SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PRINTING AND INSERTING INDEX DIVIDERS INTO ONE OR MORE DOCUMENTS

摘要

The user on his computer selects and designs the tab dividers including the text to be printed on the tabs thereof (206). The user indicates where each of the dividers is to be located in an existing electronic document (or in a series of to-be-combined documents) to thereby form an electronic divided document (218). At the desired time, the user clicks the "print" button and a printer operatively connected to the computer is thereby instructed to automatically print (250) the dividers from a printer first feed tray and to print the document(s) from pages in a printer second feed tray and to output the final collated divided document (262), corresponding to the electronic divided document. Advantageously, no subsequent manual collating step is need.
