  • Edge marking for document identification
    Patent number: 8915187
    Abstract: A method receives a multi-page print job comprising content to be printed on sheets to produce a stack of printed sheets. Each of the sheets comprises sheet sides and sheet edges between the sheet sides, wherein the content is printed on at least one of the sheet sides. The method identifies a side mark to appear on at least one stack side of the stack of printed sheets (the stack side comprises the sheet edges). The method determines locations within the print job of side markings to be printed simultaneously with the content on the sheet sides (a combination of the side markings create the side mark).
