# Ingest Images and Documents

To configure a task to ingest an image file or document

1. Create a new configuration to send to HPE Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Ingest]` section, set the `IngestEngine` parameter to the name of a section in the configuration file that will contain the ingestion settings. For example:

       [Ingest]
       IngestEngine=SingleImageOrDocument

3. Create a new section in the configuration file to contain the ingestion settings, and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to `image`.
   `StartPage` | (Optional) The page in the image or document at which to start ingesting.
   `MaximumPages` | (Optional) The maximum number of pages to ingest from a multi-page image or document.

   For example:

       [SingleImageOrDocument]
       Type=image

   Tip: There is no configuration parameter to specify the source. You must specify the path of the source file that you want to ingest as the value of the `Source` parameter in the `Process` action, when you start processing.

4. Save and close the configuration file. HPE recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
