Abstract: The apparatus and method of the present invention is adapted to be utilized with respect to packages of connected forms of the type having sprocket holes along the margins thereof which are adapted to be engaged by sprocket wheels in, for example, a print-out device for advancing the forms to an operating station in the device. The method comprises providing a strip having sprocket holes therein. The spacing of the sprocket holes on the strip is equal to the spacing of the sprocket holes on the forms. The strip is connected to the first form of the package with the sprocket holes in the strip in alignment with the sprocket holes in the margin. The strip or strips are then engaged with the sprocket wheels in the device which is then operated to advance the package of forms into the device.
