Page number generation and formatting in electronic reprographic/printing products.

摘要

A page numbering system in an electronic reprographic printing system generates page numbers and formats. The page numbering system not only aids in page identification and position verification in the printing process, but additionally allows for programming the page numbering format to vary the page number position on the printed page, and for skipping of nondocument pages. The electronic reprographic printing system also includes a user interface such as a touch screen, keyboard or mouse for allowing the system operator to program parameters of the page numberings into the reprographic system. Default parameters are specified when the system operator fails to input particular page numbering parameters.
