Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording image information on a data carrier which has a substrate that can have optically identifiable information written to it by the application of radiation, and an image-carrying area suitable for the application of information, in which the whole image information of an image to be recorded is applied to the image-carrying area. In order to increase the tamperproofness of the image to be recorded and the identifiability of the said image, without adversely affecting the brilliance and colour fidelity of the image, the invention provides for a portion of the image information that is to be recorded to be additionally written to the substrate with the aid of radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for printing text on a sheet of a booklet-like article in a text-printing station, in the case of which the booklet-like article is arranged in a swung-open state in a cassette (10) and fed to the text-printing station. Then the position in the text-printing station of the border of the sheet which is to have text printed on it is detected, as is the position of a pattern provided on the sheet which is to have text printed on it. Thereafter, the sheet has text printed on it such that some of the text is aligned with respect to the pattern and other parts are aligned with respect to the sheet border. The process according to the invention can be carried out particularly advantageously using a cassette which has a base plate (11), with a bearing region (15) and a first bearing surface (17), and also has a frame (12), which is arranged on the base plate such that it can be released at least in part opposite the bearing region (15).
