What are the requirements for my Internet Service when using DocsDirect?

The DocsDirect Web site and programs provide optimal functionality for users of an IBM compatible computer running:

  • Windows 95 or higher operating system
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, version 6.0 or later
  • Properly installed and functioning Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 6.0 or higher.


    • Based upon the universal abilities of the Adobe Acrobat Reader program, simple functions such as printing documents might be possible on other systems (i.e. Mac computers or Netscape browser); however, these situations are not recommended and are not supported by DocsDirect Technical Assistance.

    Is DocsDirect compatible with America Online (AOL)?

    Most of the functionality of DocsDirect is compatible with America Online's standard configuration. However, for best results, you might consider using America Online for connections, then open an independent copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later for Web-browsing.

    Do I need high-speed connection?

    DocsDirect provides optimal functionality for users with a high-speed (a/k/a broadband) connection to the Internet such as DSL, T1, Cable modem, etc. Most operations can be achieved using a dial up (analog modem) connection; however the slower connectivity may bring about undesirable results such as time-outs or lost connections.

    Can I use a Satellite Internet connection?

    Use of Satellite Internet service is highly discouraged when using DocsDirect. Satellite Internet technology is still relatively new and unreliable. Loss of functionality with Satellite Internet service also seems to be significant. Therefore, use of DocsDirect with Satellite Internet connection is not recommended and is not supported by DocsDirect Technical Assistance.

    Why doesn't my UserName and/or Password work?

    UserNames and Passwords are only required for approved Lenders who are responsible for ordering or preparing closing documents(DocsDirect Online). Users who are only required to print prepared closing packages will be given a "QuickCode" for each prepared file package. Note - UserNames and Passwords for DocsDirect users prior to January 16, 2003 are obsolete.

    How do I access documents from the DocsDirect Web site?

    If you need to print a prepared document package, you should have been given a "QuickCode" by a DocsDirect associate or your Lender. This QuickCode is a unique code assigned to a specific closed loan package. After entering a valid QuickCode, you will receive instructions for printing the corresponding documents.

    Back to Top

    What's a "QuickCode" and how do I get one?

    "QuickCodes" give a user access to print closing documents from DocsDirect. A unique "QuickCode" is assigned to each set of completed (ready to print) loan documents. When a set of loan documents is completed, the company responsible for printing those documents (usually a Closing Agent) will be notified that the documents are ready to print and of the corresponding "QuickCode" for that set of documents.

    Back to Top

    What if my "QuickCode" doesn't work or I lost my "QuickCode"?

    If you have been given a "QuickCode", but it does not work, or you have misplaced a "QuickCode", the most efficient solution, when possible, is to contact the person who gave you the "QuickCode". If that is not possible, you may complete our Technical Assistance Form. Please supply as much information as possible such as: (a) Borrowers first and last name (b) The nonfunctioning "QuickCode" (c) Lender, etc.

    Back to Top

    Will the Lender provide me with a "QuickCode"? Or does your company provide us with one?

    We are instructed by the Lender on how this is to be handled. Different arrangements may be made for individual circumstances. In most cases, a member of the DocsDirect staff will contact you with a "QuickCode" when the file is completed.

    Back to Top

    Is it possible to get our "QuickCode" ahead of time and check the Web site periodically for the loan package?

    "QuickCodes" are only assigned to completed loan packages. It is not possible to give out a "QuickCode" prior to the time when that file is ready to be printed.

    My loan package required corrections after I printed the full package. Can I use the same "QuickCode" to pull the corrected documents?

    When printing some documents in PDF format all the words run together with no spaces between them, however, everything looks fine on the screen. Is there an error in the documents, or is it my system?

    This issue can nearly always be resolved by obtaining and installing the most recent print driver available for your particular make and model printer. Most printer manufacturers, including Hewlett Packard, provide free printer driver updates from their Web sites. Printing documents utilizing PCL files might be another alternative solution.

    Are forms printed on ink-jet, bubble-jet or Dot-Matrix printers acceptable?
