Claim:
A device for issuing a ticket from a tape reserve for a printing mechanism, such device comprising: at least one pair of motorized rolls for driving the ticket between which the ticket runs in order to convey the ticket towards an evacuation opening of the mechanism, motorized means for driving the rolls, the implementation thereof being slaved to control means, said control means including first control means for issuing the ticket causing the rotation of the driving rolls into a first rotational direction corresponding to a conveying path of the ticket towards the evacuation opening in order to place the ticket into a withdrawal position for the user, and second control means for retracting the ticket causing the rotation of the driving rolls into a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction, said second control means being slaved to means of detection of the persisting withdrawal position of the ticket beyond a reference information, and means for inhibiting second control means, implementation of said inhibition means being slaved to means for detecting the moment when the user is taking the ticket in the retracting path for interrupting the opposition between the loads applied on the ticket respectively by the user and by the rolls driven by the motorized means in the second rotational direction, this interruption enabling reverse rotation of the driving rolls for authorizing restitution of the ticket notwithstanding prior implementation of the second control means for retracting the ticket.
