An electronic reprographic apparatus which enables the speed of manual or semi-automatic imaging of signature-type original documents to be increased, and which has the ability to selectively control the areas of the documents to be imaged. In particular, the apparatus enables the user to identify the type of input document (330), including size and image cropping dimensions (340, 344), thereby eliminating the potential for imaging beyond document edges or in bound document gutter regions. In addition, the system is suitable for scanning both page sides (A, B) of a first signature-type document on the first pass of the scan array and is capable of scanning a second signature-type document on the reverse or return pass. Furthermore, the system implements the scanning operation with a center registration technique, facilitating the registration of bound documents. <IMAGE> |
