Abstract

This invention describes a hand-held unit incorporating a plurality of character carrying members in the form of continuous bands or strips which can be mechanically adjusted, as desired, to display a series of desired analog numbers at the first location and to produce a bar code representation thereof at a second location. Such continuous bands or strip allow a user to apply an imprint of the bar code representation produced directly to a document--for example, as a bar code representation of a Postal Service Zip-Code destination to a piece of mail. A plurality of tabbed strips are disposed for actuation to display the analog numbers on the continuous bands and to bring the bar code representation into position. Each of the continuous bands has a plurality of tabs to allow for the movement of the individual strips within the slotted body of the device.
