ABSTRACT:
A scanner (12), computer (2), and printer (13) are preferably combined within a single housing (1). The scanner (12) optically scans an input paper document (11) into a storage buffer (22) within the computer (2). The scanned information (22) is edited by automatic means (21), human-activated means (23, 3), or some combination thereof. The edited information is printed by the printer (13) onto the original input paper document (11). A single preferably linear paper transport mechanism (4) is used to move the document (11) through the scanner (12) and the printer (13). An authentication code (14, 16) may be superimposed onto the document (11) to prevent the unauthorized editing thereof.
