Claim:
A configuration for exchanging inkjet printing modules in a franking and/or addressing machine, comprising: a shaft-shaped receptacle with a locking lug for an inkjet printing module, the inkjet printing module including an inkjet print head with a nozzle surface, a rear edge of the nozzle surface, and a chip and a contact field disposed on a narrow side adjacent the nozzle surface; said receptacle being disposed behind a guide plate formed with a printing window, wherein printing media are guided along the guide plate for printing with the inkjet printing module; said receptacle having side walls and substantially vertical recesses formed in said side walls; devices, in said receptacle, for pulling and decontacting the inkjet printing module, said devices being mechanically coupled to one another such that, when pulling is initiated, decontacting is effected at the same time; a wiping apparatus disposed in a pivoting region of the rear edge of the nozzle surface of the inkjet print head; a draw hook for pulling the inkjet printing module disposed in an elastically adjustable manner in one of said vertical recesses of said side walls, said draw hook protruding out of said receptacle with a gripping opening and bearing by way of a rear end-side contour against an end of a shorter upper lever arm of a rotatably mounted two-armed guide lever, protruding with an end of a longer lower lever arm thereof into an adapted contour of a carrier rear wall of a carrier of said receptacle; said draw hook being formed with a recess at the other end of said rear end-side contour adapted to a contour of an end of the shorter lever arm of said guide lever, into which recess said guide lever is latched in a case of a pressed draw hook; and a spring pin mounted in a carrier rear wall orthogonally with respect thereto, said spring pin, when the ink jet printing module is pushed in completely, bearing against a locking lug with a force-transmitting connection.
