Abstract
In an office machine, for example a printer, with an endless paper transport mode via a tractor and with an individual paper transport mode via driving rollers, one mode of operation is changed to the other in a simple way. A two-armed rotary lever is rotatably mounted relative to the housing and is positively coupled selectively to a paper switch for deflecting the paper path in accordance with the selected mode and selectively to the drive of the tractor, in such a way that, during the connection and disconnection of the tractor drive for respective endless paper and transport and idle modes, a change-over of the path switch takes place simultaneously.
