ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for printing on corresponding edges of a plurality of flexible sheets maintained in assembled relationship are disclosed. The method includes the steps of printing on the edges of non-contact fashion, controlling the printing with a font programmable to represent indicia to be printed on the edges, dividing the edges into a grid defined by a network of evenly distributed horizontal and vertical spaces, selecting a position on the edges for printing the indicia, indentifying the spaces on the grid for receive portions of the indicia to be printed thereon, determining the portions of the indicia to be printed in each of the spaces in the grid so identified, and programming the font to cause the printing means to print the portions of the indicia so determined in the spaces of the grid so identified after the position for printing of the indicia has been selected. The apparatus includes a printer for printing on the edges in non-contact fashion, a controller including a font programmable to represent indicia to be printed on the edges, a device placing the edges in operative relation to the printer to accommodate printing of the indicia in a selected position on the edges, the edges being divided into a grid defined by a network of evenly distributed horizontal and vertical spaces.
