Abstract
A document product includes a web having a transverse splice therein. A mask is formed near the splice and is subsequently used for automatically rejecting a spliced document.
Claims22
A laminar document product comprising:
- a web configured with repeating documents along the running axis of the web, wherein each document includes preprint thereon;
- an optical recognition signature site other than preprint at a predetermined location of each repeating document;
- a transverse splice;
- and
- a mask other than preprint and (i) proximate to the transverse splice, and (ii) provided in the optical recognition signature site of a document adjacent to or including the transverse splice.

An infeed product roll comprising:
- a web wound in a spiral having a multitude of layers, and a multitude of documents repeating along the running axis of the web, wherein each document has preprint thereon;
- a series of optical recognition signature sites other than preprint at a predetermined location of each of the multitude of documents;
- a press splice bridging two spliced documents;
- and
- a mask other than preprint and (i) proximate to the press slice to distinguish an associated spliced document from nonspliced documents, and (ii) provided in only the optical recognition signature site of a document adjacent to or including the press splice.

An infeed product fanfold comprising:
- a web stacked in a multitude of layers, and having a multitude of documents repeating along the running axis of the web;
- a series of optical recognition signature sites other than preprint at a predetermined location of each of the multitude of documents;
- and
- a press splice;
- and
- a mask other than preprint and (i) proximate to the press splice to distinguish an associated spliced document from nonspliced documents, and (ii) provided in an only the optical recognition signature site of a document adjacent to or including the press splice.

A laminar document product comprising:
- a web configured with repeating documents along the running axis of the web, wherein each document includes preprint thereon;
- a blank optical recognition signature sites other than preprint at a predetermined location of each repeating document;
- a transverse press splice;
- and
- an operator-provided mask other than preprint and (i) proximate to the transverse press splice, and (ii) provided in only the blank optical recognition signature site of a document adjacent to or including the transverse press splice.
