Abstract
An improved capsule receiving conveyor bar to be carried by a transport conveyor of a capsule transport and printing device is disclosed. The conveyor bar includes a bar member and an insert attached thereto. The insert comprises a plurality of capsule receiving pockets formed therein. When the capsules are to be transported and subjected to a spin printing operation, each of the pockets comprise at least one recessed pocket portion so that indicia imprinted on the capsules in loci corresponding to the recessed portions will not smear as the capsules are rotated about their longitudinal axes during the spin printing operation.
