Patent attributes
Apparatus (1) for generating images includes a reading device (2, 7), an output device (22, 26), a sorting device (9) and a control device (21). Image information of several images (A1 to A6, AX, AY) is read from input media and image data is produced that contains the read image information. The input media are assigned to several image production orders. Using the output device (22, 26), the image information that has been transferred to this device is output onto recording material. The input media are physically sorted in the sorting device (9) by order according to at least one prescribed criterion. Using the control device (21) the sequence for transferring the image data of images can then be determined in dependence upon the previously carried out sorting by order of the read input media.
