ABSTRACT:
This invention achieves accurate registration of a web of forms such as preprinted checks in a printer controlled by a computer, without requiring skill on the part of the operator or extra equipment for the printer. The method and apparatus of this invention uses specially marked forms in conjunction with a computer program. The computer program puts indicator information onto the marked form which has been inserted into the printer, receives input from an operator about the location of the indicator information, and moves the form in the printer to the proper location to receive printed information. The method of this invention is for the operator to insert forms into the printer, and then operate a set-up computer program. This program instructs the printer to put a mark on the form on the line to which it is currently set. The computer then instructs the operator to type into the computer the line number on which the mark was just printed. With this invention, the computer calculates the adjustment needed to properly align the form and makes the adjustment with no more assistance from the operator.
