i) Document Image Processing (DIP)
DIP is an electronic form of filing. In a DIP system, a document is passed through a
scanner, translated into digital form and the digitised image is then stored on a
storage device usually an optical disk.
ii) Applications of DIP include:
a. Electronic data interchange.
b. Desktop Publishing.
c. Management of accounting transactions.

1. Reduced space needed for files. One optical disk can contain 60000 pages of A4.
2. Simultaneous viewing of files by many users.
3. Faster retrieval of files.
