Autorejecting spliced document product
A document product includes a web having a transverse splice therein. A mask is formed near the splice and is subsequently used for automatically rejecting a spliced document.
1. A document product, comprising:
a web having repeating documents, each document including a preprint thereon;
an optical recognition signature site on each document; and
a mask other than the preprint, the mask proximate to a transverse splice of the web and located in the optical recognition signature site of each document.
2. The document product of claim 1 , wherein the document product is a laminar document product.
3. The document product of claim 1 , wherein the web is laminated in a plurality of layers.
4. The document product of claim 3 , wherein the web is devoid of the mask except adjacent to the transverse splice.
5. The document product of claim 3 , wherein the mask is other than the preprint.
6. The document product of claim 1 , wherein the web includes repeating lines of perforations in the repeating documents.
7. The document product of claim 1 , wherein the transverse splice comprises a tape joining together the web at a joint therein.
8. The document product of claim 1 , wherein the repeating documents are situated along an axis of the web.
9. The document product of claim 1 , wherein optical recognition signature site, on each document, comprises a location for printing a barcode.
10. The document product of claim 9 , wherein the mask includes a mark for covering the optical recognition signature site and obscure the barcode.
11. A roll, comprising:
a multilayered web wound in a spiral having a plurality of repeating documents;
an optical recognition signature site situated on each document at a predetermined location for each document; and
a mask proximate to a splice that bridges two spliced documents along an axis of the multilayered web, wherein the mask is present in the optical recognition signature site of a particular document adjacent to the splice.
12. The roll of claim 11 , wherein the mask is present within the splice.
13. The roll of claim 11 , wherein each of the documents include a blank optical recognition site with the mask covering the blank optical recognition site.
14. The roll of claim 13 , wherein the splice bridges a width of the multilayered web.
15. The roll of claim 11 , wherein the multilayered web includes repeating lines of perforations in the repeating documents, and the splice is located at the perforations.
16. An infeed product fanfold, comprising:
a multilayered web having repeating documents along an axis of the multilayered web;
a series of optical recognition signature sites at a predetermined location for each of the repeating documents; and
a mask proximate to a splice to distinguish a spliced document from a non-spliced document from the multilayered web, and the mask provided in each of the optical recognition signature sites.
17. The infeed product fanfold of claim 16 , wherein the splice is located at perforations of the repeating documents.
18. The infeed product fanfold of claim 17 , wherein the splice comprises a tape joining together the web at a butt joint therein.
19. The infeed product fanfold of claim 18 , wherein the tape is perforate.
20. The infeed product fanfold of claim 16 , wherein the mask is included in the splice.
