office environment. With ATX Document Manager™, you can
scan and store all of your client’s supporting tax documents
and frequently used IRS publications. Once this data has been
transferred to electronic copy, access to taxpayer information is only a
click away.
You need Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher installed on your system in
order to view release notes and other PDF files. You can load
Adobe Reader 9.0 from the ADOBE folder on this CD.
It is strongly recommended that your scanner is connected locally
to the computer from which you intend to scan.

example, if you have your personal information stored in ATX Document
Manager, you can lock the client so that other workers in your office will
not have access to your personal information.
If a client is locked when you try to perform a backup, ATX
Document Manager will prompt you to enter the client’s password
before you can schedule the backup. See Chapter 5: Using ATX
Document Manager for more information.

•
Highlight the client’s name and click the
Security menu, point to Client Security,
and select Lock Client; or
•
Right-click on the client’s name, point to
Client Security, and select Lock Client;
