Dialer programming and device with integrated printing process

摘要

An improved account access system and device in which a portable electronic card may be loaded into a combined programming and printing system to be programmed with predetermined signals and imprinted with associated variable data. The predetermined and programmed signals may be representative of telephone numbers, account authorization numbers, or other data. The associated variable information to be printed may be textual such as name, account number or telephone number data or graphical, such as graphic designs or barcode images. The variable information may be printed or affixed to the portable electronic system using a wide variety of processes adapted to the needs of the end user. An improved assembly design for the portable electronic system and improved programming and imprinting system are particularly adapted to accommodate high volume production of many devices with different programming and imprinting requirements. Additional new programming techniques are also described.
