ABSTRACT:
Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for copying and printing completed template documents. For example, one method provides information regarding a document template sheet. The document template sheet comprises a media sheet having template markings thereon. The method scans a completed document to produce a scanned image. The completed document comprises a second media sheet having the template markings and additional markings. The method processes the scanned image to separate data relating to the additional markings from data relating to the template markings. Then the method can print/copy only the additional markings on blanks of the document template sheets. This avoids reprinting/recopying the template upon itself and saves resources because only the additional markings need to be processed through the temporary storage and printing engine.
