A document processing system is disclosed in which each different form of document bears a machine readable identification unique to that document form and a printer for printing on the documents includes a reader to read the identification. The reading of the identification enables verification that the correct document to be processed has been correctly orientated in the printer. The system is described for use in producing a set of documents in respect of a consignment of items to be carried by one of a number of different carrier services. In response to input of data relating to a consignment of items the system determines the forms required to be inserted sequentially into the printer and, upon verification that the required form is correctly inserted, operates the printer to print data on that form. <IMAGE> |
