Abstract: A device for actuating a tilting lever used in sensing sheet-type recording media includes a tilting lever having first and second arms and being swingably mounted about a pivot axis attached to a frame, from a first reference position to a second reference position. A first permanent magnet cooperates with a magnetized contact region on the first tilting-lever arm and is arranged to rest against the magnetized contact region when the first arm is in the first reference position. A second permanent magnet cooperates with a further magnetized contact region on the second arm and is arranged to rest against the further contact region when the second arm is in the second reference position.

Abstract: A printer for a plurality of different printing objects serving as a multifunctional printer is subject to problems of economic production.

Abstract: A flat substrate (3) for surface structure is insertable, in each case, in positions where the processing means (5) are moved into positions outside of the path of the substrate, in particular for print and/or read means (6, 7) in a device for the transport of flat substrates (3) in office machines, in particular for records in record-processing apparatus (1). A pull-in shaft (8) or feed throat includes guide means which form, in transport direction (4), one or several successive, cross-running openings (19) for the processing means (5) movable cross to the transport direction (4). The openings (19) are closable, at least in part, by way of elastic coverings (24, 25) for achieving an interference-free pull-in of damaged and/or irregular substrates (3) or, respectively, records.
