Abstract: A printing device securing apparatus includes a printing device having a first securing member operable to couple to an external locking device. An input tray includes a second securing member operable to couple to an external locking device, wherein the input tray is operable to couple to the printing device such that the first securing member is adjacent the second securing member. With the input tray coupled to the printing device, an external locking device may be coupled to the first securing member and the second securing member in order to secure the printing device and the input tray if security is an issue.

Abstract: An improved document feeder for feeding a predetermined number of singulated checks in seriatim for accumulation into a check stack package, for delivering the package to further handling device, and for realigning the checks therein while the package is being delivered. The feeder comprises a singulator; a feeder section that feeds the singulated checks via a spider wheel to an accumulator bin for accumulation into a check stack package; and reciprocating kicker arms for realigning the accumulated check stack package and for delivering the check stack package to further handling devices. The reciprocating kicker arms the accumulated check stack package by engaging trailing edges of the checks in the check stack package and kicking the package into engagement between driven nip wheels. The kicker arms and the driven nip wheels deliver the check stack package.
