An automatic slide feeder according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise a housing configured to define an input slide tray, an output slide tray and a scan slide tray. A slide actuator operatively associated with the housing moves a slide from the input slide tray to the scan slide tray. A control system operatively associated with the slide actuator and a document scanner operates the document scanner to scan a slide positioned in the scan slide tray and operates the slide actuator to move a new slide from the input slide tray to the scan slide tray after the slide positioned in the scan slide tray has been scanned.

An intent file describes an intent that is set on an image acquisition device, a computer, or web site. The image intent file is capable of storage in a storage device of an information handling system. The intent file complies with a markup language grammar structure that emulates the image acquisition device's physical structure. The image intent file associates an image with the image acquisition device and associates an intent with the image. The structure of the intent file specifies the physical structure of the image acquisition device and allows for distributed intent execution. A profile describes and creates a base architecture for creating and executing intent on the image acquisition device. The image intent file specifies intent specific to a particular image contained in the image acquisition device memory.
