Abstract Appartus for formatting the layout of information from one face of a driver's license (34) on or proximate the platen (15) of a copying machine (12) having an input form (14) which is fed into the machine (12). The apparatus includes a member which holds the driver's license (34) at a preselected location on or proximate the platen (15) for copying. The input form (14) is fed into the copying machine (12) at a selected orientation which allows information on the face of the driver's license (34) to be copied onto the input form (14) to produce a final or new form (18) that is output from the machine (12). This final form (18) has the driver's license information copied thereon at a selected location. The apparatus is particularly suitable for use in connection with guest registration in motels, or other applications, where it is desirable to have the driver's license information on a specialized business form.
A copying machine for receiving a form having a preselected area for the insertion of driver's license information and for copying driver's license information onto said preselected area of said form, said copying machine comprising: a housing having a side portion; copying means within said housing; input means for inputting said form to said copying means; a platen operatively associated with said copying means upon which printed matter is placed for copying by said copying means; an access opening provided in said side portion of said housing; a sliding apparatus for receiving said driver's license therein and for being slidably received into said access opening so as to orient said driver's license with respect to said platen such that said copying means serves to copy said driver's license information onto said preselected area of said form; and output means for removing said form from said copying machine subsequent to said driver's license information being copied to said selected area of said form.
