Abstract

The strip of originals to be copied is transported, prior to copying, through an evaluation station. There, the originals are evaluated with respect to density, color, copiability, or the like. A discrete strip-shaped information carrier is connected to the strip of originals and runs along the length of the strip of originals. The connection is effected either upstream of the evaluation station or at the evaluation station. Information derived from the evaluations performed at the evaluation station is entered upon the information carrier alongside the associated ones of the originals.
