ABSTRACT:
Document distribution system 10 receives user record documents 10R containing record data 10D for distribution and storage throughout a user network 10N. Controller 10C controls the operation of the document distribution system. A transmittal sheet 10T carrying transmittal symbol accompanies each record document for directing the distribution. Document scanner 10S has a document port 10P for receiving the user documents and transmittal sheets. The document scanner is responsive to the controller for scanning the transmittal symbols on the transmittal sheet and the record data on the documents. The scanner provides an electronic pixel image of the record data for distribution and storage throughout the user network. The scanner also provides a pixel image of the transmittal symbols for directing the distribution and storage. Controller display 12 is responsive to the controller for displaying operational information about the document distribution system to the user. User response device 14 is connected to the controller for permitting the user to initiate and operate the document distribution system.
