A storage mechanism (30 b) used for storing the printing state is arranged in the printer which prints the reel-shaped recording paper, cuts the recording paper into specific length and discharges the recording paper outside after printing; and when an electric power source is switched on, the recording paper is discharged outside in considerably maximum printing length and then is cut off under the circumstance of unfinished state of the previous printing, according to theprinting state stored in the storage mechanism as well as referring to the previous printing state.

Description

Printer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind ofly move back and forth with respect to printhead by the paper used for recording that makes drum, repeatedly printing repeatedly on paper used for recording is to carry out the printer of for example not homochromy printing on same paper.
Background technology
In carrying out polychrome printer such as color printing, print by comprising three primary colors (yellow, pinkish red, cyan) and 4 looks of black.As this polychrome printer, known have by move back and forth repeatedly printing repeatedly while the paper used for recording that makes drum, and the printer that carries out the printing of different looks on same paper is (for example with reference to patent documentation 1: Japanese kokai publication hei 8-67041 communique).
In the printer shown in the patent documentation 1, print at the record-paper of sending from feed roller by printhead, be accommodated in the record-paper incorporating section by the paper used for recording after the printhead printing of the same colour, after when next color of printing, will being accommodated in the record-paper rollback in this record-paper incorporating section, print by next color printhead once more, the paper used for recording after the printing is accommodated in the record-paper incorporating section.Like this, by of all kinds the printing time, paper used for recording is come in and gone out in the record-paper incorporating section.
In common printing action, the state of colour band and paper used for recording confirmed by various sensors, stops the printing action under the unusual situation and carries out mistake demonstration detecting, and the guardian notified need carry out false solution except that operation.The wrong content of expression was carried out necessary resuming operation during the guardian showed according to this mistake.Make printer get back to the state that can print once more.
On the other hand, in the printing action, wait when interrupting power supply printing action being stopped midway in printing owing to have a power failure.After the printing action was stopped, when once more printer being connected power supply, printer carried out various initial stage actions and returns the state that can print.But this power interruptions is printed having or not all of action and can be carried out, and in press carries out under the situation of power interruptions, becomes paper used for recording in the printing and arranges paper and handle, and remain in the state of printer.In addition, printer does not have whether printing paper used for recording midway is the information that remains in the state of printer.
In above-mentioned printer, after power supply is interrupted in printing action, when connecting power supply once more, become printing midway remain in printer and the state that can print with paper.When under this state, directly printing,, can on preceding printing printing surface midway, print overlappingly because printer is printed as prerequisite printing with the printing surface with paper.
Fig. 8 is the figure that is used to illustrate the printing state of printer in the past.Fig. 8 (a) expression is printed on the state of Halfway Stopping, the state after Fig. 8 (b), (c) expression power supply are connected once more.Moreover in Fig. 8, paper used for recording 10 is wound on the Reel paper supporter 2 and is held, and the printing ink by the glue sheet colour band that will be kept by ribbon cartridge 4 is printed attached to the paper used for recording 10 of pulling out from Reel paper supporter 2 by printhead 3.
In this printer, owing to waiting, power failure makes under the situation that is printed on Halfway Stopping, midway paper used for recording 10 of printing is not discharged from, still residual the state (Fig. 8 (a)) that is printed with the printing zone 10a that is produced by preceding printing on printing surface on paper used for recording 10.
Under the situation that power supply is switched on once more, by on one side with paper used for recording 10 to Reel paper supporter 2 rollbacks, on one side print (Fig. 8 (b)) by printhead 3 attached to the printing ink of colour band.By this printing, on the recording surface of paper used for recording 10, the printing zone 10b that overlapping this printing produces on the printing zone 10a that is produced by last time printing.Like this, the multiple printed article that has printed is not suitable as commodity, need avoid phenomenon like this.
In addition, when in same printing zone, printing overlappingly, because colour band is superimposed in same printing zone, so the colour band that has this can cause the situation of peeling off bad mistake because of colour band last time.Thereby, since have a power failure to wait be printed on Halfway Stopping after, the guardian need power supply connect again and print confirm printer before restarting use the paper state, the residual printing of printer midway with under the situation of paper, the removal operation of paper.
Summary of the invention
At this, purpose of the present invention is for addressing the above problem, the paper used for recording that makes drum move back and forth and the printer that prints repeatedly in, when the printing residual state of paper used for recording midway restarts, remove printing paper used for recording midway.

