A disposable wrapper is disclosed which is adapted to hold a supply of copy sheets in the form of a pack equivalent to a plurality of reams for a printing machine. The wrapper is constructed of two main portions which permit the operator to carry the stack to a sheet supply platform for the machine without disrupting the stack. One of the portions of the wrapper stiffens the pack and serves to permit the operator to carry and place the stack upon the platform. The other portion is in the form of a flexible strip wrapped around the pack and which may be slidably removed from under the stack thus effecting the loading of the stack in the printing machine preparatory to the sheet feed operation.
A printing paper protective device includes a protecting plate having a bent portion for separating a paper stack and an open portion for detecting when the paper stack has disappeared. The protecting plate is placed on the printing surface of printing paper and is accommodated in a paper cassette together with the paper stack.
A pack (12) of thermal-sensitive sheets, which comprises a stack of sheets (77) bearing each a thermal-sensitive layer on one sheet side, a protective foil (79) in contact with the thermal-sensitive layer of the outermost sheet of the stack, and a rupturable strap (78) encircling the stack of sheets and the protective foil, and attached to such foil by means of a rupturable seal (83).

The paper object processing device comprises a take-out roller which feeds tickets where one surface side is a heat-sensitive surface and the other surface side is a non heat-sensitive surface, a conveying path which conveys the fed ticket, a bar-code reader which reads the bar-code recorded on the heat-sensitive surface of the ticket conveyed, stacking sections which stack the tickets whose bar-codes have been read, a sealing device which seals a band on the stacked tickets which have been stacked, and a thermal head which heat-prints control information on the heat-sensitive surface of the stacked tickets which have been sealed.
A system and method for storing and dispensing a stack of materials to a feed station of the utilization device that is adapted to feed stacks of the materials is provided. The materials, typically sheets or envelopes, are provided in a predetermined orientation in a stack in a container having a dispensing end or other opening. To dispense, the container is positioned with respect to the feed station and a release on the container is operated using a predetermined motion. The release enables the contents of the container, in stack form, to be transferred to the feed station free of any operator intervention with the contents of the stack. The dispensing end/opening can be shoulders on a container that are moved out of interfering contact with the stack when the stack is placed over upright guides on the feed station.
