Abstract
A carrier is disclosed for advancing one or more relatively small items such as envelopes, address cards, checks, and the like through a computer printer or word processor printer having a feed mechanism controlled remotely by the computer or word processor. The carrier includes a carrier sheet of a size that the feed mechanism of the printer can handle and at least one strip of non-setting, non-drying, pressure sensitive tacky adhesive attached to the carrier sheet to which the items can be attached and carried through the printer. Vertical and horizontal grid lines and horizontal and vertical location index numbers are printed on the top surface of the carrier sheet. Parallel retaining strips are also provided to hold the items flat against the carrier sheet.
Claims7
A carrier for advancing one or more relatively small items such as envelopes, address cards, checks and the like through a computer printer or word processor printer having a single sheet feed mechanism controlled remotely by the computer or word processor, comprising a carrier sheet of a size that the feed mechanism of the printer is designed to handle, a plurality of strips of non-setting, non-drying, pressure sensitive, tacky adhesive attached to the carrier sheet to which the items can be attached and carried through the printer with the carrier sheet and thereafter removed from the carrier sheet, and grid means on the sheet to allow the computer or word processor to be programmed to print the desired information at the proper location on the items as the sheet is fed through the printer.
A carrier for advancing one or more relatively small items such as envelopes, address cards, checks, and the like through a computer printer or word processor printer, having a feed mechanism that is controlled remotely by the computer or word processor and that is capable of feeding only larger sheets of paper one at a time, comprising a carrier sheet of a size that the feed mechanism of the printers are designed to handle, a pair of spaced, parallel, flat, retaining strips of relatively stiff material attached to the sheet in a manner that allows the items to beprinted to be slipped under the strips and held flat against the carrier sheet by the strips as the carrier sheet travels through the printer, horizontal location index numbers and vertical location index numbers printed on the carrier sheet, said horizontal location index numbers corresponding to the numbers on the margin and tab scale line displayed on the screen of a multi-purpose computer or dedicated word processor during word processing operations and said vertical location index numbers corresponding to the line numbers of a computer or word processor printer to allow the information to be printed on the small items to be positioned on the screen so that the information will be printed on the items in the desired location, and a plurality of strips of non-setting, non-drying, pressure sensitive, tacky adhesive located between the parallel retaining strips to hold the items between the strips.
