摘要

First and second magazines (20, 30) supply the cards for personalization in set processing stations (22, 23) and further magazines (24, 34) are for laying the cards down, following personalization. A further similar arrangement is described. A common transport unit (10) transports the cards appropriately between the locations. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding method of processing.
