Abstract

A computerized information-processing system including a copying machine operatively associated with a computer having a data storage apparatus having a plurality of memory locations wherein the copying apparatus is capable of reading a coded pattern on an original placed on the copying machine and for generating an instruction input to the computer for reading data from selected memory locations, and apparatus, responsive to data received from the computer from the memory locations, for imprinting, at preselected locations on copying paper passing through the copying machine, information represented by such data to correspond to locations on the original sheet as it is being copied on the copying paper. In addition the copying machine has a sensor for reading markings placed on the copy containing the copy of the original and the imprinted data for producing instructions to the computer to modify selected data in selected memory locations.
