ABSTRACT:
A scanning device includes a mechanism and/or process for scanning a document and generating scan data that reflects the document. The scanning device is configured with a secure scanning mode of operation that allows scan data to be securely transmitted to one or more recipients and also controls physical access to a document. Secure scanning may be initiated manually by a user or initiated automatically based upon an identification or authentication of the user and/or one more recipients of the scan data. The scanning device may also be configured to generate and provide status data to a user that indicates the current status of a scanning operation and/or the successful delivery of scan data to one or more recipients. The device may also be configured to determine the proximity of a user with respect to the device and use the proximity information to provide various notifications.
