Dialer programming system and device with integrated printing process
First Claim
1. An autodialer system, comprising:
- (a) an autodialer, including;
(1) a carrier including at least one print-receiving surface;
(2) a memory located within said carrier and adapted for receipt of at least unique account number data;
(3) an output device for initiating access to telephonic communication services;
(4) an actuable mechanism for initiating the generation of;
(a) a uniform command signal associated with a uniform access number; and
(b) said unique account number;
(5) variable imprinted data carried on said at least one print receiving surface corresponding to and determined at least in part by said unique account number data;
(b) a programming system for providing said unique account number data to said memory; and
(c) a printing system for applying said variable imprinted data to said at least one print-receiving surface.

Abstract
An improved dialer programming system and device in which an assembled dialer may be loaded into a combined programming and printing system to be programmed with predetermined signals and imprinted with associated variable data. The predetermined and programmed signals may be representative of telephone numbers, account authorization numbers, or other data. The associated variable information to be printed may be textual such as name, account number or telephone number data or graphical, such as graphic designs or barcode images. The variable information may be printed or affixed to the dialer using a wide variety of processes adapted to the needs of the end user. An improved assembly design for the dialer device and improved dialer programming and imprinting system are particularly adapted to accommodate high volume production of many dialer devices with different programming and imprinting requirements. Additional new programming techniques for autodialer devices are also described.
