Abstract
Systems and methods for obtaining and linking scanned images are disclosed. An exemplary system includes an imaging device. The imaging device includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions are stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to implement a method. A first scanned image of a multi-page document is obtained. The first scanned image is stored in the memory and is sent to a destination device. A second scanned image of the multi-page document is obtained. The second scanned image is stored in the memory of the imaging device such that the first scanned image is not needed. The second scanned image is sent to the destination device. The second scanned image is linked to the first scanned image in a logical multi-page scanned image wherein the first scanned image and the second scanned image are not in the same electronic file.
