Abstract
A transporter can transports a recording medium on a transport belt through a print group with at least one print head. The transport belt has a plurality of holes via which a negative pressure may be produced to draw/hold a recording medium onto the transport belt. To avoid an air flow below the print head, a decoupler can selectively cover, seal, and/or decouple a source of the negative pressure such that no negative pressure is produced through the holes that are located below the print head and that are not covered by a recording medium.
