Embodiment Construction

[0027]In FIG. 1, a printing line 1 is shown comprising an electrophotographic printer 2, which receives paper from an unwinding roll 3 and delivers documents printed on fanfold paper web 5 to a winding roll 4. The printer 2 receives a print data stream from a data source 15 (host computer) via a direct data line 130 or via a state-of-the-art computer network (LAN,WAN) 12. Documents printed in the printer 2 are provided with a bar code and / or magnetic characters. The bar code is read by a laser-based bar code scanner 6, which is located within the printer 2 or between printer 2 and winding roll 4. A MICR reader 20 may also be provided at printer 2 for reading the magnetic characters. Documents having passed the first checkpoint 7 are forwarded to a second checkpoint 7a, where optical information, that is, images or characters, printed on the paper web, are being checked by a CCD camera 9. Bar code scanner 6, CCD camera 9, and MICR reader 20 may exchange data with a workflow managemen...

Abstract

In a multifunctional printing method and printing system, printed material is checked, verified and tracked. For that purpose different test equipments are located in-line with a printing line. Magnetic information being printed by a printing station onto the recording carrier using magnetic ink character readable toner may be in-line tested by a magnetic test equipment, which reads information from the magnetic recording zone on the carrier. Optical information may be tested by an in-line mounted optical test equipment, respectively. Further in-line test equipment is proposed such as a leaser bar code scanner and an address reader. The printing line may have additional devices such as print preprocessing unwinders or print postprocessing stackers, folders or cutters.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]An electrophotographic printing system adapted to use various developer stations for different kinds of toner has been described by the Applicants of the present application already in WO-A-99 / 24877 (U.S. Ser. No. 09 / 254,292, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,236,816).[0002]This application is a continuation-in-part of previous application Ser. No. 09 / 394,546 filed Sep. 13, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,137,967, for “Document Verification And Tracking System For Printed Material”.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]This invention relates to printing systems. In particular, the invention relates to a printing system which is adapted to produce printed documents with high speed, whereby the printing data are provided from a variable print data source and the printing system is a kind of production line.[0004]In today's high speed printing environment the assurance of document verification and process control is increasing. However, according to a further demand, the printing speed ...
