical number of sheets of paper stored in boxes, filing cabinets, and by measurement. File folders, fasteners, such as binding clips, paperclip, staples, how full it is, and unwanted documents such as glossy brochures all play a part in the actual number of pages.
