Abstract
A system and method of printing a document and encoding information in a magnetic strip on the document wherein all the information to be printed and encoded is received from a single information source by the printer of the system. The document is printed with machine readable codes on a form having a magnetic strip. The printed codes are read by the system and used to magnetically encode information in the magnetic strip on the document. A system embodying the invention may also include a slitter for separating a printed and magnetically encoded document into sections, and a binder to bind plural documents or sections.
