1. A method of capturing data from an input received by a handwriting capture device, the method comprising: receiving printed paper including an identifier associated with an object, the printed paper having been prepared by: selecting a plurality of object elements, the selected object elements including an identifier independent of an object; associating the selected object elements with one another, including associating the identifier with the object; and printing, on a piece of paper, at least one of at least one associated object element, a representation of at least one associated object element or information related to at least one associated object element, wherein the resulting printed paper includes the identifier printed thereon, the identifier including a modulus number with a check digit encoded within a pattern, and wherein the resulting printed paper is received; sensing the identifier from the printed paper, including sensing the check digit of the identifier based upon the pattern encoding the check digit; determining if the sensed identifier is known and proper based upon the sensed check digit; capturing an electronic handwriting input based upon a position of the writing stylus with respect to the printed paper; and associating the electronic handwriting input with the sensed identifier to thereby associate the electronic handwriting input with the object associated with the identifier.
