Method for orienting an automotive tachograph, a tachograph paper strip, and a longitudinally movable paper strip relative to a printing device in the tachograph

摘要

A paper strip (6) for a tachograph (1) has a series of marks (17, 18) which extend transversely with respect to its direction of movement in the tachograph (1). The marks (17, 18) are of different lengths and are sensed by a sensor (10, 11). The sensor (10, 11) generates a signal sequence which provides definitive information about an offset of the paper strip (6) in the printing unit (7). A control device (12) actuates a printing unit (7) of the tachograph (1) and compensates for the offset.
