Method of generating a second mail item in response to a first mail item
First Claim
1. A method of generating a second mail item in response to a first mail item, the first mail item comprising a printed interface surface having visible information and coded data printed thereon, the coded data being indicative of the identity of the first mail item and of a plurality of map locations on the surface, the method including the steps of:
- receiving, in the computer system, indicating data from an optically imaging pen, the indicating data including data regarding the identity of the first mail item and data regarding a position of a nib of the pen relative to the printed surface, the pen generating the indicating data using at least some of the printed coded data optically sensed by the pen; and
generating the second mail item using the indicating data from the pen.

Abstract
A method of generating a second mail item in response to a first mail item is provided. The first mail item comprises a printed interface surface having visible information and coded data disposed thereon. The coded data is indicative of the identity of the first mail item and of a plurality of map references of the surface. The method including the steps of: (a) receiving, in the computer system, indicating data from an optically imaging sensing device, the indicating data including data regarding the identity of the mail item and data regarding a position of the sensing device relative to the surface, the sensing device generating the indicating data using at least some of the coded data; and (b) generating the second mail item using the indicating data from the sensing device.
