A document processing system is provided that renders digital image data i n individual pages, where each individual page is rendered to a bitmap page an d a corresponding control string. The system includes a system architecture with a control channel for communicating and synchronizing the control strings at one or mo re process stations in an image output terminal (IOT). Further, the system architecture includes a cross channel rendering technique ("dual rendering") for constructing the control string in such a manner as to verify process correctness at one or more process station. In addition, a method is provided for setting up and controlling one or more process stations prio r to normal operations. Still another method is provided for controlling one or more process stations during normal operations. Finally, a method is provided for archiving documents in an archive station during normal operations for potential retrieval and referen ce at a later date. |
