Abstract: A method of preparing continuous label paper from a continuous paper consisting of a label sheet coated with an adhesive on the back side thereof and a support sheet detachably adhered to the back side of the label sheet and which sheets are wider than a finished width of the continuous label paper.

Abstract: A continuous label paper with a number of tractor-feed transfer holes formed with equal spacings along both lateral ends of a release sheet, and unit label sheets, partitioning a certain number of label pieces, are detachably mounted on the release sheet with equal spacings in the longitudinal direction. The label unit sheets have edges which are spaced from the portions with transfer holes on the release sheet. A method to prepare the continuous label paper from continuous paper detachably mounted on the release sheet by simultaneously removing unnecessary portions of the continuous paper outside each unit label sheet.

Abstract: A composite IC card for controlling information of a plurality of different enterprises using an IC card in which a memory is divided into a plurality of storage areas and which has a code store section for storing a plurality of codes necessary to access the storage areas, a first code specify section for specifying a first code corresponding to each enterprise, a second code specify section for specifying a second code set according to the security level of each storage area, a code read section responsive to an instruction to access a desired storage areas from an external device for reading the first and second codes from the code store means, a code collate section for collating the externally inputted code with the code read by the code read section, and a section for allowing the access to the desired storage area thus instructed when all collations in the collate section result in a match.
