Brining in a scanned document through the browser goes beyond the basic functionality of the browser.
If you must stick with ASP.NET, you might consider writing an ActiveX control (IE only, I think) that can handle the scanning and interact with your web page.
You might also consider Silverlight. Although I don't think it can handle the scanning directly, you should be able to interface with COM components installed on the system to handle scanned streams.

Indeed, activex=IE only.

All of this = microsoft only. Very tempted to -1....

@incred Yes, my suggestions are indeed targeting MS solutions. The question mentions ASP.NET and C#, which are MS-driven technologies. I would be very interested in hearing of non-MS solutions, though personally I'm not aware of those solutions.

The wording is sort of ambiguous. Is the scanner on your side or the client's side? I understand that the result of the scan is saved on your client's side.
I assume that the scanner is on the client's side...
You can't access peripherals [ie: a scanner] via standard JavaScript... You can take advantage of ActiveX for IE only.
Why not write a small winforms application in c# and let your client download that?
By the way, if the client has a scanner on his/her side, the scanner will likely have come with software to manipulate the scanner...

Have you tried using an 3rd party scanning control such as LeadTools? I have used those controls in the past and worked wonderfully.
