An opening in the housing for the printer is normally closed by a pivotable cover behind which documents are accumulated and stored, a first set of transport rollers including drive and pressure rollers is arranged behind the cover and being provided for cumulatively holding and moving one or more individual documents; second set of transport rollers is disposed upstream from the first set of rollers and operated in opposition such that the first set provides for holding or transport and the second set is open and vice versa; a control device operates the cover and said transport roller sets and provides (i) a closed disposition of said cover in an open position for said first set of rollers permitting insertion of documents in between through the second set, (ii) a closed disposition for the cover as well as closed disposition of the first transport roller set for holding and storing documents in between, and (iii) providing issuance of the documents for open cover and closed first set of transport rollers, said transport rollers then being driven; the second set is open during (ii) and (iii).

Abstract (de)

Es wird eine Einrichtung zur vorübergehenden Speicherung von Belegen (20) beschrieben, die für Selbstbedienungsdrucker geeignet ist. Hinter einer Ausgabeöffnung (29) ist eine Schwenkklappe (30) und erste Transportrollen (31) angeordnet. Die ersten Transportrollen (31) haben die Aufgabe, den Belegstapel (20) festzuklemmen, wobei die Schwenkklappe (30) als Anschlag dient. Die Belege werden in einem Speicherraum (25) gespeichert und werden einzeln den ersten Transportrollen (31) zugeführt. Wird ein Druckbefehl gegeben, dann wird die Schwenkklappe (30) geöffnet und die Transportrollen (31) werden angetrieben, so daß der Belegstapel dem Bediener des Druckers angeboten wird. Zweite Transportrollen (21), die wechselweise mit den ersten Transportrollen (31) arbeiten, dienen der Abnahme des Beleges (20) von der Druckvorrichtung (12, 7) und der Zuführung der Belege (20) zu den ersten Transportrollen (21).
