Encoded sheet material and system for processing

摘要

An encoded sheet material includes a sheet of material (10) having a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite the first surface and an edge (11,13) extending between the first surface and the second surface and peripherally about the sheet of material, the edge having indicia (12) arranged thereon to form a code uniquely identifying the sheet of material. A system for managing an encoded sheet of material, includes a code reader (30) operative in conjunction with the encoded sheet of material for reading the code, a sheet processing apparatus (110) for reading information from and/or writing information to at least one of the first and second surfaces, and a processor in communication with the code reader device and the sheet processing apparatus for associating the information with the read code.
