Abstract

A page is automatically created and transmitted in response to data defining set of images. The data define an image showing a form that has been marked; the data also include information indicating an image destination. The page includes a segment that is a version of an image from the marked form. The page can be another form, a cover sheet, or an error sheet, for example. The segment can be a reduced version of the marked form, such as on an error sheet. Or the segment can be a version of the contents of a field in the marked form, such as on a form, a cover sheet, or a listing sheet. The field can be a cover note field, and if the processor determines that the cover note field has been marked, it can automatically create a cover sheet that includes a segment that is a version of an image of the cover note field. The field can be an identifier field. The processor can create a form with a request field that includes a segment that is a version of an image of the identifier field, identifying an item in relation to which an operation can be requested, such as the recipient of facsimile transmission or a document being facsimile transmitted; or the processor can create a cover sheet with a segment that is a version of an image of the identifier field; or the processor can create a listing sheet in which each item's entry includes a segment that is a version of an image of the item's identifier field. The image destination can be indicated by a check mark in a recipient field, by check marks indicating the telephone number of a fax machine, or by data from a transmitting fax machine indicating the fax machine's telephone number.
