  • Patent number: 7514133
    Abstract: A strip-shaped label has a transparent plastic film layer partially covered by an opaque film layer. A window area not covered by the opaque film layer remains. The film layers are bonded to one another using an adhesive layer. Before attachment, the label is positioned on a carrier. A bow-shaped suspension tab is produced through punching, on whose bottom non-adhesive areas are provided, which allow a suspension tab to be pulled out of the label plane easily for suspension of the container. Two printed voucher sections are implemented in the opaque label film. The transparent film layer has an adhesive-repellent coating, which is also transparent, below the voucher sections. In the stuck-on state, the label area in which the voucher sections are positioned overlap the transparent window area. After removal of one of the voucher sections, the window area is visible and the container contents may be viewed.

  • Patent number: 6690476
    Abstract: A method and system for unloading continuous forms media from an image forming device while utilizing full forms. The full form utilization feature of the present invention is applicable to printing onto sheets having multiple forms. During an automatic unload operation, the last printed form from a print run is unloaded and the first unused form is positioned to be the first printed form on a subsequent run. The full form utilization feature of the present invention reduces or minimizes the number of forms wasted during print runs.
