ABSTRACT:
Process for preparing film strips for subsequent orders, the film strips belonging to a customer order. Each film strip includes a number of numbered masters which are fed into a preparation station. There, they are glued to a carrier belt and coiled into a film roll, which can be used at subsequent processing stations. Customer-specific order data regarding the desired number of copies of specific masters and, where applicable, the desired copy format, are entered via an input unit in the preparation station and stored onto a carrier medium which is compatible with the subsequent processing stations. In the process, the customer-specific order data are entered before the film strips are fed in. The fed-in film strips are automatically checked, before gluing to the carrier belt, for their position parallel to the conveyance direction and for the number order of the masters on the respective film strip, and by comparing with the customer-specific order data entered, it is checked whether the fed-in film strip is required for processing the customer order. If a film strip is improperly positioned or if a film strip is superfluous for processing the order, the operating personnel's attention is automatically drawn to the respective error, or the concerned film strip is automatically expelled before being glued to the carrier belt. A device according to the invention has an insertion area for the film strips which is equipped with at least one photoelectric sensor before a pair of draw-in rollers and which has, following the pair of draw-in rollers, a photoelectric scanner for the master numbers.
