A reproduction apparatus for producing a copy of an original with added alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols in a predetermined location on the copy. The apparatus includes an operator control panel having a display screen for indicating certain standard selectable features for producing a copy, with plural displayed options for each feature. First assemblage is provided for altering the display on the screen to indicate a displayed selected option and for generating a first set of signals representing selected options of the standard features. Circuitry is provided for altering the display on the screen to display a set of alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols, and second assemblage for altering the display on the screen to indicate one or more selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols and for generating a second set of signals representing selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols. Devices responsive to the first and second set of signals produce a copy having the one or more selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols in a predetermined location on the reproduced copy.
