A paper case includes a paper ejection opening, side walls, and a front wall. When the paper case is mounted on a paper stand, the paper ejection opening is positioned at a front end facing a downstream side. In addition, the side walls are positioned on a first side and a second side in a direction intersecting a transport route and each have a height relative to the paper stand greater than a height of the paper feed opening relative to the paper stand. Furthermore, the front wall continues from the front end and slopes so that a height of the front wall relative to the paper stand increases toward an upstream side of the transport route.

A device for inscription of identification units, wherein each identification unit has an identification plate or several one-piece contiguous identification plates, wherein each identification plate has an inscription surface and wherein the inscription surface or several inscription surfaces of each identification unit spans or span an inscription plane, includes: a magazine for holding a number of identification units bearing against one another with inscription planes oriented parallel to one another, the magazine having two guide walls for the identification units, which walls are spaced apart and extend parallel to one another or along a conveying direction extending perpendicular to the inscription planes and reduce the reciprocal spacing; a contact surface for the identification unit, which surface is disposed after the guide walls in the conveying direction; an inscription implement for inscription of the inscription surfaces; a chute which is accessible via an inlet opening in the contact surface accessible for transport of the identification units to the inscription implement and/or to a removal point, wherein the peripheral edge of the inlet opening has two edge portions which lie opposite one another, and the spacing of the edge portions relative to one another is smaller than the spacing relative to one another of the edges of the guide walls facing the support surface; and a slide arrangement disposed above the support surface and having at least one slide element, wherein the at least one slide element is movable from a retracted position spaced apart from an associated edge portion into a feed position in which the edge of the slide element facing the inlet opening is flush with the associated edge portion or projects beyond the associated edge portion.

A sheet shredding device includes a stacking unit configured to stack paper; a cutting unit configured to cut paper supplied from the stacking unit; a transferring unit configured to transfer paper from the stacking unit to the cutting unit; and removing units configured to remove a binder attached to the paper. The removing units are provided so as to overlap in a transfer direction of the paper along a transfer path of the paper from the stacking unit to the cutting unit.

A placement station for placing flat items has multiple transport elements extending through a related opening in a placement deck of the placement station. All transport elements are driven by a single drive motor via toothed belt discs and toothed belts. At least one trigger sensor is arranged in the placement station on the exit side of the mail-item flow. The drive motor and the trigger sensor are electrically connected with means for controlling the transport speed of the flat items. Each transport element is carried by a transport module. The placement station has multiple transport modules, each extending with a transport element mounted on its head side through a related opening in a placement deck of the placement station. The transport modules are lowerable below the placement deck in a direction contrary to a spring force. The direction of traction can be changed by turning at least one transport module before or during operation of the placement station. Each transport element has a barrel-shaped body with an equator, wherein different friction values of said body of the transport element are provided on both sides of the equator. The transport modules are directionally positioned such that the half of the body of the transport element with the higher friction value is closest to the alignment wall.

A pharmaceutical filling system for a high volume pharmacy is described. The system can include a paper feed device and method. The system may include a paper collator with at one selectively openable shelf. A control device may monitor the capacity of the selectively openable shelf, and instruct a printer to hold printing additional print jobs. The selectively openable shelf may then be opened to allow the printed literature resting thereon to fall to a lower shelf, and the printer can then be restarted. Sheets of printed literature may be drawn from the paper collator, collected with any other sheets of printed literature associated with a prescription order, and mated with the prescription order for shipment.
