Abstract

The invention describes a document encoder which, in addition to the printing devices for imprinting the document (43) with the encoded values, is also combined with a stack feed (1) and a reading station (44) for already encoded values. The reading station (44) for automatically reading pre-encoded values and the viewing station (45) for visually reading data which are to be keyed in manually are arranged one behind the other, and the documents (43) are driven transversely relative to the normal transporting direction for shifting them from the reading station (44) into the viewing station (45) by means of separate transporting means (32 to 42). The viewing station (45) is arranged in front of the reading station (44) and, together with the reading station (44) and the document single feed (1), forms an additional module which can be employed as a front and lower construction, respectively, of the actual encoding printer.
