Info About Computer Output Microfilm and COM microfiche
Computer Output Microfilm is the process for transferring data from electronic media stored on computers to 16mm microfilm or microfiche.
What is the machine which creates this? Using lasers and a processor, the data from the PC is copied to microfilm or microfiche. The fiche or film is then developed after it is exposed to light.
Computer Output Microfilm is used a solution for large organizations that want to see a reduction of paper.
It also provides away to preserve records for archival purposes.
Computer Output Microfilm and COM fiche can be converted to digital image via microfiche scanning, a service that Generation Imaging offers.
Digital images save even more space and takes COM systems to the next level, sort to speak.
Converting Computer Output Microfilm to digital image is useful for organizations who need:
- computer printouts
- reports, such as tax assessment documents, which have many pages
- a large distribution of images is required
- Images must be transferred or copied
By the way, I know how awkward it sounds to say Computer Output Microfilm and calling it COM fiche (which is similar to saying ATM machine). The correct terms should be Computer Output Microform, but hardly anyone in the industry uses microform (which can be microfiche, microfilm, or aperture cards). It could be why so many people get all three confused.
Anyway, please contact Generation Imaging for a COM microfiche scanning solution. G.I. scans all sorts of analog media, so don't hesitate to ask us if we can help you in any way.

Microfiche scanning
The first thing that comes to mind to people who hear the term "microfiche" is libraries, but the reality is that many organizations use microfiche as a filing system, like insurance companies, medical offices, or governments. Yes, it's true there are many organizations and private individuals that handle microfiche on a daily basis to access their information.
This has been a common practice for many years, but microfiche scanning technologies has been changing this dynamic. Whether you have 16mm jacketed microfiche, 35mm microfiche in jackets, COM fiche, step-and-repeat microfiche, or other types of microfiche that store your documents, you are probably thinking there has to be a better way to access the records.
Organizations around the world have taken advantage of microfiche scanning technology and have converted microfiche to digital images. The advantages are obvious when you think of it: eliminates storage cost, allows instant retrieval of information, has the ability to transfer data anywhere, and saves labor. The bottom line is that digitizing microfiche to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, or any digital image format has made it easy for such organizations to make this microfiche conversion decision.
