    - un moyen de positionnement (210) mobile pour le positionnement du document de sécurité devant ou à l'intérieur de l'orifice d'insertion (208),
    - où le moyen de positionnement est conçu pour exercer une force de coulissement parallèle à l'orifice d'insertion (206) en forme d'arête sur le document de sécurité posé ouvert sur la surface d'insertion qui fait que le document de sécurité posé ouvert adopte une position d'insertion ;
    - où le moyen de positionnement et/ou le moyen d'insertion orientent le document de sécurité pendant l'insertion de telle manière que son arête large (k1) de couverture ou de partie arrière est disposée parallèlement par rapport à l'orifice d'insertion en forme de fente.
  15. Unité de terminal selon l'une des revendications précédentes 3 à 14,
    - dans laquelle le module supérieur (202) comprend une cassette supérieure (216), où la cassette supérieure et le module supérieur sont conçus de telle manière que la cassette supérieure peut être retirée et de nouveau insérée dans le module supérieur de manière répétée, où une première partie des moyens d'insertion et au moins la première source de sollicitation (502) et le premier capteur (510) se trouvent à l'intérieur de la cassette supérieure et sont conçus de telle manière qu'ils peuvent être retirés et de nouveau insérés comme une composante de la cassette supérieure ; et/ou
