Abstract:
A storage apparatus for storing data on an output print produced by an image processing apparatus, comprising:(a) a memory coupled to the output print, said memory adapted to store computer-readable data associated with an image; (b) a transponder integrally coupled to said memory, said transponder adapted to receive a first electromagnetic field and, in response to the first electromagnetic field received thereby, generating a second electromagnetic field, the second electromagnetic field being characteristic of the data stored in said memory; (c) a transceiver spaced-apart from the output print for transmitting the first electromagnetic field and for sensing the second electromagnetic field; and (d) a logic processor coupled to said transceiver, said logic processor adapted to communicate with said transceiver for facilitating exchange of data between said transceiver and said memory.
