Abstract
It is disclosed an anti-jamming device for a printing apparatus with stacker, for lottery or betting terminals, with a path of a continuous strip of paper, a printing device for printing a document on the strip, a cutting device for separating the document from the strip, a movement device for moving the document laterally to a stacking zone, a movable portion that bounds the path and is moved from the strip in the event of a jam, moving the portion causing printing to be stopped.
Claims10
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a path for a continuous strip;
- a printing device for printing a document on the strip;
- a cutting device for separating the document from the strip when the document is in a cutting position;
- a movement device for moving the document from said cutting position to a stacking position;
- an anti-jamming device comprising a movable portion that can adopt a normal position, in which it is arranged on one side of a part of said path, and an anomalous position, in which it is moved away from said part of said path, a movement of said movable portion from said normal position to said anomalous position being caused by the strip that is deformed laterally because of an irregularity on said path;
- a control arrangement for stopping the advancement of the strip stopping said printing device when said movable portion adopts said anomalous position.
