Abstract

Methods of operating embossed card package production system (10) by verifying by reading and comparing information obtained by reading embossed (32) and magnetically encoded information (35) and coded information (27) on a carrier (26A, 26B) stored card and carrier information in a forms data memory (44) and a card data memory (40) to make new cards appropriately prepared and arc correctly matched to the carriers (26A, 26B). Incorrect cards (30) act sent to a reject location (90) to prevent formation of incorrect packages. Only cards (30) which ace determined to be correctly prepared have activation labels (21) applied which also serve to distinguish them from incorrectly prepared cards (30) and inventory reports are automatically kept of rejected carriers, rejected cards and the number of labels as well as the number of correct carriers produced which are printed on the very type of carrier to which the accounting information elates with a carrier printer (48). Multiple types of bar codes (22) are identified and decoded automatically.
