Abstract
A digital document image archive and distribution system includes an archive system and a distributed digital document image retrieval system. The system has communication nodes located at an image capture site and at one or more remote archive retrieval sites, these sites forming a communications network operating as a chained client/server network composed of workstation components and a capture site host computer component. An originating remote workstation retrieves a digital document image from the image capture site by creating a transaction file that identifies a digital document image to be retrieved. This transaction file is sent to a remote server workstation whereat a plurality of transaction files are batched by priority. The batched transaction files are transmitted to the capture site workstation whereat the host component retrieves a group of digital document images from archive storage, including the digital document image that is identified by the transaction file. The host then sends the group of digital document images to a capture site server workstation, which workstation then sends the group of digital document images from the capture site server workstation t…
