Printer with a media unit which can be removed therefrom and which is lockable

摘要

A printer is disclosed, especially for a tacograph for a motor vehicle, the printer including a housing, a print unit, a media unit which can be partially removed from the housing and a locking unit retaining the media unit. The print quality of conventional printers is subject to extreme fluctuations. The aim of the invention is to produce a printer which produces a good print image despite rough operating conditions. A locking element is included which can be moved translationally perpendicular to the direction of insertion into a locked position and into an unlocked position. A translationally displaceable locking element offers greater security in relation to shocks than a rotationally mounted locking element.
