Abstract
A process for repairing common defects in the electronic page images of a print job being processed by an electronic reprographic system that includes a printer for producing prints from the digitized page images in response to job program instructions and a user interface (UI) with display screen for inputting job program instructions for each print job. The process uses document defect repair templates, either existing or created by the operator and stored in a system library, to electronically mask document defects in the page images. Additionally, the process is applicable before or after hardcopy original documents have been scanned by the reprographic system.
