    摘要: A method of, and system for, selectively reordering the reprinting of books on one or more electronic presses are disclosed. In one embodiment, sensors and a processor are utilized to reorder books fouled by an auxiliary device. In another embodiment, a sensor, and a global processor in communication with first and second local processors respectively associated with first and second printing presses are utilized to reorder books on one of the first and second printing presses selected to minimize processing time and/or to maximize postal rate discounts. In another embodiment, a sensor and a press processor are utilized to reorder errored books by inserting a book back into a stream of books being printed if re-printing the book with the stream entitles the errored book to a predefined postal discount.

    摘要: The present invention comprises an apparatus and method for reproducing master and variable information, including variable graphics information, on a display device, such as a computer network or a demand printer. Variable graphics information is stored in a database. A user is prompted to specify graph parameters (i.e. graph type, size, labels, etc.) or default values are used. Template page files containing fixed information and placeholders for variable information are generated. Image boxes are used as placeholders for variable graphics information and an executable graph file is placed in the image boxes. A text box containing the specified graph parameters and variable graphics information from the database is layered over the image box and “tagged” to specify that it contains variable graphics information. During interpretation of the page file, an interpreter (RIP) determines if a text box is “tagged” and, if so, executes the graph file to generate a graph using the specified graph parameters and variable graphics information from the database.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for controlling an electronic press develops first and second sets of template data representing associated first and second template pages, respectively. Each set of template data includes master data representing fixed information to be printed and area data representing an area of a page in which variable information is to be printed. A database is developed having a number of entries, each of which represents variable printed information. An electronic press is responsive to sets of template data and the database to print the first and second template pages with selected variable printed information.

    摘要: A software system is useful for generating page files from a template file and database entries. The database entries are representative of variable information and the template file includes data designating a first variable text area and a second variable text area. The software system includes a computer-readable medium storing a software program having first, second, and third routines. The first routine selects a record from the database, while the second routine associates the first variable text area with the contents of an entry in the selected record and associates the second variable text area with one of a plurality of text files. The third routine generates the page files from the template file, the text files, and the database.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for assembling fulfillment pieces with custom documents in an efficient manner. The fulfillment pieces, which may have fixed and/or variable information, are produced in line on the same press as the custom documents. This "on demand" fulfillment is accomplished through the manipulation of an original database containing document recipient information. The database manipulation includes adding records (rows) or columns to the original database to represent the custom document and the fulfillment pieces. The modified databases are used to create press command files, which are combined according to the configuration of the database to produce ordered output from a press.
