The technical scheme of the application obtains, stores, uses and processes the data and the like all conform to the relevant regulations of national laws and regulations.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a printer ribbon management method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the present embodiment is applicable to managing a ribbon of a thermal transfer printer, and the method according to the present embodiment may be performed by a printer ribbon management device, which may be implemented in hardware and/or software. The apparatus may be deployed in a server for printer ribbon management. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s110, configuring a corresponding radio frequency identification card and a target color band for the target printer.
Wherein the target printer may refer to a thermal transfer printer; the thermal transfer printer instantly passes through a certain current through tiny thermistors distributed on a printing head, so that the thermal transfer printer instantly generates higher temperature to transfer ink on a color belt to the surface of a printing medium, and a pattern is formed. The product printed by thermal transfer printing can withstand time and can be kept unchanged for a long time; the printed characters can be stored for a long time, are not discolored, cannot be worn out due to contact with a solvent, and cannot be deformed and discolored due to higher temperature. Products printed by thermal transfer printers include, but are not limited to, product bar codes, bar codes on clothing, train tickets, boarding passes, luggage passes, and the like.
The radio frequency identification card can refer to that the reader transmits radio wave energy with a specific frequency to drive the circuit to send out internal data, and at the moment, the reader sequentially receives the read data and sends the read data to the application program for corresponding processing. In the embodiment of the application, the ribbon limit which is the same as the target ribbon total limit value is stored in the radio frequency identification card; and identifying the target printer through the radio frequency identification card and transferring the preset number of ribbon units to the target printer. The working frequency of the radio frequency identification card adopted by the embodiment of the application can be preferably 13.56MHz, and the identification distance is about 10cm, so that the card swiping of a user can be facilitated, and the mutual interference of other printer devices adjacent to the target printer can be avoided. The working frequency, the working efficiency and the identification distance of the rfid card are not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.
As an alternative but non-limiting implementation manner, the configuring the corresponding rfid card and the target ribbon for the target printer includes, but is not limited to, steps A1-A2:
step A1: configuring a corresponding radio frequency identification card for a target printer; the ribbon limit data in the radio frequency identification card is stored in an encrypted mode; when the radio frequency identification card reads and writes data, determining whether the color band limit data in the radio frequency identification card is encrypted and legal; and discarding the target data if the read target data does not accord with the preset encryption mode or the target data is illegal.
Step A2: configuring a corresponding target color band for a target printer; the target color band comprises at least one color band, and the at least one color band corresponds to one color band limit value respectively; the ribbon limit value stored in the radio frequency identification card is equal to the sum of the ribbon limit values of the various ribbons.
The current thermal transfer printer device does not have a ribbon identification function, and cannot identify whether the ribbon is a recommended brand and model. End users often purchase ribbon products that are not recommended by the thermal transfer printer manufacturer for cost-effective or other reasons, which are not verified on the thermal transfer printer and therefore have difficulty guaranteeing their print results. Meanwhile, in order to occupy the market, part of ribbon manufacturers adopt a low-price strategy to lower the cost of the ribbon, so that the quality of ribbon products is uneven, the printing effect is also not ideal, and the normal production work of users is influenced; the end user does not understand the principle, and complains about the printer equipment manufacturer, so that the after-sale cost of the printer equipment manufacturer is increased. In the embodiment of the application, the corresponding target color ribbon is configured for the target printer, so that poor printing effect and influence on printing efficiency caused by adopting unqualified color ribbon are avoided. And storing the total amount of the target color band configured for the target printer into the radio frequency identification card, and providing the color band amount for the target printer. The target color band may include a plurality of color bands, and the sum of the color bands is stored in the radio frequency identification card. For example, if 3 color bands are configured for the target printer and the sum of each color band is 100, the total sum of the target color bands is 300; and storing the 300-limit ribbon in the radio frequency identification card, transferring the preset number of ribbon limits to the target printer when the target printer is used for the first time, and transferring the preset number of ribbon limits to the target printer again when the target printer is insufficient.
In order to avoid intentional tampering of the ribbon line in the radio frequency identification card, the data in the radio frequency identification card is encrypted and stored. When the radio frequency identification card read-write equipment on the target printer equipment reads and writes data, judging whether the data in the radio frequency identification card is encrypted and legal or not; if the read data does not accord with the specific encryption mode or the data is illegal, the data in the radio frequency identification card is discarded, but the color band limit in the radio frequency identification card is kept unchanged. In the embodiment of the application, one radio frequency identification card can be matched with a plurality of target printers, and the plurality of target printers can share the ribbon limit in one radio frequency identification card, so that the cost can be saved and the operation of a user is convenient.
S120, detecting the running state of the target printer, and determining whether the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is larger than a preset ribbon limit threshold.
Wherein the remaining ribbon amount in the target printer can reflect the operational status of the target printer. The residual ribbon limit exists in the target printer, and the target printer is in a normal running state; if the residual ribbon limit does not exist in the target printer, the target printer is in a stop running state. Thus, whether there is a remaining ribbon amount in the target ribbon configured by the target printer can be determined by the operation state of the target printer. The remaining ribbon limit in the target ribbon configured by the target printer is the remaining ribbon limit in the target printer.
