Abstract:
An apparatus includes an electronic scanner for scanning a set of original document pages to be reproduced as a production job. The scanner produces first signals representing image information on the document pages. An operator control panel (OCP) allows input of job and page level requirements for copying the set of documents pages as a copy job and generates second and third signals respectively representing these. A job image buffer is responsive to the first, second and third signals and stores fourth signals representing image information for use in reproducing the set of document pages. There is also provided a buffer for generating fifth signals representing consecutive numbers for use in annotating copies of the document pages. In response to the fourth and fifth signals, the copier produces a proof set of consecutively numbered hard copy pages of the set of document pages with consecutive numbered annotations not present on the original document pages. The apparatus then prompts the operator via a display screen to input a number on one of the consecutively numbered pages and an operator selectable page level requirement for changing a requirement for reproducing an original page in said set corresponding to said one page. After a proof set is formed, the original page having a requirement to be changed may be re-scanned. The copier then produces collated copy sets of the set of document pages as a copy job with the original page reproduced according to the changed requirement.

Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus is disclosed which, in a standby condition, displays the date and time, in a transmission mode displays the name of a receiving facsimile apparatus and the page number, prints out the name of the receiving apparatus, time of transmission, number of sheets transmitted, occurrence of failures on the facsimile and the like, and adds the time of transmission, name of the receiving apparatus and page number to video data to be transmitted, and in a reception mode displays the name of a transmitting apparatus and page number while printing out the name of the transmitting apparatus, time of reception, page number, occurrence of failures on the facsimile and the like. The size of extra data to be added to video data is varied at a transmitting apparatus depending on the type of a receiving apparatus: a comparatively large size for an analog (G II) type apparatus and a comparatively small size for a digital (G III) type apparatus. The positional relationship among extra data in the horizontal scan direction is automatically varied to match with a specific sheet width employed at a receiving apparatus. Only those portions of video data read from a document necessary for reproduction of extra data are occupied by the extra data on a copy sheet, thereby allowing a minimum of video data reproduced from a document to be lost.
