Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for double-sided printing of identification cards, especially made of plastic, according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Such a device is already known. She points two printing stations. With the one printing station printed on one side of the card, whereupon the card on the Turning station turned and the second printing station to Printing is fed to the other side. Through the the two printing stations is the known device expensive. It also takes up a relatively large amount of space.
  • JP 58-167347 A is a copier, in which the copy paper after which is printed on the front of the copying station has been via a transport device Turning station is fed as a plate is trained to be a Paper transport direction extending axis is rotatable. As a result, the turned paper is printed on the Back with the same front edge in the copying station like printing on the front.
  • the cards are usually sent to a thermal printer automatically fed from a stack. But for them too The transport drive can be inserted by hand be reversed.
  • the object of the invention is a fully automatic Device for printing on both sides of Provide identification cards that are simple Construction takes up little space.
  • the invention is based on the general idea to a printing station with a thermal print head Card turning station to connect the card after the Turning the printing station feeds again, the Printing station is designed so that it can also take the card from move their back and another one Can perform printing.
  • the device according to the invention has only one Printing station on. It is therefore much cheaper and space-saving than the known device for double-sided printing of a card.
  • the invention Device is therefore especially for the decentralized Output of cards printed on both sides is suitable, i.e. there, where in many places also smaller quantities of Identification cards are issued.
  • ID cards i.e. cards that identify your Allow owner or him as a member of a group Identify as authorization cards, i.e. cards that the Owner using certain services enable to understand.
