Another advantage is that the transport drum can be manufactured with great precision, which results in a uniform transport of the print carriers under the ink jet print heads.
  • a main circuit board (not shown) for the control controls the printing device.
  • markings are applied close to the circumference, which are distributed over the circumference of the transport drum 51.
  • the markings are, for example, reflective lines which are detected by a reflection light barrier of an encoder 52 and are converted into pressure pulses in a ratio of 1: 1 by the microprocessor of the above-mentioned control system.

  • the inner deflection rollers 677, 678 and 687, 688 are rotatably mounted on the axis 673 and 683 and have a reduced diameter compared to other support rollers. This results in a rising course from the beginning when guiding the counter-pressure conveyor belt 671, 672 or 681, 682 on the aforementioned roller arrangement to the middle support roller 674 or 684. Because of the aforementioned guidance, mail piece thicknesses (letter thicknesses) below 10 mm an additional pilot control mechanism is eliminated.
