Abstract
A digital page imaging (DPI) system receives customer transmitted technical document files produced on a desktop publishing package and ensures that the documents are produced properly. The system provides an easy to use interface, reduces turnaround time in processing customer work, and eliminates errors associated with manual imposition processes. The DPI system consists of a work station, modem and related telecommunication link, a photo typesetter and a software package for automatically imposing flats for printing on the typesetter.
