Automatic form dispensing system

Abstract

An automatic form dispensing system for a variety of transactions has a housing with an operator interface for receiving operator input, and has a form dispensing assembly in the housing and a roll of blank form stock and two rolls of a carrier web containing blank stickers retained thereon by a pressure sensitive adhesive. At least one of the stickers is removed automatically from the carrier web and applied to the blank form stock as the blank form stock moves towards a dispense slot of the housing. A printer thermally prints information on the sticker and on a portion of the blank form stock adjacent the applied sticker in response to the operator input. A cutter cuts the printed potion of the form stock which contains the applied sticker from the roll of blank form stock to provide a completed printed form. A dispensing device then dispenses the printed form from the housing through a dispense slot. A fee indicating and receiving assembly may be incorporated in the housing for receiving fee payment and then actuating the dispenser assembly.
