Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form sorting method using a name identification mark.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a process in which a paper (form) on which different information is printed for each customer is sorted (named) for each customer and sealed and sealed to create a sealed letter. in this case,
When sorting a plurality of pages for each customer, it is necessary to prevent erroneous inclusion by a sorting mark (name identification mark).

Conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG.
When the 4 size paper 50 is to be provided as a printed matter, the sorting information for manufacturing (O
(CR character, barcode, etc.) 51 is printed. When sorting a plurality of pages for each customer, the sorting information 51 is read and checked.

However, it is not preferable to print information originally unrelated to the customer in the area for providing the information to the customer. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5B, a sheet 52 of a size slightly larger than A4, which is called A4 novi, is used, and the sorting information 5 is added to the portion outside the A4 size.
A method of printing 1 is also proposed. In this case, the periphery of the paper 52 is cut after the sorting processing, and only the A4 portion 53 necessary for the customer is provided.
