JPH0334881A - Apparatus for confirming completion of printing of bond sheet - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm that printing is correctly applied to a bond piece by providing a printing/reading means printing confirmation data on the bond piece to read the printing data on the bond piece and a collation mean collating the recognition data read by the reading means with confirmation data to output the collation result. CONSTITUTION:The confirmation data given from a higher order apparatus is printed on the final line of a security bond sheet 5 on printing/confirmation data 16 as a bar code 7 by a printing head 1. Thereafter, the bar code 7 printed on the bond piece 5 is recognized by operating bar code scanner 6. A whole control part 12 receives the recognition data recognized by the bar code scanner 6 through a bar code recognition control part 11 and sends recognition data/ confirmation data 13 to a collation part 15 which in turn collates the recognition data and the confirmation data to obtain a collation result 14. The whole control part 12 returns completion information containing the collation result to the higher order apparatus on the basis of said collation result. As mentioned above, by reading and collating the printing of the confirmation data and a printing result, it can be confirmed that printing is performed correctly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ticket printing device, and in particular, to printing of a ticket that can reliably confirm that printing has been completed by reading verification after printing confirmation data on the ticket. Concerning completion confirmation method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, in this type of printing confirmation system, printing is completed when the printing operation is completed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention With the conventional printing completion confirmation method described above, it was possible to confirm the completion of an operation, but it was not possible to confirm whether the data was actually printed and whether it was correct. There were some drawbacks.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology and to make it possible to confirm that the ticket is printed without error. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new method for confirming the completion of ticket printing.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the method for confirming the completion of printing of a valuable ticket according to the present invention prints confirmation data on the ticket to confirm the printing of the ticket, and then It is equipped with a printing and reading means for reading the printed data (confirmation data) of the ticket piece, and a collation means for collating the recognition data recognized by the reading means with the verification data and outputting the collation result. It is characterized by confirming complete completion of printing by reading and verifying the final printed data on the ticket.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram of a printing apparatus implementing a ticket printing completion confirmation method according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a print head, and the print head 1 is mounted so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the platen 3 by a print head driver 2. As shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 4 indicates a platen control mechanism, and reference numeral 5 indicates a valuable ticket piece.

The barcode scanner 6 scans the barcode printed on the ticket, and is mounted on the printing head trifer 2 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the platen 3. 7 is the barcode printed on the ticket piece 5, 9 is the head/
11 is a mechanical control section, 11 is a recognition control section, 12 is an overall control section that controls each part of the whole, 15 is a collation section that collates recognition data and confirmation data, and 18 is a mechanism section.

During operation, the print head 2 prints confirmation data given from a host device (not shown) as printing/confirmation data 16 using the bar code 7 on the last line of the value ticket 5.

Thereafter, the barcode 7 printed on the ticket piece 5 is recognized by operating the barcode scanner 6. The overall control unit 12 receives the recognition data recognized by the barcode scanner 6 via the barcode recognition control unit 11,
The recognition data/confirmation data 13 is sent to the collation unit 15, the recognition data and the confirmation data are collated, and a collation result 14 can be obtained. Based on this verification result, the overall control unit 12 can return the completion notification 17 including the verification result to the binary device.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, printing of confirmation data (e.g., printing by barcode) and reading verification of the print result (
For example, a barcode scanner and a verification unit), it is possible to confirm that printing has been completed without any errors, rather than that the printing operation is complete.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a printing device implementing the ticket printing completion confirmation method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the printing device according to the present invention.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a ticket printing device, a printing/reading means for reading the printed data on the ticket after printing confirmation data for confirming the printing of the ticket on the ticket, and recognition data read by the reading means. Ticket printing completion confirmation, characterized in that it has a collation means that collates the confirmation data with the verification data and outputs the verification result, and enables complete printing completion confirmation by reading and collating the final print data of the ticket. method.
