SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING MERCHANDIZING TAGS HAVING PRINTED AND MAGNETIC INFORMATION THEREON

摘要

A system for processing merchandizing tags cut from stock having a magnetizable portion and a portion for receiving visible printed information. The stock is carried through a magnetic recording station and a printing station where indicia are respectively magnetically and visually recorded on the stock on each of the portions corresponding to tags which are cut from the stock at the last station. A reader is also provided which reads the magnetic indicia on a tag by being actuated when the tag is properly positioned to move a magnetic reader over the magnetic indicia on the tag.
