            Appeal 2007-0933                                                      Page 5                    
            Application 10/310,733                                                                          

                   the process for franking the cover by recto-verso printing the documents at              
                   will based upon the threshold determination, since Bucci teaches that having             
                   the process for franking the cover by recto-verso printing the documents at              
                   will in case a value (and the computed value) related to the weight of said              
                   documents exceeds postal threshold would be beneficial for the purpose of                
                   adopting an effecting economical system to save money on papers and                      
                   postage.                                                                                 
            (Answer 4-5).                                                                                   
            8.     Appellant acknowledges the Bucci passage of col. 1, lines 36-42, reproduced              
            above and adds that “[i]t does not seem to require much research to determine that              
            printing on both sides of the paper will allow double the pages of text to be printed           
            on the same number of pages of paper when compared to single sided printing.”                   
            (Br. 10).                                                                                       
            9.     But Appellant disagrees with the Examiner’s finding that the Bucci passage               
            of col. 1, lines 36-42, suggests recto-verso printing a document based on a postal              
            threshold determination.  (Br. 10).                                                             
            10. Appellant argues that                                                                       
                         The Examiner cites to the passage of Bucci ‘089 described above                    
                   which merely recites the known property of printing that you can fit twice as            
                   many pages of printed text on a two sided document.  Bucci does not suggest              
                   determining if a value exceeds a threshold and then taking action based upon             
                   that determination by deciding whether to recto-verso print the document                 
                   based upon such a determination.  Bucci clearly teaches away from the                    
                   teaching of Claim 1 by teaching that two-sided printing is always preferable             
                   for environmental reasons.                                                               

            (Br. 13).
