Abstract

Such printers (multi-functional printers) are very difficult to produce economically. A printer system which permits the processing of all (internationally) necessary forms and savings books, vouchers, cheques, certificates, driving licences for motor vehicles, passports, identity cards, vehicle licences, BTX texts and teletext texts can be produced in accordance with the choice of desired functions by constructing a basic model (1) comprising a printing mechanism (2), a transport facility (3) for the object to be printed, an operating panel (4), an electronic control system (5) and a power supply unit (6), where the printing mechanism (2), the power supply unit (6) and the electronic control system (5) each consist of sub-unit modules (7) which are easily installed and removed by the use of seating and securing devices (9, 10 or 9a, 1Oa) on a basic frame (8) and by providing additional seating and securing devices (9, 10 or 9b, 1Ob) for an optical character recognition device (15) and/or a magnetic strip processing facility (20) and/or an optical line location facility (21) and/or an optical mark location facility (22) and/or a journal printer sub-unit module (23; 7). <IMAGE>
