Abstract: A document issuing apparatus wherein images of different forms and images of data to be printed on the forms are produced and stored in a memory. The form images and data images are combined and edited to produce a series of slip images. A printing device prints the slip images on a sequence of documents. The sequence of documents is examined by a checking device to determine if the documents have been printed in the proper order.

Abstract: A document issuing apparatus wherein images of different forms and images of data to be printed on the forms are stored in memory. Form images and data images are combined, edited, and printed to produce a series of sets of transaction control slips in an order dependent upon classification information contained in the data to be printed.

Abstract: A high speed copying machine transports a sheet from a sheet stack to a stop gate at very high speed, and then transports the sheet from the stop gate to a transfer point on the drum at a speed matching the peripheral speed of the drum. The time required to rotate a point on the drum from the exposure position to the transfer point is actually greater than the time required to transport a sheet from the sheet stack to the stop gate, which is very near the transfer point.

Abstract: A document processing method is disclosed wherein blank forms are read by an image input device, and the format thereof is stored in a memory. Additional information for filling in the form is input in the same manner, and the information is electronically overlaid using a control device for the memory, so that a completed form is stored in the memory for output by a printing device. With the invention, once the blank form is input to the device, further blank forms are unnecessary.

Abstract: A slip processing apparatus especially adapted for generating transportation slips from gift purchase applications in a department store.

The gift purchase application contains a plurality of consignee of addressee entries and a single entry of the consignor or requesting person. Editing means distributes the data from the gift purchase application onto the transportation slips so that each transportation slip bears the name of both the consignee and consignor.
