Abstract
A method and system for preparing image access cards to be used with an image access system. The image access system utilizes a storage medium containing the images and a reference table which includes a series of reference numbers associated with the storage address of each image. The method of making the image access documents utilizes the steps of placing the images on the storage medium, assigning a reference number to each image, and constructing the reference table. Several variations in the construction of the image access document are available. A printer may be used to print a human readable representation of the image and a machine readable form of the reference number directly onto a supportive substrate. Preprinted cards may be provided with the machine readable reference numbers thereon, and the human readable representation may be printed by a printer, hand drawn, or applied by way of a sticker. Tags, such as adhesive labels or transparent envelopes, may have the reference number printed thereon and be used in conjunction with the substrate having the human readable representation. A system for preparing the foregoing constructions advantageously employs a processor r…
