ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed method and apparatus for selectively printing human readable characters and a machine readable code on record members in the form of tickets, tags or labels. A disclosed method of printing relates to selective printing using one or more printing bands and coupling driving means with each band to drive each printing band a predetermined distance to a position at which the type element corresponding to the selected indicium is moved to the printing zone. This method can be carried out using one type of print head with printing bands which are automatically, individually, and selectively moved or shifted to a printing zone to print the selected indicia. Another disclosed method is used to selectively position printing members of the bar-type to print bar codes. This method can be carried out by using another type of print head which has automatically, individually, and selectively settable bar-shaped printing members and which applies a machine readable code to the record members in predetermined relationship with respect to an aligner. There are three print heads of the one type and one print head of the other type for printing in stages at different locations on the record members.
