A printing apparatus that includes a holding unit configured to hold a roll sheet performs supplying the sheet by rotating the roll sheet held by the holding unit; nipping and conveying the supplied sheet; performing printing on the conveyed sheet; detecting occurrence of a print medium jam of the sheet; and, if the printing apparatus has detected a print medium jam of the sheet, performing a control process of supplying the sheet in a state in which the conveying is stopped.

Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting a printer jam. The systems and methods can include receiving a reference image of a printer opening and a second image of the printer opening. A lack of a receipt between the second image compared to the reference image can be detected. The lack of the receipt can indicate the printer jam. After detecting the printer jam, operation of the self-service terminal can be terminated.

A device may receive a test scenario that includes actions to be performed by test equipment. The test scenario may be associated with a test suite. The device may receive availability information indicating a quantity, a type, or a status of the test equipment or a resource of the test equipment for performing the actions. The device may determine an order in which the actions are to be performed. The device may generate scheduling information for the actions based on the order and the availability information. The device may schedule the actions for execution by the test equipment. The device may transmit information that causes the actions to be performed by the test equipment based on the scheduling information.

A dispensing apparatus for dispensing card-shaped data carriers, includes at least one coding unit configured to encode a data carrier with at least one data set, and at least one detection unit configured to detect the functionality of the encoded data carrier. The dispensing apparatus further includes at least one sorting unit having at least one drive means configured to forward the data carrier, wherein the drive means is configured such that the data carrier is forwarded with a first speed upon detection of an error-free data carrier, and the data carrier is forwarded with a second speed upon detection of a defective data carrier, the first speed being different from the second speed.
