Simultaneously Scanning Multiple Checks
First Claim
1. A method for simultaneous scanning of multiple checks with a flatbed scanner, the method comprising the acts of:
- i) scanning a front side of a transparent sleeve on a flatbed scanner in order to create a first image of first sides of multiple checks, the sleeve having multiple pockets with one of the checks positioned in each pocket, the sleeve further having multiple alignment markings on the front side and a back side of the sleeve;
ii) scanning the back side of the sleeve on the flatbed scanner in order to create a second image of second sides of the multiple checks;
iii) determining from the respective positions of the alignment markings on the first image and on the second image that the sleeve was rotated between scans; and
iv) automatically rotating one of the first and second images to match the other image in order to substantially align each front/back check image pair.

Abstract
Simultaneous scanning of multiple checks. In one example embodiment, a method for simultaneous scanning of multiple checks with a flatbed scanner includes several acts. First, a front side of a transparent sleeve is scanned on a flatbed scanner in order to create a first image. The sleeve has multiple pockets with a check positioned in each pocket. The sleeve further has multiple alignment markings on the front side and on a back side of the sleeve. Next, the back side of the sleeve is scanned on the flatbed scanner in order to create a second image. Then, it is determined from the respective positions of the alignment markings on the first image and on the second image that the sleeve was rotated between scans. Finally, one of the first and second images is automatically rotated to match the other image in order to align each front/back check image pair.
