EMC Conversion System Frequently Asked Questions

The following is a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding the EMC Conversion System and Dayton Technologies. If this page does not answer your questions, please feel free to contact us directly at sales@daytontech.com or by phone for more information.

A: Yes. The EMC Conversion System must run on a DOS or Windows PC, but both versions of the software have been designed to interpret the Unix linefeed character as an end of line, if necessary.


Q: Can I use the EMC Conversion System to submit to multiple payers?

A: Yes. The Windows version is designed to handle multiple submitter IDs for multiple payers. The DOS version can also be configured to handle multiple payers at once. The EMC Conversion System is licensed based on the number of submitter IDs required by the provider.


Q: What is the normal process for implementing the EMC Conversion System?

A: Under normal circumstances, the customer submits sample invoice batches to Dayton Technologies for use in creating the conversion templates. When the conversion templates are complete, the fully-functional, thirty day demonstration version of the software is sent to the customer, pre-configured to run with the sample files. The demonstration version will only allow for five invoices per batch. When the customer remits payment for each required submitter ID, Dayton Technologies will respond with serial numbers which can be entered into the EMC Conversion System to unlock the full version.


Q: Can I filter the input to the EMC Conversion System?

A: Yes. Dayton Technologies can create a variety of filters for the EMC Conversion System. Filters would normally be used to compensate for unusual circumstances in the print image file. Files that contain uneven page lengths, unwanted binary information, and unconventional end-of-file markers can require filtering before they can be scanned by the EMC Conversion System.

For the DOS version, these are separate programs that must be executed manually before executing the EMC Conversion System. The Windows version contains a mechanism to automatically execute a filter before the conversion process begins.
