ABSTRACT:
This invention describes a hand-held unit incorporating a plurality of character carrying memberss in the form of continuous bands or strips which can be mechanically adjusted, as desired, to display a series of desired analog numbers at a first location and to produce a bar code representation thereof at a second location. Such continuous bands or strips allow a user to apply an imprint of the bar code representation produced directly to a document--for example, as a bar code representation of a Postal Service ZIP code destination to a piece of mail. A plurality of thumbwheels are disposed for actuation to display the analog numbers on the continuous bands and to bring the bar code representation into position. Each of the continuous bands has a narrow section carrying the analog numbers and a wide section carrying the bar code representation. Each of the thumbwheels has a smaller diameter section for mounting the narrow section of each of the continuous bands.