Printer 1 remains on the paper used for recording 10 of reel (ロ one Le) shape on the Reel paper supporter 2, prints at the recording surface from the paper used for recording 10 of these Reel paper supporter 2 rollbacks.Remain on aspect the Reel paper supporter 2 at paper used for recording 10 drum, can can support freely to rotate to carry out by Reel paper supporter 2 by the central shaft that for example paper used for recording 10 of drum is had, like this, paper used for recording 10 can be accommodated on the Reel paper supporter 2 rotationally.
Printing can contact with the recording surface of paper used for recording 10 by the colour band 4a that for example will remain in the ribbon cartridge 4 on one side, by printhead 3 ink-recording is carried out on the position of regulation on one side, in this printing, carrying out under the polychrome situations such as color printing, colour band 4a goes up with the coiling direction of a plurality of printing ink parts such as the corresponding yellow of color of printing, magenta, cyan along colour band 4a and is ready to successively, and the printing ink part is carried out by look ground repeatedly by the action of printhead 3.At this moment, in order in the same printing zone of paper used for recording 10, printing of all kinds to be carried out overlappingly, paper used for recording 10 is moved back and forth.The reciprocating motion of this paper used for recording 10 can also be carried out roll web uncoiling and rollback repeatedly by the rotation direction that changes Reel paper supporter 2.
Thus, paper used for recording 10 is moved back and forth with respect to printhead 3, carry out repeatedly printing repeatedly for the same printing zone of paper used for recording 10.
Moreover colour band also has protective layer except that colors such as yellow, magenta, cyan part, can protect printing surface by the printing surface that is covered after panchromatic printing finishes by this protective layer.
Paper used for recording 10 after printing finishes is by after printhead 3 parts, and by drain passageway 13, the outlet 6 from the cabinet 7 that is arranged on printer 1 is discharged to the printer outside.
Paper used for recording 10 is in printing of all kinds, in case the position by printhead 3, carry out paper feeding according to the length of printing after, reverse and reel.Printhead 3 prints in the process of this paper used for recording 10 of rollback.At this moment, temporarily keep out of the way in the inside of printer 1 by the paper used for recording behind the printhead 3 10.
In the structure of printer of the present invention 1 shown in Figure 1, the outer peripheral portion of Reel paper supporter 2 as paper used for recording incorporating section 12, is used as the accommodation space 20 that is used for paper used for recording is temporarily kept out of the way.In Fig. 1, paper used for recording incorporating section 12 is partly represented with oblique line.This paper used for recording incorporating section 12 utilizes the space of the outer peripheral portion of Reel paper supporter 2, at least a portion in full periphery, by and printer between the gap that forms form accommodation space.Usually, the outer peripheral portion of Reel paper supporter possesses when taking in roll web roll web uncoiling and the space segment sent.Because the diameter of the periphery of Reel paper supporter is under the situation of the diameter maximum of this roll web, the outer peripheral portion of roll web is not set at the diameter with surplus with wall of printer etc. contiguously usually yet, so the outer peripheral portion of Reel paper supporter is provided with headroom.In addition, be wound on after roll web on this Reel paper supporter rolls out, this roll web space segment of reeling becomes idle space at least.
Thus, in the outer peripheral portion of roll web, has the sufficient space of taking at least from roll web uncoiling and the paper used for recording sent part.
The upstream portion that in the downstream of printhead 3 is paper used for recording incorporating section 12 and discharge path 13 possesses switching and booting portion 11.This switching and booting portion 11 carries out front end with the paper used for recording 10 by printhead 3 and 12 carries or towards the switching that discharge path 13 is carried, as switching paper used for recording 10 to the part that switching direction guides, can be made of for example baffle plate towards the paper used for recording incorporating section.
In addition, printer 1 possesses paper used for recording cut-out portion 5 on the positive front position that on the discharge path 13 is outlet 6.5 pairs in paper used for recording cut-out portion is by discharge path 13 and the paper used for recording 10 sent to the outside from outlet 6, and the part of the anterior locations of outlet 6 is cut off.Paper used for recording cut-out portion 5 paper used for recording 10 from outlet 6 under the outstanding state in outside, cut off by assigned position at the rear of the recording surface of paper used for recording 10, can take out the paper used for recording of cutting off 10 from outlet 6, in addition, under the state before paper used for recording 10 is given prominence to from outlet 6, by paper used for recording 10 is cut off in many places, can be with paper used for recording 10 severings shortly.
