Abstract

A correction strip assembly attachable to a check or similar document for providing an auxiliary encodable band for receiving encoded indicia to replace or supplement the encoded indicia on the check. The correction strip assembly is attached at the front of the check by way of a thin, tearable heat activatable adhesive bearing strip which width is maintained to avoid extension into either the encoded data field on the check or the encoding zone on the auxiliary band. A weakening device is provided to facilitate the removal of the band after processing.
