Abstract
This invention is directed to autonomous document scanning operations. A scanning device and one or more stacks of documents may use motors to autonomously move the documents into position to be scanned by the scanner. The scanning device may detect properties of the documents while scanning. Multiple stacks of documents may be scanned in this manner with minimal user intervention, eliminating the need for manual intervention when scanning groups of documents.