On the lower position of this paper used for recording cut-out portion 5, be provided with cut off machine incorporating section 14, can take in cut off machine by 5 severings of paper used for recording cut-out portion.Because cut off machine is accommodated in the cut off machine incorporating section 14, can prevent the external leaks of cut off machine to printer 1.
Moreover, according to the structure of Fig. 1 and since cut off machine incorporating section 14 be arranged on Reel paper supporter 2 position adjacent on, so determined to form the opposing party's the border of paper used for recording incorporating section 12 of the peripheral part of above-mentioned Reel paper supporter 2.In Fig. 1, show an example that forms by the wall of cut off machine incorporating section 14 on the border of paper used for recording incorporating section 12, but the face that forms the border of the peripheral part of Reel paper supporter 2 and paper used for recording incorporating section 12 simultaneously is not limited to the wall into this cut off machine incorporating section 14, can use in printer 1, be configured in the relative locational component parts wall portion of peripheral part with roll web 2.
Printer 1 has drive division (roll web drive division 32, printhead drive division 33) that drives above-mentioned each component part or the control part of controlling (control part 30, switch control portion 31, cut-out control part 35), and RF-ID reads control part 34.
Roll web drive division 32 drives the roll web that is accommodated in the Reel paper supporter 2.Roll web drive division 32 can make driving direction counter-rotating, by with roll web to uncoiling direction rotating drive so that record-paper 10 is sent, by making the driving direction counter-rotating with roll web to rollback direction rotating drive, with paper used for recording 10 reduction of sending.At this, when paper used for recording 10 reduction that will send, on paper used for recording 10, print.
In addition, printhead drive division 33 drives printhead according to view data, the image and the literal of printing regulation on paper used for recording 10.Printhead can use and the printer of subliming type, the corresponding mechanisms of various mode of printings such as printer of thermal transfer type.In addition, possess the colour band drive division (not shown in figure 1) that drives colour band 4, synchronously colour band 4 is moved with respect to printhead, on record-paper 10, print with the driving of printhead.
Under the situation of using colour band to print, be printed on the length of all kinds that printing length on the paper used for recording 10 depends on colour band.For example, under the situation of carrying out the printing suitable with the photo of L version, 2L version, colour band has the corresponding size of size with L plate, 2L plate, prints by the length amount of for example mobile transverse direction.
Thereby the driving amount of roll web drive division 32 and colour band drive division (not shown) need be determined according to the kind that is arranged on the colour band 4a in the printer 1.At this, the sheet memory element (not shown) of RF-ID label etc. that has write down the kind data of this colour band 4a is installed in the ribbon cartridge 4, detects these memory elements by RF-ID reading part 34.
The kind data of colour band 4a have the information relevant with the size of the printed article that prints on paper used for recording.At this, this printed article is called medium, the printed dimensions of printed article is called the medium size.The medium size that is printed depends on the colour band that printing is used.Printer will be changed the colour band corresponding with the medium size in order to carry out the printing of different medium sizes.
In addition, printer of the present invention is beyond the medium dimension information of service recorder in the sheet memory element of RF-ID label etc. carries out printing treatment, when when power connection, will printing midway the paper used for recording that has stopped and discharging, obtain maximum print length according to the medium dimension information that writes among this ID, by the paper used for recording 10 of lucky this maximum print length amount is sent and cut off, prevent from same place, repeatedly to print a plurality of images.This structure and action will be described in detail in the back.
Control part 30 is obtained the kind of colour band from detected data, according to the kind control roll web drive division 32 of the colour band of obtaining and the driving amount of colour band drive division (not shown).
In addition, switch control portion 31 control switching and booting portions 11 carry out the switching towards the either direction of paper used for recording incorporating section 12 sides or discharge path 13 sides of the front end of paper used for recording 10.This switching controls for example, in press the front end with paper used for recording 10 switches to paper used for recording incorporating section 12 sides, paper used for recording 10 is temporarily kept out of the way, on the other hand, when printing finishes, the front end of paper used for recording 10 is switched to discharge path 13 sides, paper used for recording 10 is discharged to the outside from outlet 6.
