Abstract

A device for sending and receiving graphical documents via teletransmission lines comprises an input station (16), a withdrawal station (20) for single-sheet graphical original, a transport system which transports the graphical originals along a reading device from the input station (16) to the withdrawal station (20), an output station (32) for a printed print carrier and a transport system which transports the print carrier material from material supply station (60) along a printer to the output station (32). The output station (32) is located in the head region and the withdrawal station (20) in the base region of the device. Both the input station (16) and the withdrawal station (20) for the printed originals in the base region (8) of the device (2) are arranged on two opposite sides (3,6) or the device so that the output station (32) in the head region (10) of the device (2) is located at a considerable distance from both the input station (16) and the withdrawal station (20). It is therefore impossible to mistake printed documents output with graphical originals.
