Abstract

A method of controlling a scanning device using control sheets. The scan job is started and the control image is located. The control image is decoded, either as part of the locating step or part of a processing step. The output is created either after the processing step, where the output is created in accordance with the control instructions decoded from the control image, or prior to the processing of the control instruction.
