A print processor interfaces with a print job source such as an accounting system and a remote automated data processing system. The print processor comprises a print job source interface for receiving a sequence of documents from a print job source. The sequence of documents may comprise a first set of documents and a second set of documents. The first set of documents and the second set of documents may be mutually exclusive subsets of the sequence of documents. Each document of the first set may comprise data content to be directed to the remote automated data processing system. Each document of the second set may be directed to a printer. The print processor may establish a network session to the remote automated data processing system, authenticating to the remote automated data processing system, and transfer each document of the first set to the remote automated data processing system. The print processor may direct transfer of the second set to the printer.

System and method for transferring a portion of a document print sequence output by a print job source to an automated data processing system

A data capture system receives a sequence of document objects and, for each, writes output data values to a structure. A first tier extraction system is adapted to receive each document object. For each required data element, the first tier extraction system obtains identification of a positional element value from a positional data set that includes, as its data element, identification of the required data element; and, if the document object includes a qualifying text string, writes an output data value to the output data structure in association with identification of the required data element. A second tier extraction system receives each such document object that does not include a qualifying text string, performs character recognition on a graphical representation thereof and, for each required data element, writes an output data value to the output data structure in association with identification of the required data element.