Paper used for recording cuts off control part 35 control paper used for recording cut-out portions 5, paper used for recording 10 through discharge paths 13 from outlet 6 when discharge the outside, except the rear end with the recording section of paper used for recording 10 cuts off and be cut into 1 piece piece mode, can also become for paper used for recording 10 discarded grades and the shortly mode of severing.
Fig. 2 is the functional block diagram of the function of the control part 30 that is used to illustrate that printer 1 of the present invention possesses.At this, for the function of control part 30 is described, with block diagram each function is shown, but these functions are carried out at the memory of CPU, storage processing program and deal with data etc., by routine processes in the structure of handling part of data computation etc., can be under the indication of CPU the structure of handling by software, or also can for by DSP and logical circuit etc. by constituting that software is handled.
Control part 30 possesses image input part 30A, the control printhead drive division 33 of importing the view data of printing and the printing control unit 30B that controls the printing of view data, control roll web drive division 32 and cuts off the roll web control part 30C and the storage part 30D of the driving of control part 35.Storage part 30D have record by the 30a of image data storage portion of the view data of image data input unit 30A input, obtain from the medium dimension information-discharge rate storage part 30c of the relation of the discharge rate of the printed state data of printing control unit 30B and printed state storage part 30b, medium dimension information and the paper used for recording stored etc.Moreover, because printed state storage part 30b and medium dimension information-discharge rate storage part 30c are made of non-volatile memory, under the state of power-off, also keeping memory contents, after power supply is connected again, can read from roll web control part 3c.
In addition, though not shownly go out, storage part 30D has the program of the explanation printing treatment that is produced by printing control unit 30B beyond above-mentioned each the storage part 30a~30c of storage, and the storage part of the program of control printer integral body etc., is omitted in this explanation.
Below, use the flow chart shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4, time diagram shown in Figure 5, the action of the explanation shown in Fig. 6 example figure, and the figure of the relation of explanation medium dimension information shown in Figure 7 and maximum print length the removal action of the printing paper used for recording midway of printer of the present invention is described.
In printing action, stop and residual under the state of printing printing midway on the paper used for recording, when power supply is connected again, the printing zone that printing zone that produces for fear of last time printing and this printing produce overlapping, need (a) to confirm to have or not the overlapping necessity of avoiding printing zone, and (b) under the overlapping situation of needs avoidance printing zone, carry out the paper feeding of optimum length, remove printing last time.
At this, printer of the present invention is by being stored in printed state among the printed state storage part 30b, according to this printed state judge when the stopping last time whether be printing midway, confirm to have or not the overlapping necessity of avoiding printing zone.This processing can be undertaken by roll web control part 30C and printed state storage part 30b.
In addition, in above-mentioned judgement, be judged to be in press under the situation that the printing action stops under the state of way, by obtaining the maximum print length in the printing condition of in this printer, setting, send also cutting off of drum according to the length amount of this maximum print length with paper, printing paper used for recording is midway removed, and in addition, the length of the paper used for recording of removal is according to the big or small automatic setting that is printed on the printing zone on the paper used for recording.
This processing by roll web control part 30C, RF-ID reading part 34, and medium dimension information-discharge rate storage part 30 carry out.Roll web control part 30C obtains the medium dimension information that reads from RF-ID reading part 34, read and the corresponding discharge rate of this medium dimension information from medium dimension information-discharge rate storage part 30c, this discharge rate is driven roll web drive division 32 so that roll web is sent as maximum print length, and the roll web of sending cuts off by cutting off control part 35.
Flow chart shown in Fig. 3 shows the action from the electric power starting of printer to power-off, and the printed state before this electric power starting is stored among the printed state storage part 30b.At this, the printed state that is stored among the printed state storage part 30b is used as " in the action " storage under for example for printing situation midway, store as " printing finishes " under the situation of printing end.
At first, in printing action last time, the action of the memory print situation of printed state storage part 30b describes.Fig. 4 shows that to finish the back power supply in printing treatment in last time the printing action be the situation of closing, and Fig. 5 shows in the preceding printing action that power supply is the situation of closing before printing treatment finishes.

Roll web control part 30C is printed state how according to the printed state of reading when judging last time release.In the printed state of reading from printed state storage part 30b is under the situation of " printing finishes ", can be judged to be printing normal termination last time, is on the record-paper in the printer not have printing part midway.On the other hand, the printed state of reading from printed state storage part 30b for the action situation under, the printing that can be judged to be last time is not normally to finish, and being in residually on the paper used for recording in the printer has printing part (l of Fig. 4 (e), the l of Fig. 5 (e)) midway (S4).
