A method and a multi-function machine are provided for generating and arranging thumbnails corresponding to scanned documents. The thumbnails are printed on a sheet in accordance with a particular arrangement for enabling an operator to view and easily discern any scanning problems, or incorrect scanning settings. In particular, the multi-function machine includes a scanning assembly; a printing assembly; a thumbnail generation and arrangement module configured to generate thumbnails corresponding to documents scanned by the scanning assembly, said thumbnail generation and arrangement module further configured to arrange the thumbnails for printing by the printing assembly; and at least one processor configured to sense the completion of a document scanning procedure by the scanning assembly and, prior to or after the completion of the document scanning procedure, to automatically actuate said printing assembly for printing the arranged thumbnails.
