CHECK POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR USE IN AN AUTOMATIC CHECK PRINTING APPARATUS

摘要

CHECK POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR USE IN AN AUTOMATIC CHECK PRINTING APPARATUS The check positioning system includes a guide tray (12) which in turn includes a guiding edge (31). Roller assemblies (18,20,22) in combination with associated lower gripping wheels (40,42,44) and a system (16) for driving the roller assemblies (18,20,22) move the check longitudinally in both directions along the guide tray (12). A clamping apparatus (48) controls the clamping of the check. A deskewing roller (28) on each of the roller assemblies moves the check laterally as well as longitudinally when the check is not clamped. laterally movable edge detector (14) detects the edges of the check so it can be located relative to the guide tray (12) for accurate printing/encoding of the check.
