Abstract
A form processing system makes it easier to handle forms generated in conjunction with product sales and thereby improves overall productivity. This form processing system processes forms generated in conjunction with product sales using a form printeras a form printing unit for printing forms using a form format suitable to the product purchased by a customer and specific form configuration data that is added to the form format. A receipt generatorused as a form reading unit then reads a completed form and generates form image data from the completed form. The completed form is a form that was printed by the form printer and then had additional information relating to the product sale recorded on the form. A form management databaseused as a form image storage unit then stores the form image data generated by the receipt generator. The productivity of forms processing and management is thus improved.
