Abstract: In the case of a dispensing unit for dispensing individual sheets, in particular banknotes, having a box-like container for accommodating a sheet stack, which can be moved with a stack end surface in the direction of the front end wall of the container, having an accommodating module for accommodating the container, and having a withdrawal device for withdrawing individual sheets from the stack end surface through a dispensing opening of the container, the withdrawl device having a drivable withdrawal roll, which is intended for butting against the stack end surface, a transporting roll, which is arranged parallel to the withdrawal roll and can be driven in the same direction as the latter, and a counter-rotating roll, which is assigned to the transporting roll, can be driven in the opposite direction to the latter and forms a nip with the transporting roll, at least the withdrawal roll is arranged within the container.

Abstract: In the case of a dispensing unit for dispensing individual sheets, in particular banknotes, having a box-like container (14) for accommodating a sheet stack (24), which can be moved with a stack end surface (40) in the direction of the front end wall (20) of the container (14), having an accommodating module (12) for accommodating the container (14), and having a withdrawal device for withdrawing individual sheets from the stack end surface (40) through a dispensing opening (38) of the container (14), the withdrawal device having a drivable withdrawal roll (30), which is intended for butting against the stack end surface (40), a transporting roll (46), which is arranged parallel to the withdrawal roll and can be driven in the same direction as the latter, and a counter-rotating roll (42), which is assigned to the transporting roll, can be driven in the opposite direction to the latter and forms a nip with the transporting roll (46), at least the withdrawal roll (30) is arranged within the container (14).

Abstract: In a printer for printing on individual printing media such as receipts, savings books and the like, a control shaft activated by the printer control system has a plurality of control cams for activation of a transport device, a printing medium alignment means, and a printing medium stop, the cams being designed such that the activation zone of the alignment means and of the printing medium stop are located substantially in the deactivation zone of the transport device.

Abstract: Document processing device, especially a document printer (10, 110), has a document issuing section which has a slit-like document issuing aperture (28) and a document support (16, 116) arranged downstream of the latter in the document issuing direction. There is arranged on the document support ( 16, 116), parallel to the document issuing aperture (28), a region (50, 150) which inhibits the sliding of a document and projects beyond at least parts (42, 142) of the document support (16, 116).

Abstract: A recording substrate (21) is brought into a predetermined position on a recording substrate holder (10). One edge of the recording substrate (21) rests against a recording substrate stop (18) provided at one side on the recording substrate holder (10). Extending transversely to the recording substrate stop (18), in or on the recording substrate holder (10), there is a transmitting or receiving means (KS) which can be covered by the recording substrate (21). A receiving or transmitting means (KE) is provided on the printing head (7). In the region of the extent of the transmitting or recording means (KS), at a defined distance from the recording substrate stop (18), a shielding surface (30) is arranged on the recording substrate holder (10). During the movement of the printing head (7) along the transmitting or receiving means (KS), the location of the shielding surface (30) and the location of the recording substrate edge remote from the recording substrate stop (18) are detected.

Abstract: An electromechanical writing device comprising a writing head, a writing head carrier for carrying the writing head, a guide along which the writing head carrier is movable during a writing operation, a writing platen over which, in operation, a recording medium, e.g. paper, is moved during the writing operation, a shearing edge forming part of the writing platen and extending in a direction parallel to the direction of movement of the writing head, and a roller knife mounted for movement along the guide and cooperating with the shearing edge to permit the recording medium to be cut.
