Title:
混合フォーマットフィニッシュデバイス
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3881846
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A hybrid mixed format document that contains document portions prepared by different format sources, such as both black and white and colored pages, prepared by separately printing the colored pages on a color printer, and the black and white pages on a black and white printer. The two document portions are then put in separate locations within a mixed format finishing device. One of the document portions, for example the black and white document portion, includes a cover sheet that provides encoded information, which tells the finishing device how to merge the two document portions into a complete publication. One advantage of the mixed format finishing device is that those pages that contain only text may be printed on a faster, and less costly black and white printer. In a preferred embodiment, the cover sheet controls the document merging process in such a manner that if one document is misprinted or mismerged, the mismerged document may be shuttled aside and merging may continue with the next complete document set.
