A system is provided for scanning batch-type documents containing indicia on either a single side or on two sides of each document sheet. Misfeeds through a scanning device are identified by comparison of an anticipated number of pages with an actual number of scanned pages. Similar misfeeds may be identified by comparison of first and second series of pages in two-sided documents. Automatic collating of scanned pages is then performed where desired. The automatic collating may be based upon simple interleaving of pages, or upon recognition of page identifiers, such as page numbers in common or anticipated regions of the page. The scanning, analysis and collating operations may be followed by other processing steps, including transmission of facsimiles, printing, copying, and so forth.

1. A system for processing scanned data comprising:a scanning circuit configured to detect discrete-regions of a plurality of document pages in a batch job and to generate scan data representative thereof; a memory circuit coupled to the scanning circuit for storing the scan data in separately identifiable pages, the pages being stored initially in a first order; a comparison circuit coupled to the memory circuit and configured to compare the number of scanned pages of the batch job to a predefined number; and an output circuit coupled to the comparison circuit and configured to generate a user alert when the number of scanned pages differs from the predefined number; wherein the scanning circuit, the memory circuit, the comparison circuit and the output circuit are included in a programmable scanning device.
