Abstract

An electronic document-imaging arrangement which generates imaging-bits representing a given document and transfers these bits on a "per-document basis" to various successive electronic processing stages and, finally, to data base storage; this arrangement also including a tag unit adapted to create "sync-tag" bits unique for each such imaged document and transfer these tag bits, along with the imaging bits, for each document to each processing stage that handles the imaging bits on a per document basis, and finally to an associated interface for final matching and removal of the tag bits.