In the judgement operation of (S4), be under the situation of " in the action " in printed state, the paper used for recording that needs to have remaining printing is discharged.At this, roll web control part 30C obtains the maximum print length in this printing according to the medium dimension information that had before read in, and obtains the discharge rate (S5) of paper used for recording, discharges processing (o of Fig. 5 (e)).Thus, do not discharge (p, the q of Fig. 5 (c)) (S6) with discharging the residual paper used for recording in ground in the printing last time, roll web control part 30C changes printed state storage part 30b and is written as printing and finishes (r of Fig. 5 (e)) (S8) from " the action ", state (s of Fig. 5 (c)) to be printed such as become.
On the other hand, in the judgement operation of (S4), be under the situation of " printing finishes " in printed state, owing to there is not paper used for recording, do not handle so do not need to discharge with remaining printing.
Roll web control part 30C is (l of Fig. 4 (e)) after determination processing, and printed state storage part 30b still is " printing finish ", keeps state (m of Fig. 4 (e)) that printing waits for (S7).
Fig. 6 shows the action by printer of the present invention, and the paper used for recording that will have the part of printing in the preceding printing is discharged, and the state that prints on paper used for recording.
Fig. 6 (a) shows the state that is printed on Halfway Stopping, and Fig. 6 (b)~(d) shows the state after power supply is connected again.In addition, in Fig. 6, paper used for recording 10 remains on the Reel paper supporter 2 with reeling, on the paper used for recording 10 of pulling out from Reel paper supporter 2, prints by the printing ink that is adhered to the glue sheet colour band that remains in the ribbon cartridge 4 by printhead 3.
In printer of the present invention, under the situation that stops halfway printing because power failure waits, midway paper used for recording 10 of printing is not discharged from, still residual the state (Fig. 6 (a)) that has printed the printing zone 10a that printing last time produces on recording surface on paper used for recording 10.
In above-mentioned state, under the situation that power supply is connected again, the maximum print length that will obtain according to the medium dimension information that is recorded on the RF-ID is discharged (Fig. 6 (b)) as discharge rate with paper used for recording 10, cuts off (Fig. 6 (c)) by paper used for recording cut-out portion 5.Cut off by the paper used for recording 10 that will have this part that is completed for printing, the paper used for recording that remains on the Reel paper supporter 2 is adjusted to A-stage, after, print (Fig. 6 (d)) by common printing treatment.
Fig. 7 shows the relation of medium dimension information and maximum print length.Fig. 7 (a) shows the relation of medium dimension information A and maximum print length L a, and Fig. 7 (b) shows the relation of medium dimension information B and maximum print length L b.Moreover, not the relation that shows actual ratio at the size relationship shown in this by medium dimension information A, B definite maximum print length L a, Lb.
The colour band that printing is used has the color part and the protective layer (OC) of yellow (Y), pinkish red (M), cyan (C), handles to finish all print by protective mulch on the printing surface after finishing in panchromatic printing.Each length of the color part of these yellow (Y), pinkish red (M), cyan (C) is roughly the same length, and the length setting of protective layer (OC) be and partly each length equal length of color or long slightly.
Thereby length the longest in the length of the length of the printing zone that is formed by once printing treatment with each length of the color part of these yellow (Y), pinkish red (M), cyan (C), protective layer (OC) is as the maximum print length L.Thereby maximum print length depends on the size of printing zone, and this printing zone is determined by for example medium sizes such as L version, 2L version or 5A size.Conduct and the corresponding maximum print length of medium dimension information A are defined as La in Fig. 7 (a), and conduct is defined as Lb with the corresponding maximum print length of medium dimension information B among Fig. 7 (b).Determine discharge rate according to this maximum print length, by correspondingly the paper used for recording that is completed for printing being discharged and removed with the length amount of this discharge rate, what can prevent to print is overlapping.
The medium dimension information is recorded in the recording mediums such as RF-ID, be installed in the ribbon cartridge that has disposed colour band, by reading by the RF-ID reading part that is arranged on the printer body, can obtain automatically synchronously with the replacing of colour band, can obtain discharge rate according to the medium dimension information.
