摘要： An apparatus for producing items in selected configurations and a system and method for controlling the same. More particularly, an apparatus for producing mail pieces and a system and method for controlling it to produce mail pieces in a variety of configurations are disclosed. The apparatus includes a laser printer (5) and folding sealing apparatus (6) controlled by a data processor. The folder sealer apparatus (6) combines sheets printed by the laser printer (5) with pre-printed sheets and envelope forms, which also may be printed by the laser printer (5) or may be windowed envelopes, folds the sheets as necessary and folds and seals the envelope form about the folded sheets to produce a mail piece. A user inputs a configuration for the mail piece which is translated by the data processor into a data structure and transmitted to the controller of the folder sealer apparatus (6). The controller controls devices comprised in the laser printer (5) and the folder sealer (6) by executing state routines in accordance with the data structure to produce the mail piece in the defined configuration. Concurrently the data processor transmits text from an output file to the laser printer (5) for printing on printed sheets and envelope forms. The data processor also controls the laser printer (5) to print an address for the mail piece either on an envelope form or on a printed sheet in a position where it will be visible through the envelope. Thus the apparatus is controlled to process an output file stored in the data processor into a mail run having a selected configuration. A mechanism and method for accumulating and folding sheets is also disclosed.

More particularly, an apparatus for producing mail pieces and a system and method for controlling it to produce mail pieces in a variety of configurations are disclosed. The apparatus includes a laser printer (5) and folding sealing apparatus (6) controlled by a data processor (1). The folder sealer apparatus combines sheets printed by the laser printer with pre-printed sheets and envelope forms (10), which also may be printed by the laser printer or may be windowed envelopes, folds the sheets as necessary and folds and seals the envelope form about the folded sheets to produce a mail piece. A user inputs a configuration for the mail piece which is translated by the data processor into a data structure and transmitted to the controller (6-1) of the folder sealer apparatus. The controller controls devices comprised in the laser printer and the folder sealer by executing state routines in accordance with the data structure to produce the mail piece in the defined configuration. Concurrently the data processor transmits text from an output file to the laser printer for printing on printed sheets and envelope forms.

摘要： An envelope form suitable for folding about one or more sheets having predetermined lengths and widths. The form includes a lower panel (20) which forms the back panel of the resulting envelope, and the length of which is approximately equal to one-third of the predetermined sheet length, and the width of which is substantially less than the predetermined sheet width. The width of the lower panel (20) is substantially less than the width of the sheets so that automatic centering guides may be employed to center the sheets with respect to the forms. An upper panel (12) is attached to the lower panel (20) along a first transverse fold line (24). The length of the upper panel (12) being substantially greater than the length of lower panel (20) and the width of the upper panel (12) being at least slightly greater than the width of the sheet. Side flaps (16) are provided to close the edges of the resulting envelope and an upper, or trailing flap (14) is provided to close the mouth of the envelope. An apparatus suitable for printing envelope forms and sheets, assembling these sheets with the envelope form and folding and sealing the resulting accumulation to form a mail piece is also disclosed.
