          Application No. 09/134,977                                                  


          page 1, identifies each group of documents shown there as a                 
          particular mailpiece to include at least control document CD,               
          each of which includes code BC, the more complex version of which           
          serves as a pointer to a mailpiece record which in turn contains            
          information for controlling a physical inserter of the documents.           
          In association with appellant’s contribution in the art shown in            
          Figure 2, element 46 comprises a printed document set discussed             
          at specification, page 7, lines 22 to 33.  Document set 46                  
          includes control documents CD and associated documents P.                   
          Control Documents are marked with bar code pointers to mailpiece            
          records in the same manner as discussed earlier as a part of the            
          prior art.                                                                  
               The focus of the claimed invention is set forth briefly at             
          specification, page 7, line 44 through page 8, line 3 where it is           
          indicated that the data processing system 42 of Figure 2 is                 
          programmed with an Automatic Print Regeneration program APR which           
          monitors a common data store 62 to “identify misprocessed                   
          mailpieces and control system 42 to regenerate the associated               
          document set [46], including the control document for the                   
          misprocessed mailpiece.”  In association with the description of            
          Figures 3A, B and C, it is noted at specification, page 9, lines            
          10 through 15, that the data processing system 42 generates
