Abstract
A method for scanning a document a single time on a multi-function device (MFD) to generate a scanned image in different resolutions is disclosed. For example, the method is executed by a processor of the MFD and includes receiving the document, causing a scanner to scan the document, generating a plurality of scanned documents, wherein each one of the plurality of scanned documents have different resolutions, and outputting the plurality of scanned documents.
Claims20
A method for scanning a document on a multi-function device (MFD) to generate a scanned image in different resolutions, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a selection of a first workflow template to generate a plurality of scanned documents in different resolutions with a single scan request of the document on the MFD, wherein the different resolutions for each one of the plurality of scanned documents are user defined in the first workflow template, wherein a first one of the plurality of scanned documents in a first resolution of the different resolutions is to be printed and a second one of the plurality of scanned documents in a second resolution of the different resolutions is to be displayed on a monitor;
- receiving, by the processor, the document;
- causing, by the processor, a scanner to scan the document;
- generating, by the processor, the plurality of scanned documents in the different resolutions, wherein the generating comprises:
- causing, by the processor, the scanner to scan the document a first time at the first resolution;
- and
- causing, by the processor, the scanner to scan the document a second time at the second resolution;
- outputting, by the processor, the plurality of scanned documents, wherein the outputting comprises:
- storing, by the processor, the plurality of scanned documents in a file folder that includes a single icon for the plurality of scanned documents;
- receiving, by the processor, a selection of the icon to print the document;
- automatically selecting, by the processor, the first one of the plurality of scanned documents in the first resolution to be printed;
- and
- causing, by the processor, the first one of the plurality of scanned documents to be printed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD), cause the processor to perform operations for scanning a document on a multi-function device (MFD) to generate a scanned image in different resolutions, the operations comprising:
- receiving a selection of a first workflow template to generate a plurality of scanned documents in different resolutions with a single scan request of the document on the MFD, wherein the different resolutions for each one of the plurality of scanned documents are user defined in the first workflow template, wherein a first one of the plurality of scanned documents in a first resolution of the different resolutions is to be printed and a second one of the plurality of scanned documents in a second resolution of the different resolutions is to be displayed on a monitor;
- receiving the document;
- causing a scanner to scan the document;
- generating the plurality of scanned documents in the different resolutions, wherein the generating comprises:
- causing the scanner to scan the document a first time at the first resolution;
- and
- causing the scanner to scan the document a second time at the second resolution;
- outputting the plurality of scanned documents, wherein the outputting comprises:
- storing the plurality of scanned documents in a file folder that includes a single icon for the plurality of scanned documents;
- receiving a selection of the icon to print the document;
- automatically selecting the first one of the plurality of scanned documents in the first resolution to be printed;
- and
- causing the first one of the plurality of scanned documents to be printed.

A method for scanning a document on a multi-function device (MFD) to generate a scanned image in different resolutions, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a selection of a first workflow template to generate a plurality of scanned images in different resolutions with a single scan request of the document on the MFD, wherein the different resolutions for each one of the plurality of scanned images are user defined in the first workflow template, wherein a first scanned image of the plurality of scanned images in a highest resolution of the different resolutions is to be printed and a second scanned image of the plurality of scanned images in a second resolution of the different resolutions that is lower than the highest resolution is to be displayed on a monitor;
- receiving, by the processor, the document;
- causing, by the processor, a scanner to scan the document;
- generating, by the processor, the first scanned image at the highest resolution of the scanner;
- converting, by the processor, the first scanned image into the second scanned image at the second resolution via a second scan of the document;
- and
- storing, by the processor, the first scanned image and the second scanned image for display or printing in a file folder that includes a single icon for the for the first scanned image and the second scanned image;
- receiving, by the processor, a selection of the icon to print the document;
- automatically selecting, by the processor, the first scanned image in the first resolution to be printed;
- and
- causing, by the processor, the first scanned image to be printed.