As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, the detecting the operation state of the target printer determines whether the remaining ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold, including but not limited to steps B1-B3:
step B1: determining an operating state of the target printer; the operation state includes a normal operation and a stop operation state.
Step B2: and if the target printer operates normally, determining that the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold.
Step B3: and if the target printer stops running, determining that the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is not greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold.
Determining whether the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold according to the running state of the target printer; in the embodiment of the present application, the preset ribbon limit threshold may be 0. For example, if the target printer is in an operational state, indicating that a certain ribbon amount exists in the target printer, it may be determined that the remaining ribbon amount of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is greater than 0. If the target printer is in the stop running state, characterizing that the ribbon limit in the target printer is 0, that is, the remaining ribbon limit of the target ribbon configured by the target printer is not greater than the preset ribbon limit threshold.
And S130, if the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon is not greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold, transferring the preset number of ribbon limits to the target ribbon for normal operation of the target printer through the card swiping operation of the radio frequency identification card.
And determining the corresponding operation of the radio frequency identification card or the target printer according to the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon. For example, if the remaining ribbon limit of the target ribbon is greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold, the target printer operates normally to print. If the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon is not greater than the preset ribbon limit threshold, transferring the preset number of ribbon limits to the target ribbon through the radio frequency identification card for normal operation of the target printer.
As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, if the remaining ribbon amount of the target ribbon is not greater than the preset ribbon amount threshold, transferring the preset number of ribbon amounts to the target ribbon for the normal operation of the target printer through the card swiping operation of the rfid card, including but not limited to steps C1-C3:
step C1: and if the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon is not greater than the preset ribbon limit threshold, triggering the ribbon limit shortage early warning by the target printer and locking the target printer to stop running.
Step C2: and reading the preset number of ribbon units into the target printer through the card swiping operation of the radio frequency identification card.
Step C3: the RFID card reduces the preset number of ribbon lines and stores the target remaining ribbon lines of the RFID card.
And the target printer equipment is provided with a special radio frequency identification card reader for reading and writing data of the radio frequency identification card. When a user installs a new roll of ribbon, if the ribbon limit in the target printer is greater than 0, the ribbon limit in the target printer is reduced by one, and the device works normally; if the ribbon limit in the target printer is 0, the target printer triggers the ribbon limit shortage early warning to prompt the user to perform the card swiping operation and locks the target printer to be unable to perform the printing operation.
Optionally, when the user receives the warning of insufficient ribbon line, the user performs the card swiping operation by approaching the radio frequency identification card to the target printer, the ribbon line in the radio frequency identification card is reduced by a certain line, and the same number of ribbon lines are added in the target printer. In order to reduce the frequency of card swiping of the user, a preset number of ribbon credits reduced in the rfid card can be set on the target printer each time. And if the residual ribbon amount in the radio frequency identification card is smaller than the preset number of ribbon amounts, transferring all the residual ribbon amounts to the target printer.
As an alternative but non-limiting implementation, before the preset number of ribbon units are read into the target printer by the card swiping operation of the rfid card, the method further includes, but is not limited to, steps D1-D3:
step D1: and the target printer enters a card swiping mode, periodically sends a data reading instruction and determines whether the radio frequency identification card data is read.
Step D2: if the radio frequency identification card data is determined not to be read, continuing to send the data reading instruction.
Step D3: if the RFID card data are read, the target printer increases the ribbon limit of the preset data.
Referring to fig. 2, after the target printer triggers the early warning of insufficient ribbon amount, the target printer enters a card swiping mode and periodically sends a data reading instruction; and when the target printer reads the radio frequency identification card data, stopping sending a data reading instruction, and increasing the preset number of ribbon units by the target printer.
In the embodiment of the application, in order to prevent a user from swiping a card by mistake or swiping a card repeatedly, and simultaneously reduce the power consumption of the target printer, the target printer can enter a card swiping mode only when the target printer triggers the early warning of insufficient ribbon amount, and periodically sends a radio frequency identification card reading data command. Under other conditions, the target printer does not enter a card swiping mode, and a user cannot perform card swiping operation.
As an optional but non-limiting implementation manner, the transferring the preset number of ribbon credits to the target ribbon for the target printer to operate normally through the card swiping operation of the radio frequency identification card further includes:
and transferring the preset number of ribbon lines to the target ribbon through the card swiping operation of the radio frequency identification card, and acquiring the preset number of ribbon lines by the target printer, and clearing the ribbon line shortage early warning and unlocking on the target printer so that the target printer operates normally.
After a user swipes a card, the target printer acquires a preset number of ribbon lines and clears the ribbon line shortage early warning on the target printer; and unlocking the target printer to enable the target printer to normally operate.
The embodiment of the application provides a printer ribbon management method, which is implemented by configuring a corresponding radio frequency identification card and a target ribbon for a target printer; the radio frequency identification card is used for storing a target color band total value unit, wherein the color band total value unit is the same as the target color band total value unit; detecting the running state of a target printer, and determining whether the residual ribbon limit of a target ribbon configured by the target printer is greater than a preset ribbon limit threshold; and if the residual ribbon limit of the target ribbon is not greater than the preset ribbon limit threshold, transferring the preset number of ribbon limits to the target ribbon for normal operation of the target printer through the card swiping operation of the radio frequency identification card.
