ABSTRACT:
Digital data apparatus includes a reader for reading digital data encoded on a datastrip on an application insert. Disclosed is a sensor for sensing whether or not an application insert is positioned for reading by the reader. The digital data apparatus includes a platen upon which an insert is positioned and which is accessible through a door. An end of the platen is located adjacent to the door. Opening the door moves the end of the platen so that an application insert can be positioned on the platen. Closing the door allows the platen to press the insert towards the reader to facilitate reading digital data on a datastrip of the insert. The sensor is a microswitch, mounted on the platen. The microswitch has an actuator which is engageable by an application insert positioned on the platen. The microswitch is only actuated when the door is closed and an application insert is positioned on the platen.
