Claim One:
1. A system for editing, reading, and quantizing images on an imaged side of a document without repositioning the document, comprising: A. an edit unit, including a sensory responsive region disposed to receive the document in selected orientation thereon and an edit reference coordinate, for producing an edit set of coordinate signals representative of the coordinates of sensory inputs applied thereto; B. a scanner device, including a scanner reference coordinate in alignment with the edit reference coordinate, for optically scanning the imaged side of the document and for generating image data and a scanner set of coordinate signals corresponding to the position of the images on the document disposed on the sensory responsive region; C. correlation means coupled to receive the edit set of coordinate signals and the scanner set of coordinate signals for selectively altering a portion of the image data associated with the correlated edit set and scanner set of coordinate signals and for generating altered image data; and D. output means coupled to receive the altered image data for generating a representation of the images on the imaged side of the document, including the altered portion of the images associated with the edit set of coordinate signals.
