Abstract:
1. A method for production of a plurality of printed documents each having a unique identifier by use of a high-speed printer, comprising the steps of: providing a file with information to be printed on each of the printed documents, said file not having said unique identifier stored therein prior to a printing of said information on each of said documents; providing a recording medium with the transponder for each document to be printed on the medium, said transponders being capable of being electronically read without contact at said high-speed printer, and one of said unique identifiers being stored in unchangeable fashion in an electronic storage region of each of said transponders; printing said information for each document from said file onto said recording medium with said high-speed printer to create each of the said printed documents and reading said unique identifier from each of said transponders; if said unique identifier could not be successfully read from the transponder, storing in a reprint list file an identification of the printed document having the not successfully read transponder; linking said unique identifiers read from said transponders in said file with each of said document information printed on each of said documents; and by use of said reprint list file, automatically instituting a reprinting of said document information but associated with a new one of said transponders for each printed document having said not successfully read transponder.
