          Application 08/767,249                                                      


          claim 18 is representative of the subject matter on appeal and              
          reads as follows:                                                           
               18.  A form for non-impact printers, comprising: an upper              
          section; a lower section; two subsequent sections located between           
          the upper section and the lower section; and a coating located on           
          the back of at least one of said upper section and said lower               
          section, wherein                                                            
               each section is separated from the next section by a fold              
          line formed as a perforation;                                               
               said upper section having a surface area equal to that of              
          said two subsequent sections;                                               
               said upper section and the next one of said two subsequent             
          sections have a surface equal to that of the other of said two              
          subsequent sections and said lower section; and                             
               said upper section is located relative to said two                     
          subsequent sections so that said upper section is folded onto               
          said two subsequent sections and is thus adapted for printing on            
          said upper section in a non-impact printer.
