Abstract
The invention includes generating a start scan signal at a user interface of a client device, transmitting the start scan signal from the client device to a scanner, receiving the start scan signal at the scanner, and scanning a document with the scanner to generate document data, in response to the start scan signal. The user interface can include a web browser and the start scan signal can be generated by activation of a control element defined in a hypertext mark-up language (HTML) document displayed on the web browser. The method can also include transmitting the document data from the scanner to the client device, receiving the document data at the client device, and generating a display including the scanned document on the user interface of the client device, based on the document data. The display can be generated from a hypertext mark-up language (HTML) document.
