ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for applying correction strips with encodable indicia to bank checks and similar documents and for removing previously applied correction strips from checks and reapplying a new correction strip to such a check. The apparatus includes feed mechanism for feeding checks without previously applied correction strips and with previously applied correction strips along parallel feed paths which merge to a common feed path provided by plural endless flexible belts. A rotatable drum is interposed in the common feedpath and is disposed in proximity to a heater element engageable with a heat activatable adhesive band portion of the correction strip for applying the adhesive band to the front lower face of bank checks and similar documents. A rotary cutter is disposed in one of the parallel feed paths for cutting a previously applied correction strip from the lower edge of a check. Feed mechanism associated with the apparatus includes parallel feed slots and endless transport belts for receiving respectively a check without a previously applied correction strip and a check with a previously applied correction strip. An operator actuable switch is provided to select an operating mode wherein a check may have a correction strip applied thereto, be transported through the apparatus without application of a correction strip, and have an old correction strip removed from a check and a new correction strip applied to that check.
