Abstract
A data processing form for providing control information to apparatus, such as facsimile machines, having a scanner. The form has darkened areas which establish a row and column format with an elongate edge mark provided for each row. The edge marks extend to the edge of the form. Areas to be filled in by a user are defined using some of the darkened areas. The form format minimizes the software needed for circuitry used to process the information obtained from the form serving to reduce the time needed to scan the form.
