Abstract: A system and method for ascertaining and printing supplemental forms identified from content of a scanned form includes a multifunction peripheral having an intelligent controller with a processor, memory, a network interface. The MFP includes a print engine and a scan engine operable from instructions issued by the controller. The scanner generates an electronic form document from a scan of tangible form document comprised of user supplied information in a user fillable form. The electronic form document includes content data associated with at least one, preexisting supplemental form that related to the electronic form. A generated electronic document is sent to a server via a network interface, which network interface then receives a supplemental electronic form identified by the server in accordance with the content data. The controller generates a printout of the supplemental electronic form via the print engine.

Abstract: A system and method for discretizing individual documents from a concurrently scanned group of documents includes an intelligent controller having a processor and memory and a scanner that generates an scanned electronic image from a group of documents disposed on a platen of the scanner with spaces between the individual documents. The controller determines the edges of the each of the individual document areas within the scanned electronic image and generates a unique image file for each of the determined individual document areas. The controller previews each of the unique image files on a display of an associated user interface, and the user interface receives user input for performing desired operations of the previewed image files.
