• an actuating member slidably mounted on the housing, which actuating member is coupled with a turn-over mechanism for pivoting the stamping unit between a coloring position in which it is held against the ink pad in the ink pad holder and a print position provided for printing on a print surface,
• a signal generator adapted to record a movement of the actuating member into an actuating position corresponding to the print position,
• an electronic evaluating unit, which is connected to the signal generator for processing a signal supplied by the signal generator, wherein the evaluating unit comprises a counting module for counting the actuating operations, and
• a switching member connected to the evaluating unit, which switching member is arranged to be switched from a first switching state to a second switching state when the ink pad holder is inserted or removed.
