Abstract
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.
