ABSTRACT:
A system and method for assembling all components of a page to be printed, such as a full newspaper page consisting of both text and illustrations. The end product can be a positive or negative image on paper or film, or a final printing plate. The uniqueness of the invention resides in the combination of text matter directly from a computer memory with illustrations physically stored on part of a device. A photoelectric transducer scans the illustrative copy to generate electronic signals in real-time. These electronic signals are combined with the electronic signals generated by the computer text through a logic circuit so that each item is transmitted through a recording means such as a recording (writing) laser to provide the proper image, in the proper page location on the recorder surface. The approach of the invention is a machine with illustrative copy working jointly with a computer containing text matter that outputs the completed page, with each component in its proper position, through a writing device.
