Abstract
Apparatus(es) and method(s) relating generally to marking an organization of papers. In one such method, obtained is a printer configured to print a stack barcode with a diagonal bar to provide a progression of page position indicators. The stack barcode is printed with the progression of the position indicators along edges of the papers in a stack to provide a line of the position indicators for the diagonal bar along a side of the stack. In one such apparatus, a printer is configured to print a stack barcode with a progression of position indicators. The printer is configured to print the stack barcode with the progression of the position indicators along edges of the papers in a stack to provide a line of the position indicators.
Claims18
A method for marking an organization of papers, comprising:
- obtaining a printer configured to print a stack barcode with a diagonal bar to provide a progression of page position indicators indicating a sequence order of papers in a stack;
- and
- printing the stack barcode with the progression of the position indicators along edges of the papers in the stack to provide a line of the position indicators for the diagonal bar along a side of the stack.
An apparatus for marking an organization of papers, comprising:
- a printer configured to print a stack barcode with a progression of position indicators;
- the printer configured to print the stack barcode with the progression of the position indicators along edges of the papers in a stack to provide a line of the position indicators indicating a sequence order of the papers in the stack;
- wherein the stack barcode includes a batch identifier and a sub-batch identifier;
- and
- wherein the printer is configured to increment the sub-batch identifier responsive to movement of a printhead of the printer with respect to a side of the stack.
A scanning system for marking an organization of papers, comprising:
- a conveyor for receipt and conveying of a stack of papers;
- a printing subsystem having a printer configured to print a stack barcode with a progression of position indicators;
- the printer configured to print the stack barcode with the progression of the position indicators along edges of the papers in the stack to provide a line formed of the position indicators;
- and
- a scanner configured to receive pages of the stack each with a portion of the stack barcode and the position indicators for scanning the papers to identify a sequence order of the papers in the stack responsive to the stack barcode and the position indicators.
