Abstract A message receiving arrangement operative to reduce the risk of uncontrolled distribution of transmitted and printed messages. The arrangement includes a sheet-store and printing mechanism for printing messages on sheets taken from the store and a supply of enveloping material intended for enveloping sheets with messages printed thereon. The arrangement also includes a closed casing (11) which functions to gather printed sheets to a collected bundle (33). Mounted in the casing (11) are means (25, 27, 30) which function to automatically envelope the thus gathered bundles of sheets. Also mounted in the casing (11) is a folding device (29) which, during the enveloping process, is intended to move perpendicularly to the transport direction of the sheets during the gathering of the sheets to a bundle form (33). The supply of enveloping material comprises two storage rolls (25, 27) each placed on a respective side of the folding device (29) and on the opposite side of a collected sheet bundle (33) to the folding device (29) when the folding device occupies its rest position (its starting position).
A message receiving arrangement, comprising a sheet-store and a printing mechanism for printing messages on sheets taken from said store, and a store of enveloping material for enveloping sheets on which messages have been printed, characterized in that the arrangement also includes a closed casing (11) which functions to gather sheets into a collected bundle (33) as the sheets are printed, and means (25-27-30-31 32) for enveloping the thus gathered bundles (33) of sheets with enveloping material (26 and 28 respectively) taken from the store (25, 27) of enveloping material (26 and 28 respectively).
