1. A rendering method, comprising:
- selecting a single functional instruction from among a plurality of functional instructions provided by a rendering device in order to scan a plurality of documents located on a document platen associated with said rendering device and thereby create via said rendering device, a representation of said plurality of documents;
automatically dividing said representation of said plurality of documents into a left half and a right half in response to selecting said single functional instruction; and
rendering said representation of said plurality of documents via said rendering device, wherein said left half and said right half of said representation of said plurality of documents are rendered on separate substrates, thereby creating a full glass scan to simplex copy of said plurality of documents.

Abstract
A rendering method, system and program product. A single functional instruction among a plurality of functional instructions can be provided by a rendering device and selected by a user in order to scan a document platen associated with the rendering device, thereby creating via the rendering device, a representation of the scanned documents. The representation of documents can be automatically divided into a left half and a right half. Thereafter, the representation of the documents can be rendered such that the left half and the right half of the representation of the documents are rendered on separate substrates, thereby creating a full glass scan to simplex copy of the documents.

8. A computer implemented system for rendering a document, comprising:
-
a data-processing apparatus; a module executed by said data-processing apparatus, said module and said data-processing apparatus being operable in combination with one another to; permit a user to select a single functional instruction from among a plurality of functional instructions provided by a rendering device in order to scan a plurality of documents located on a document platen associated with said rendering device and thereby create via said rendering device, a representation of said plurality of documents; automatically divide said representation of said plurality of documents into a left half and a right half in response to selecting said single functional instruction; and render said representation of said plurality of documents via said rendering device, wherein said left half and said right half of said representation of said plurality of documents are rendered on separate substrates, thereby creating a full glass scan to simplex copy of said plurality of documents. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
