Method of printing a second document via a first document
First Claim
1. A method of printing a second document from a computer system via:
- a first document including an interface, the interface including visible textual information and substantially invisible first coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the first document and a position of that tag on the first document; and
a handheld optically imaging sensor, which, when the sensor is placed by the user into an operative position relative to the interface to designate at least some of the textual information, generates indicating data indicative of the position of the sensor relative to the first document using at least some of the sensed coded data;
the method including the steps of, in the computer system;
receiving the indicating data from the sensor;
determining the second document with which the indicating data is associated; and
causing the second document to be printed by a printer, the second printed document including visible textual information and substantially invisible second coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the second document and a position of that tag on the second document.

Abstract
A method of printing a second document from a computer system is provided. The method makes use of a first document and a handheld optically imaging sensor. The first document includes an interface, the interface including visible textual information and substantially invisible first coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the first document and a position of that tag on the first document. The sensor generates indicating data indicative of the position of the sensor relative to the first document using sensed coded data. The method includes the steps of, in the computer system: (a) receiving the indicating data from the sensor; (b) determining the second document with which the indicating data is associated; and (c) causing the second document to be printed by a printer. The second printed document includes visible textual information and substantially invisible second coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the second document and a position of that tag on the second document.

11. A system for printing a second document from a computer system via:
-
a first document including an interface, the interface including visible textual information and substantially invisible first coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the first document and a position of that tag on the first document; and a handheld optically imaging sensor, which, when the sensor is placed by the user into an operative position relative to the interface to designate at least some of the textual information, generates indicating data indicative of the position of the sensor relative to the first document using at least some of the sensed coded data; the computer system being configured to; receive the indicating data from the sensor; determine the second document with which the indicating data is associated; and send the second document to a printer to be printed, the second printed document including visible textual information and substantially invisible second coded data in the form of one or more tags, each tag defining unique coded data identifying the second document and a position of that tag on the second document. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
