Maschine und Verfahren zur Dokumentbehandlung

摘要

A table top image based document processing machine (10) operates in conjunction with a computer (12). The document processing machine (10) includes a document track (18), a programmable transport mechanism (26) for moving a document (24) bi-directionally within the track (18), front and back imagers (52-1,52-2) for imaging the front and rear of the document (24), and front and back printers (66,68) for endorsing data on the front and the back of the document (24). Each printer (66,68) includes a print head which moves perpendicularly to the document feed direction, such that graphic images as well as alphanumeric characters can be printed. The machine (10) in conjunction with the computer (12) can be used for generating logos, creating checks, performing remittance processing, imaging and reading checks and other bank teller operations.
