Abstract: Users seek to obtain documents on their mobile computing device, such as a smart phone or tablet. Their device has a quick response (QR) code reader application and a camera for capturing QR codes. An imaging device scans the document and transfers its image to a remote computing device, such as a server, for storage. The remote device returns to the imaging device a uniform resource locator (URL) and unique identifier corresponding to the image. The imaging device displays to the user a QR code corresponding to the URL and unique identifier. The user captures the QR code with the camera of their mobile device and the QR code reader application launches a browser. The image is requested to be transferred to the mobile computing device. Upon return of the image from the remote computing device, the image of the document is displayed to the user.
