    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for interleaved printing of letters and envelopes in an unattended manner. The system includes a memory for storing in a first portion thereof, text codes and control codes corresponding to the constant text of a form letter and envelope to be printed. As required, one or more blocks of variable data are written into the memory succeeding the form letter and envelope. The system is operative to output the contents of the memory to a printer while merging the variable data with the form letter and the envelope for a completed letter followed by the envelope. Logic is provided to utilize a selected field of a record of variable data exclusively in either the letter or envelope. The printing system is also operative to print more than one copy of the same letter before printing the envelope. All of the printing relative to the record is performed, however, before the next record is read so that distribution of the letter to all recipients can begin when the next record is read.

    Abstract: 1526912 Text transmission INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 25 April 1977 [7 June 1976] 17018/77 Heading H4P In the transmission of coded text, control signals for printer control are transmitted, using the ordinary text signals. Overall commands, such as "new job", "instructions to be changed", "end", "send", and sent using ordinary text symbols, are recognized as commands by being preceded by the ordinary coding for line end or carriage return, LE, and "comma", so that the code "LE", precedes all overall commands. More specific instructions within such overall commands, such as: positioning of right, or left margins, or top and bottom of format; selection of remote device to receive transmission; holding of transmission link; are recognized by being preceded by the code "LE" alone. Commands and instructions are terminated by the ordinary coding for page end or form feed "PE", whereafter received data is interpreted as normal text. The above approach allows additional commands over and above those normally available in an EBCDIC (extended bcd interchange code) to be communicated without loss or mutilation.
