Abstract: A rewritable card printer useful as a rewritable card printer. The rewritable card printer includes a print module coupled to one or more separate card magazines, each having independent card drives. The operation of the print module and one or more card magazines are controlled by a printer controller. Cards may be exchanged between multiple card magazines so that cards can be escrowed, exchanged, or selectively located and retrieved. The print module may receive as well as dispense cards from and to an external card source so that the card magazines may be replenished without opening up a gaming machine hosting the rewritable card printer. The print module may further include a security device reader that is used to read security features embedded in the cards. The security features may be used to track individual card use and to guard against card duplication and fraud.

Abstract: An electronic printer using edge-perforated continuous-form paper is adapted to print and sequentially stack cards that are initially carried by a paper carrier sheet corresponding to continuous-form paper. The printer includes paper tractor means above the printing means for feeding the paper upwardly past the printing means. A card separating attachment includes another paper driving device above the tractor means for drawing the paper carrier rearwardly over a separator bar. This separates the carrier paper from the cards, which are guided by guide means so that they fall face downwardly into a receptacle, thereby providing a stack of cards arranged in the order in which they were printed.

Abstract: A device for supporting plural wire markers is disclosed. A support card supports members for insertion into a typewriter or computer printer. The support card includes a frictional engagement means for engaging the platen of the typewriter or computer printer to frictionally support the card therein.

Abstract: A carrier for work to be printed comprises a web made up of a series of panels, connected edge-to-edge, and providing means, such as slits, tabs and flaps for coupling the work to the web. The slits, tabs and flaps are preferably arranged to accommodate standard sizes of stationery, so that cut sheets of stationery, coupled to the web, may be printed automatically.

Abstract: A reusable document holder for use in a computer printer or electronic memory typewriter, including a strong, flexible plastic support material or sheet, preferably formed of the polyester Mylar, having a plurality of spaced document attachment areas for attachment thereon of documents, e.g. checks, to be printed in a computer printer, each of such areas having bands or straps at the corners, for insertion of such document beneath the bands, and a flap along the top edge for insertion of the top edge of such document beneath the flap. These elements support such documents and protect the top edges thereof when the document holder is fed through a printing device for printing on the documents or checks. Such bands and flap are formed by slitting or cutting the support material.

Abstract: A printer for a desk computer includes a card case adapted to accommodate a large number of cards. The cards accommodated in the card case are pressed toward an open end of the card case by a biasing means. A movable frame is adapted to move up and down while keeping in slidable engagement with the open end of the card case. When the movable frame comes down with a card held therein, the card is impressed by the counterrotation of an impression cylinder against the inked printing surface on a plate cylinder.
