ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for producing selectively edited reproductions of an original document wherein areas of information on the original are bounded and alphanumerically character-coded with the use of a highlighting means to designate the area for editing. The highlighted originals are serially passed during a copy run over an image scanner that is sensitive to the highlighted portions. The selected areas and the character codes are recognized and the image information is stored in a bit map. In one embodiment an original is imaged onto two image frames of an electrostatically-charged image-bearing member. Character recognition of the character codes allows the selected areas to be deleted, repositioned, selectively screened, or filled with a screen tint. Combinations of modalities may be indicated using appropriate combinations of character codes. The image frames are developed and transferred in register to a copy sheet to provide a reproduction according to the treatment mode indicated. In another embodiment the information is electronically scanned onto the image-bearing member using an LED or laser light source and the appropriate image frames exposed in accordance with the highlighting on the documents.
