Disclosed is a media rotation mechanism. The media rotation mechanism may include a housing, a media receiver, and a rotation motor. The housing may define a first opening and a second opening. The media receiver may define a media receiver opening. The rotation motor may be configured to rotate the media receiver between a first position and a second position. The first position may correspond to the media receiver opening facing the first opening. The second position may correspond to the media receiver opening facing the second opening.

A secure circuit board assembly is provided. The secure circuit board assembly comprises: a control board including a cryptographic processor; a spacer portion mounted on the control board; and a lid mounted on the spacer portion. The control board, the spacer portion, and the lid collectively provide a secure enclosed chamber in which the cryptographic processor is mounted. The spacer portion provides protection against side-on attacks against the cryptographic processor.

The invention relates to a burster apparatus (44) for separating into sheets a continuous form (22) which has transverse weakened lines and which is arranged to be conveyed along a feed path (43) through the apparatus. The apparatus includes a movable burster rod (82) which extends across the feed path, and a clamp member (96) operable to clamp the continuous form (22) with a weakened line aligned with the path of movement of the burster rod. By means of cams (70) and link members (92), the rod (82) is arranged to be moved through the feed path (43) while the form (22) is clamped, the rod being inclined relative to the feed path. During this movement, the rod (82) progressively bursts the form (22) along the aligned weakened line from one edge of the form to the other, thereby effecting a reliable bursting of the form even if the weakened line is improperly formed.
