1. A system for processing scanned data comprising: a scanning circuit configured to detect discrete regions of a plurality of document pages in a batch job and to generate scan data representative thereof; a memory circuit coupled to the scanning circuit for storing the scan data in separately identifiable pages, the pages being stored initially in a first order; a comparison circuit coupled to the memory circuit and configured to compare the number of scanned pages of the batch job to a predefined number; and an output circuit coupled to the comparison circuit and configured to generate a user alert when the number of scanned pages differs from the predefined number.
