Abstract
A document imaging system is configured to allow scanning and transmission of document images. A scanner system images a document and wirelessly transmits the image to a personal digital assistant (PDA). The PDA transmits the image to a document server located on a network. An authenticated user may then retrieve a scanned document image from the document server via the network. Because the scanner system and/or PDA may be located in a remote location, remote documents may be quickly presented for viewing by a user.
