Definitions

• This presented innovation refers to a device for reception of electronic information from e.g. facsimile, e-mail or an internal network consisting of one or a plurality of messages intended to reach an addressee, printing of the information, together with infonnation on printing of addresses and information of stamping of the consignment.
• Sealing of security classified messages received via facsimile, e-mail or internal networks and where the principal purpose is to protect the message information from unauthorised view is earlier shown in Swedish patent applications SE-9803525-6 and SE-0004205-1.
• the sealing unit is in these applications intended to be integrated to the printing unit in order to secure that the received message - independently of if it arrives via facsimile, e-mail or via a local network - shall be protected for unauthorised view.
• the arrangement may however be utilised in a much broader scale and be adapted to a, more and more, fast equipment development.
• the printer can consist of just a printer, a conventional data printer, a network printer or one of today's multifunctional devices which receive and transmit facsimile messages, print messages or scan originals of different kinds.
• the printer can be intended for printing in black and white or colour and be equipped with a plurality of trays for paper of different sizes and shapes.
• documents coming from the printer according to the digital instructions are sealed with the use of the sealing procedure in the patent applications mentioned above without the use of glue , paper staples or environmental influencing plastic materials whereupon the sealed documents are taken charge of and, were appropriate, are stamped to be forwarded by external or internal post.
• the documents/ wrappers are created within the device by plain sheets of paper or by paper on rolls there is no need for the printer to handle folded papers or ready-made envelopes but uses paper of standard commercial quality.
• a comprehensive aim with this invention is to achieve a device for secure reception and efficient distribution of electronic information eliminating the drawbacks of to-days distributing systems.
• the invention also concerns secrecy secured envelopes produced according to this method.
• one or several information carrying documents are joined to a document cover ( wrapper ) where the information content, in the form of one or several separate documents , is partly placed within the document cover and / or on the inner side of it, partly additional information as addresses etc. on the outer side , after which the documents are joined to each other by means of an embossing technique deforming the document / documents in an embossing joint thereby creating a permanent bond between one or several documents in the joint.
• the principal aimof the invention has been to create an automated process from the creation of the document , e.g. in a personal computer , to the printed document in an envelope , ready for forwarding by post. Nersus to-day's partly manual operation this means large cost savings.
• the user chooses to use the device for sending a letter at the LAN-network he has a dialogue box in his computer to instruct the appearance of the letter and its content.
• This dialogue box is part of the special software set up in all computers connected to the network which can be personal computers ( PCs ) or other types of computers connected to the network.
• the information carrying documents are made of paper sheets in "normal printer quality" where the embossing is performed by one or several interacting wheels with special teeth for the embossing ( embossing wheels ) according to above referenced patent application SE 9803525-6 where these force the paper surfaces in the joint to deform and that this deformation is remaining and joins two or several paper sheets to each other in the joint.
• the development has shown a high degree of freedom in the choice of paper quality.
• a printer ( 1 ) with can consist of a printing equipment, a network printer, a conventional printer or a so called multifunctional printer with a number of magazines,
• the paper trays of the printer can be loaded with different papers like: paper for document wrappers paper of standard size e.g. A4 pre-printed paper of different kinds intended for printing or to be incorporated in the wrapped document without additional printing.
• paper for document wrappers paper of standard size e.g. A4 pre-printed paper of different kinds intended for printing or to be incorporated in the wrapped document without additional printing.
• Paper for document wrapping and for inserts can consist of paper in sheets or on rolls at which the sealing equipment is equipped with a paper cutter for cutting the paper to the required length.
• the front side of the document wrapping can also consist of paper for window envelopes in sheet-form or on rolls.
• a Sealing Unit ( 2 ) also equipped with one or several trays Si - Swin as: tray for various pre-printed papers tray for pre-produced inserts unsuitable for passing the printer
• a LAN-net ( 4 ) connected to the printer ( 1 ) for data transfer of digital input data containing messages and information of the composition of the final document or the printing of individual papers / messages in the printer.
• Data bus for interactive transfer of information of inserts, sealing and paper-cutting etc. between printer and sealer.
• the software delivered with the device and printer also incorporates software which, from the content of the document, calculates and stamps the document with necessary stamps when required.
• each received message is given a serial number in the shape of a bar code printed on the front side of the document and which is checked when the document leaves the device.
