Abstract
A pair of conveyor rolls for transporting each record sheet to be printed past the ink-jet printing head is disposed directly below the printing zone of an ink-jet printing head to permit the transportation of freshly printed record sheets within an ink-jet printer without the print being smudged. A gripping device grabs the printed record sheet at its lower edge immediately after it has left the pair of conveyor rolls and carries it out of the printing zone and into an output area.
