Abstract: The invention relates to a printer and a corresponding print medium, wherein the printer reads, by means of a sensor, a code provided on the print medium. In order to make possible a simplified operation at the same time as an optimal printing result it is provided that data read by means of the sensor are transmitted to a merchandise management system by means of an interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load cell for weight measurement with a load beam which has an overload protection. In order to achieve a cost-effective manufacture, it is provided that the overload protection has a bar, running parallel to the center plane of the load beam, which freely engages in a recess on the movable force application side of the load beam, with the result that there is an upper and a lower air gap between the bar and the force application side. In the case of an overload, the upper or the lower air gap is bridged and the force application side comes to rest against the bar, with the result that no further movement of the force application side relative to the stationary side of the load cell is possible.

Abstract: An electrically operated slicing machine for cutting slices from product has cutting device with a circular knife mounted in a machine housing that rotates in a cutting plane (E; E?) and a substantially flat support plate having a support surface for placement of the carriage carrying the product.
