Abstract:
1. A method of enabling composition of a facsimile by a user and delivery thereof, the method including the steps of: providing a form to the user, the form printed onto at least one paper surface, the form including visible information relating to the user and at least one area for the user to enter a message, the at least one paper surface having invisible coded data indicative of an identity of the form and of the at least one area, wherein the visible information and the invisible coded data are printed substantially simultaneously and wherein at the time of printing a computer system associates the type and spatial extent of the coded data with the spatial extent of at least some of the visible information; receiving, in a computer system, interaction data from a sensing device used to compose the message, the interaction data being indicative of an identity of the form and a position of the sensing device relative to the area on the paper surface, the sensing device, when placed operatively relative to the area in order to compose the message, generating the interaction data based at least partially on sensing at least some of the coded data in the vicinity of the position; capturing electronically, in the computer system and from the interaction data, at least the message, and transmitting the message to a designated recipient address for facsimile delivery.
