Abstract (en)

The machine has a thermal printing head, which moves between a neutral position, at which the head moves away from a counter pressure roller, and a printing position, at which the head moves towards the roller. A print medium moves via a gap between the head and the roller. An electric motor moves the head protection unit (26) between protection and unblocking positions when the head is in neutral and printing positions, respectively. An independent claim is also included for an application of a printing machine in a ticket-coding device.
