ABSTRACT:
A printing system for automatically print-filling in an original form includes a scanner, a printer unit, an operator input unit, a display unit, a main processor and unit controllers. The original form is scanned to create a bitmap thereof that is stored in a first memory area as a first document including fill-in areas. A second blank document is created and stored in a second memory area. The first and second documents are displayed with the second document overlaying the first document. Required fill-in information is operator inputted onto the second document in areas thereof overlaying the fill-in areas in the first document. The original form is then loaded into the printer unit and the second document is selectively printed automatically onto the loaded original form.
