JPS59201134A - Input medium cartridge for input device of multi-item information - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize the cost when about 10-100 sheets of the same page sheet are produced by using a plastic film coated with a sensitizer as a page sheet and putting a master plate on the plastic film for copying. CONSTITUTION:For a master plate 111, plural information input marks 113 are handwritten on the surface of a mount 112 having proper light transmission performance. While a photosensitive film 116 is coated over the entire surface of a plastic film 115 for a page sheet film 114. The plate 111 is put on the film 114 so that the lower surface of the mount 112 touch the upper surface of the film 116, and the light beam 117 is irradiated onto the plate 111. Thus the film 116 is exposed at the areas which are not covered with marks 113 and discolored. Otherwise the areas which are not exposed are discolored by a development process after the irradiation of beams 117. As a result, the marks 119 equal to the marks 113 on the plate 111 are copied to a page sheet 118. In such a way, the cost can be reduced when about 10-100 sheets of the same sheet are produced.
