ABSTRACT:
A document distribution terminal is organized with two supervisory processing units, one to control the data entry and data printing and the other to control the terminal. Each of these processing units only performs control functions. All of the data processing is performed by various specialized devices preparing the document data for transmission or for printing. Further, the terminal is organized with two interfaces and an adapter coupling the two interfaces. The terminal-controlling processing unit supervises one interface that interconnects all of the specialized devices. The other processing unit, that controls the data entry and data printing devices, supervises the second interface. Once the supervisory processing units have set up a job in the terminal, the data transfer across the two interfaces is substantially under the control of logic in the adapter.
