摘要:
An envelope printing assembly providing for feeding of envelopes (7) and printing thereon while said envelopes (7) are in motion, including a plurality (77) of print heads (81, 83, 85, 87, 89 and 92) and a platen (75) for imprinting the envelopes (7), an envelope storage bin (5) for holding a stack of envelopes prior to printing, transport rollers (61, 67), timing control means (111) to produce timing signals corresponding to the speed of the transport rollers (61, 67), an envelope position sensor to produce control signals corresponding to envelope position, and a controller (121) to receive the timing and control signals to control the ''start time'' and speed of printing of the print heads (77), so that envelopes may be printed seriatim and lengthwise while continuously moving. The print heads (81, 83, 85, 87, 89 and 92) may be offset longitudinally to permit closer line spacing and ''start times'' of individual lines are adjusted accordingly.
摘要:
A printing system for printing mail pieces including at least one page having an address. The system includes a printer (20), a controller (40), and a feeder (10,12) for selectively feeding an envelope or a cut sheet to the printer. The controller examines the text of each page to identity a destination address, and when the destination address is found prints it on an envelope for the mail piece. The system also has the capability to identify and print return addresses and the capability to print the envelope either before or after pages included in the mail piece.
摘要:
A system is shown and described wherein a portable printer is used to produce tags for attachment to mail trays. The printer is uploaded with plans that are the same as sort plans stored in the memory of a sorting machine with which the printer is to be used. The same sort plan that is selected for operation of the sorting machine will be input into the printer so that tags can be printed and attached to mail trays on an as needed basis. These tags can be colored coded so that the targeted day of delivery of the mail can be indicated. Act tags ran be printed by scanning the mail tray tags.
摘要:
Method for marking an object with a code which can be scanned by means of IR radiation, which code is applied by means of a suitable printing operation directly to a surface of the object, using a printing ink to which a colourless IR-absorption agent is added. All this is done in such a way that the absorption of IR radiation, in the scanned area of the object, in the parts which are not covered with this printing ink with colourless IR-absorption agent is negligible compared with the absorption in the parts covered with this printing ink, while the parts covered with this printing ink remain at least virtually entirely pervious to visible light. By preference the used printing ink is a colourless printing ink, and the code is applied to a coloured or uncoloured background of the object to be printed.
摘要:
Système de tri d'objets, par exemple d'objets postaux, comprenant des machines (10) de manipulation des objets, de saisie et de traitement d'informations, des serveurs informatiques (14) comprenant des consoles (46) écran-clavier et des unités (44) de reconnaissance automatique, et des machines utilisatrices (12) comprenant des moyens (36) de manipulation des objets, des moyens (38) de lecture de marques ou de codes, et une unité de tri (40), ainsi qu'un réseau (16) de transmission de données reliant entre eux ces divers moyens pour les faire fonctionner indépendamment les uns des autres et de façon découplée dans le temps.
摘要:
Le procédé conforme à l'invention est destiné à l'adressage à un destinataire soit d'un message, notamment informatique, soit d'un objet tel que document, pli, lettre, paquet, colis, fardeau et autres. Il est caractérisé en ce que l'on affecte à chaque message, ou objet, deux repères dits respectivement "identifiant" et "situant" qui correspondent ensemble au seul destinataire, l'identifiant étant formé par la combinaison d'un code de situation géographique et d'un numéro de téléphone du destinataire, tandis que le situant est formé par des coordonnées, de préférence sous forme de chiffres, issues d'une trame que l'on établit pour une zone géographique déterminée, coordonnées qui correspondent à une maille de la trame représentant le plus précisément possible la situation géographique du destinataire. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le code de situation géographique est formé par le code officiel d'une zone administrative telle qu'un Département pour la France, un County" pour les Etats Unis et le Royaume Uni, un "Landkreis" pour l'Allemagne, et analogue.
摘要:
A marking system for printing envelopes. The disclosed system includes a xerographic marking engine (16) with conventional photoconductive photoreceptor (26). An electrostatic latent image is formed on the photoreceptor, in accordance with information to be printed, by means of a controller and a laser raster output scanner (42). The latent image is developed by a development subsystem (44). Envelopes to be printed are moved into transfer relationship with the photoreceptor at a transfer zone (46) so that a toner powder image is transferred to the envelope and then moved to a fusing (36) and output (28) station. The controller is apprised of the fact that it is to operate in an envelope printing mode by a sensor mounted to the main paper input tray (32) which senses the presence of a special envelope cassette (62) when the cassette is inserted into the paper tray.
摘要:
A high throughput sorting device is disclosed. The device includes a first sorter and a second sorter, each of the first and second sorters having a plurality of cells each configured to support, carry, and deposit an item. The device can also include at least one shared chute extending below a portion of the first sorter and a portion of the second sorter. The at least one chute can be configured to receive an item deposited by each of the plurality of cells and transport the item to an endpoint. The device can also include a base configured to support the at least one shared chute and the first and second sorters
