A printer 1 has transportation paths for conveying media in two directions, that of a first transportation path P 1 and that of a second transportation path P 2 (or third transportation path P 3 ) perpendicular to the first transportation path P 1 . With this printer 1 a single compact unit can be used for media processing by reading and printing the media, as well as for printing receipts and validation printing.
