A method and a device for producing a document and a document produced in a corresponding manner are presented, said document being produced from a paper reel (1), being printed in a continuous rotary method, being divided into partial webs (4.1 to 4.4) and being assembled to form a document which is ready for use and has a plurality of sheets or pages. The thickness of individual pages or sheets of said document can be increased by the fact that a gluing machine (26) is integrated into the production process of said document, the gluing machine gluing individual page sections, individual pages or entire sheets of said document to one another. A second paper reel or second type of paper or second paper quality having a higher paper thickness or paper quality is therefore unnecessary.

To provide a medicine inspection system capable of appropriately outputting an inspection result while minimizing damage and the like to a packaging bag and a medicine. A medicine inspection system 10 includes an inspection device 20 which inspects a numerical quantity and/or a type of a medicine contained in a packaging bag p based on an image photographed of the packaging bag p to be inspected, and a marking device 50 which records an inspection result from the inspection device on the packaging bag p. After the packaging bag p, which has a seal section S formed by pressure bonding an overlapping portion of a packaging paper, is inspected at the inspection device 20, a stamp which indicates the inspection result thereof is output by a marking device 50 onto the seal section S.

Disclosed are a substrate package, a method of fabricating the substrate package, and a system including the substrate package. The substrate package includes a stack of substrate sheets in an individual form, a continuous form, or a roll form. The stack has a sidewall defined by edges of the substrate sheets and a mark on the sidewall includes mark segments on respective edges. The mark segments vary such that one or more of the mark segments have a respective segment characteristic, such as a length. The segment characteristic can encode information about an attribute of the substrate sheet, such as a physical characteristic of the sheet.

A paper folding machine comprising folding mechanisms (11, 15, 24) arranged at folding positions (A-C) on a transport path (1), respectively, guides (8, 19, 20, 28, 29) positioning a paper sheet (F) relative to the folding positions by engagement with at least one side edge of the paper sheet, stoppers (12, 15, 25) stopping and positioning the paper sheet at the folding positions by bringing a leading edge of the paper sheet into contact with the stoppers, a fold misalignment detection unit (50) detecting a fold misalignment amount of the paper sheet for each folding position, and a controller (42) controlling positions of the guides and stoppers. The controller calculates, for each folding position, an average fold misalignment amount, and adjusts the position of the guide and/or stopper associated with the corresponding folding position so as to correct fold misalignment corresponding to the average fold misalignment amount.

A detecting device, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a detector configured to optically detect at least one of a position of a sheet, a position of an image formed on the sheet, and the image formed on the sheet, and a rotary body disposed at a position opposed to the detector and having a shaft, the rotary body being rotatable about the shaft in a sheet conveying direction of the sheet. The sheet is conveyed to space between the detector and the rotary body. The rotary body has a reference plane on an outer circumferential surface, a line formed on the reference plane and extending in a width direction perpendicular to the sheet conveying direction. The detector detects the line on the reference plane while the rotary body is rotating when the sheet does not intervene between the detector and the rotary body.
