Abstract
A label applicator applies a human readable label and a machine readable label to opposite sides of a package such that the position of the human readable label on one side provides an indication of the position of the machine readable label on the opposite side. Proper positioning of a package for application of the machine readable label is sensed when the package is positioned either automatically or manually. A printer prints the machine readable label and ejects it into a catcher where the label is held prior to its application to a package. The label application process is monitored by an interlock which signals the failure of the applicator head to pick up a label from the catcher.
