The invention comprises an apparatus and method of use thereof for processing a machine produced emulated handwritten document prepared on a marking surface, comprising the steps of: receiving a print job order; digitally generating a reference image of the print job order; machine plotting with a plotting pen and a downward force of one-half to forty ounces applied to said plotting pen an indentation trail to form input text on the marking surface; digitally imaging the input text on the marking surface to form an actual image; and in a quality control step, digitally comparing the reference image to the actual image prior to insertion of the print job order into an envelope.

Mechanical handwriting quality control method

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for producing a handwritten appearance of input text on a marking surface, comprising the steps of: backing the marking surface with a conveyor belt of a plotter system; machine plotting the input text on the marking surface with a plotting pen having a downward force of one-half to forty ounces; feeding a new sheet to the conveyor belt from a paper feeder system, the step of feeding under control of a paper position detection system; loading a current marking surface into the plotter system; and repeating the steps of loading and emulating n times as designated by a print job, where the step of emulating changes applied vectors to the current marking surface for sub-tasks within the print job and optionally to us graphic codes on the marking surface to control work flow.

Mechanical handwriting control apparatus and method of use thereof

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for producing a handwritten appearance of input text on a marking surface, comprising the steps of: receiving, into a plotter system, a print job related to a first graphic code, the print job comprising a printable media requirement; scanning, with a scanner attached to the plotter system, the first graphic code, the first graphic code previously printed on the marking surface loaded into the plotter system; identifying a particular media type of the marking surface with the first graphic code; confirming the printable media requirement matches the particular media type; and emulating handwriting on the marking surface with the plotter system to yield a marked paper.

Mechanical handwriting barcode apparatus and method of use thereof

The invention comprises a mechanical handwriting system linked to a user input system to generate a plotted document, such as a greeting card, note card or document, using a conveyor belt unit to support and move the document, a plotter, and a series of rollers to position and constrain movement of the greeting card, which is optionally and preferably linked to a paper feeder system in an assembly line format, where the rollers are optionally and preferably adjustable in position to accommodate varying paper sizes and to allow movement of the document during a plotting period to avoid positional overlap constraints of the rollers and a plotter head of the plotter in a process of plotting the document/card in sections.
