A medium conveying apparatus includes a driving force transmitting mechanism to transmit a driving force from a first motor to a brake roller and a pair of conveyance rollers located on the downstream side of the brake roller, and a processor to rotate the first motor forward to control so that a medium separated by the brake roller is conveyed by the pair of conveyance rollers, in a separation mode. The processor rotates the first motor backward to perform a feed operation by the brake roller and rotate the pair of conveyance rollers backward until a front edge of the medium passes through a position of the brake roller, and rotates the first motor forward to control so that the medium is conveyed by the pair of conveyance rollers after the front edge of the medium passes through the position of the brake roller, in a non-separation mode.

The present invention provides a printer for applying a stamp onto an official document, wherein the printer comprises an access level with an inlet for inserting the document into and removing the document from the printer, a processing level including a print head, and an inter-level document transport system for moving a document receiving platen between the access level and the processing level. The access level and the processing level are at least partly arranged on top of each other. The present invention also provides an imaging system for a printer and a method for processing an official document with a printer.

An apparatus for folding and receiving book documents comprises a main conveying device arranged and adapted to convey unfolded book documents in a main conveying direction and a secondary conveying device arranged and adapted to receive the book documents conveyed by the main conveying device and to convey them in a secondary conveying direction and/or against the secondary conveying direction, wherein the secondary conveying direction is transverse to the main conveying direction. Further, the apparatus comprises a receiving device arranged at a spatial distance from the first and/or the second conveying surface and configured to receive folded book documents. The device folds the conveyed book documents respectively with a movement in the secondary conveying direction and/or against the secondary conveying direction. Furthermore, a lifting device is arranged to convey the folded book documents from the main conveying device and/or from the secondary conveying device into the receiving device.
