Important Terms to remember when estimating quantity:
Image: Refers to a single digital image.  If a single sheet of paper has information on both sides, when scanned it will be two images.
Document: is a broadly used term that refers to a collection of organized data.  A document can be a single page or several hundred pages.  Documents are also referred to as ‘records.’
Page: One sheet of paper.  A page can be a single image, or it can be two images (if the page has text on both sides).
