Method of and apparatus for printing serial numbers.

摘要

A sheet (25) is pressed by type characters (65) on a numbering device (64) to form a raised portion (66) on the sheet (25) in a character pattern (65) indicative of a serial number.
<??>Simultaneously with printing of an image pattern on the sheet (25), ink is applied to the raised portion (66) on the sheet (25) to visualize the serial number. With no inking device required for the numbering device (64), the apparatus (21) is simple in overall arrangement and can be constructed less costly.
