Abstract
Abstract Process for creating a library of addresses for use in addressing prints produced by an electronic printer and for selecting and editing addresses from one of the address libraries. More particularly, there is described set addressing process for use with an electronic printing system having a printer for making prints on a print media from image signals, memory means for storing the image signals, and programming means for programming said system to produce prints, characterised by providing a list of N addresses (173) for use in addressing prints produced by said printer, storing said list in said memory means, programming said printer to print one or more sets of N prints on said print media, accessing said address list in said memory means, and printing addresses (173) from said list successively on said prints as said prints are printed on said print media.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
Set addressing process for use with an electronic printing system (2) having a printer (8) for making prints on a print media from image signals, memory means (56) for storing the image signals, and programming means for programming said system (2) to produce prints, characterised by providing a list of N addresses (173) for use in addressing prints produced by said printer (8), storing said list in said memory means (56), programming said printer (8) to print one or more sets of N prints on said print media, accessing said address list in said memory means (56), and printing addresses (173) from said list successively on said prints as said prints are printed on said print media.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
Set addressing process for use with an electronic printing system (2) having a printer (8) for making prints on a print media from image signals, memory means (56) for storing the image signals, and programming means for programming said system (2) to produce prints, characterised by providing a list of N addresses (173) for use in addressing prints produced by said printer (8), storing said list in said memory means (56), programming said printer (8) to print one or more sets of N prints on said print media, accessing said address list in said memory means (56), and printing addresses (173) from said list successively on said prints as said prints are printed on said print media.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A set addressing process as claimed in claim 1, characterised by repeating the printing of addresses (173) from said list for each set of prints printed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, characterised by providing said addresses (173) in the form of at least one document original, scanning said document and converting said addresses (173) to image signals to provide said list of addresses (173), and storing said image data for said addresses list in said memory means (56).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, characterised by partitioning said addresses (173) in said address list from one another to allow said addresses (173) to be separately printed on said prints.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, characterised by adjusting the location at which said addresses (173) are printed on said prints.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, characterised by printing said addresses (173) from said address list in sequence onto said print media to provide a hard copy of said addresses (173).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6, characterised by merging predetermined ones of said address lists with one another, and printing said merged address lists on said print media to provide a hard copy of said merged addresses (173).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 7, characterised by editing said address list to change the addresses (173) or the relative position of said addresses (173) in said address lists.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8, characterised by editing said address lists to provide selected ones of said addresses (173) on said lists with special properties.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 9, characterised by obtaining said address lists from a remote source through a communication channel.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
95 words
Set addressing apparatus including in combination reading means (4) for scanning document originals to provide an electronic page of each document scanned, memory means (56) for storing said electronic pages, characterised by said memory means having at least one list of addresses (173) stored in advance, control means for successively addressing addresses (173) in said address list in said memory means (56) and combining said addresses (173) with successive ones of said electronic pages in said memory means (56) for printing, and printing means (8) for printing said combined electronic pages with said addresses (173).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
95 words
Set addressing apparatus including in combination reading means (4) for scanning document originals to provide an electronic page of each document scanned, memory means (56) for storing said electronic pages, characterised by said memory means having at least one list of addresses (173) stored in advance, control means for successively addressing addresses (173) in said address list in said memory means (56) and combining said addresses (173) with successive ones of said electronic pages in said memory means (56) for printing, and printing means (8) for printing said combined electronic pages with said addresses (173).
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
93 words
Set addressing means including in combination memory means (56) for storing at least one list of N addresses (173), scanning means (6) for scanning documents and converting said documents to N electronic pages for use in making prints of said documents, said memory means (56) for storing said image signals, characterised by control means for combining successive ones of said addresses (173) from said address list with successive ones of said electronic pages for printing, and printer means (8) for printing said electronic pages with said addresses (173) to provide N addressed prints.
