What resolution are you guys scanning in your documents? What is the file size you can upload?
And are you combining Schedule A in as one document, or uploading as a separate doc? Thanks |

Quoted:
I just use standard 300 x 300 because that's all I typically use with my scanner for text-heavy documents to be ultra clear. Max file size is 3mb. I included schedule A with the rest of my trust as one attachment. 3 eForm approvals so far. Whoa at 300 my scan came out a 27MB. I don't know if I can compress it enough |
|
Quoted:
I went from 300dpi color, to 200dpi B&W, and it took mine from ~10MB to 1.7MB, so make sure you're scanning in B&W. I believe I had 26 pages. The max file size is 3MB, but it does allow you to upload 10 files if you need to, so you really have 30MB available. got ya. Thanks |

I don't know if I can compress it enough Sometimes that's the problem with some of the standard scanners you buy from places like Best Buy for $30 - $100. Good price but they have to cut cost somewhere. Sometimes that means the compression algorithm used to convert scans isn't that efficient and you end up with large file sizes. I have a very low-end entry-level business class printer/copier/scanner/etc. It was about $450 - $500 but the compression is alright. My scanned trust (17 pgs) is 2.14mb In my area Staples (edited) will convert your docs to pdf pretty cheaply. You'll have a nice small file size. You just have to supply a flash drive. |

I didn't think to remind OP to only use B&W (which is what I used too). |

I put my trust name and city-state address along with clarification on the caliber (i.e. "The caliber being used is 300 blk").
To be clear though, nothing is required to be written in there. I traded emails with Gary Schaible on the subject when I submitted one of my first eForms because all I saw was 7.62 as a drop-down option. I asked if I should specify 7.62x39. His reply was: "For NFA purposes, we only want the ‘base’ caliber such as 7.62 or 5.56" Additionally, the info which I did type in for 4h additional description never came back populated on any of my approved eForm form 1s. I added it on all of them and not one of my approved stamps has it included yet. ETA: For 4i state why you intend to make a firearm, I do use "For collection and all other purposes" and that did come back written in on all my approved forms. |
