  • Process and apparatus for determining the magnitude of the paper advance commanded in a printing machine
    Patent number: 4026405
    Abstract: In printing data on paper sheets which are connected along lines of perforation, the paper advance relative to the printer is controlled to assure that the proper kind of data is printed in the appropriate area or areas of the sheet or sheets to which such kind of data has been assigned. Different levels of the sheet corresponding to these areas are identified by the number of spaces between such levels and the upper edge of the sheet and a control system is employed which monitors the position of the printing line with respect to the upper edge of the sheet and which controls the paper advance in accord with the levels of the areas.
