In addition, the mint-mark of mint-mark assembly 80 begins, and not necessarily the front end that detects band with front end detecting sensor 91 is an enabling signal, also can manually boot by beginning key by the mint-mark on the lower keyboard 3.
Below, with reference to Fig. 6 the control formation of label creating apparatus 1 is described.Label creating apparatus 1 comprises: operating portion 110, and it comprises keyboard 3 and display 4, is used for constituting user interface by user's inputting word information and the various information of demonstration etc.; China ink word printing portion 120, it comprises tape drum C, printhead 7 and prints and carry motor 121, and in the course of conveying of handling band T and ink band R, is handling the black digital data of printing on the band T based on Word message; Cut-out portion 140, it comprises band clipper 19, semi-shear device 20, the clipper motor 141 that drives these and semi-shear device motor 142, is used for carrying out half cut-off and full the cut-out to handling band T; Braille-embossing portion 150, it comprises solenoid 47, mint-mark pin 41 and mint-mark conveying motor 151, and in the course of conveying of handling band T, mint-mark is based on the some digital data of Word message on processing band T; Test section 170, it is used to carry out various detections; Be used to drive the drive division 180 of each several part; And control part 200, it connects various piece, is used to control all of label creating apparatus 1.In addition, test section 170 comprises: band identification sensor 171, and it is used for detecting the kind of handling band T (tape drum C); Front-end detection sensor 91, it detects the front end of handling band T in braille-embossing portion 150; Front and back identification sensor 92, it is detecting the front and back identifying information D that is printed on the processing band T equally in braille-embossing portion 150; Printing portion speed probe 172, it detects prints the rotating speed of carrying motor 121; Mint-mark portion speed probe 173, it detects the rotating speed that motor 151 is carried in mint-mark.In addition, drive division 180 comprises display driver 181, head driver 182, prints and carry motor driver 183, clipper motor driver 184, semi-shear device motor driver 187, mint-mark motor driver 185 and mint-mark to carry motor driver 186.
The logic circuit that is made of gate array or customization LSI etc. is housed on the IOC 250, and the function of its additional CPU 210 is used to handle the interface signal with various peripheral circuits simultaneously.Thus, IOC 250 can directly or after the processing enroll internal bus 260 with the input data or the control data of keyboard 3, simultaneously and CPU 210 interlocks, will directly or after the processing output to drive division 180 from data or the control signal that CPU 210 outputs to internal bus 260.
And CPU 210 according to the control program in the ROM 220, imports various signals, data by IOC 250 from the each several part in the label creating apparatus 1 by said structure.And according to the various signals of input, the data imported, the various data in the RAM 230 are handled, export various signals, data through the each several part of IOC 250 in label creating apparatus 1, control black word print processing or braille-embossing thus and handle.
For example, CPU 210 is by keyboard 3 inputting word informations the time, generate black word print data in view of the above and also temporarily store in the black word print data piece 232, generate the braille-embossing data equally according to Word message simultaneously and also temporarily store in the braille-embossing data block 233.And, in case obtain the indication (carrying out the indication of first pattern) of black word printing and braille-embossing from keyboard 3, print and carry motor 121 just to begin to drive, testing result according to printing portion speed probe 172 drives printhead 7, thus the black word based on the black digital data in the black word print data piece 232 is printed.In addition, at this moment, with the black digital data while, the printing of identifying information D and flag information G before and after also carrying out (according to the data that are stored in advance in the control data piece 222).Then, (when importing, Word message can set under the situation of length of rear end space length based on black word print data by carrying out, also comprise this rear end clear data) the band of specific length carry, will handle band T by band clipper 19 and cut off, and from 22 discharges of type belt outlet.
In addition, (not carrying out reset operation or turning off under the state of power supply), in the time will being cut into short rectangular processing band T by the manual insertion of user and inserting the mint-mark band and insert mouthfuls 31, as mentioned above, by driving mint-mark assembly 80 and band conveying mechanism 60, overturn point digital data B ' (with reference to Fig. 9) based in braille-embossing data block 233 or the overturn point digital data piece 236 carries out braille-embossing.And, after mint-mark finishes, carry the driving of motor 151 by mint-mark, carry out (when Word message is imported, can setting under the situation of length of rear end space length based on the braille-embossing data, also comprise this rear end clear data) the band of specific length carry, discharge from mint-mark band outlet 32 and handle band T.
Below, with reference to Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 whole processing of label creating apparatus 1 are described.As shown in Figure 7, begin to handle by pressing power key (connection power supply).At first,, carry out initial setting (S10), each the control sign that has withdrawed from is restored etc., and detect the classification (S11) of band by band identification sensor 171 (with reference to Fig. 6) in order to return the state of last time during dump.And the band classification of Jian Ceing is bandwidth (handles band T1:24mm, handle band T2:18mm, handle band T3:12mm, with reference to Fig. 9) in the present embodiment.
Then, the user is by external device (ED) inputting word informations (S12) such as keyboard 3 or microcomputers, and (first tupe, second tupe, the 3rd tupe S13), and are set and arranged (S14) to select tupe.In arrangement sets (S14), black word print range Ep on the processing band T and the layout of braille-embossing scope Eb are to set according to the selection result of band testing result (S11) and tupe.
For example, when tupe is set at first tupe, as shown in Figure 9, in the testing result of bandwidth (with reference to Fig. 9 A) under the situation of 24mm (handling band T1), the layout of its selection is following any one: black word print range Ep is on top, and braille-embossing scope Eb is in the bottom (a-1); Perhaps black word print range Ep is in the bottom, and braille-embossing scope Eb is on top (a-2).And, handle band T be meant up and down with front and back identifying information D as band direction of insertion (left) and with record paper T1 during as the outside about.In addition, when the testing result of bandwidth is 18mm (handling band T2) (with reference to Fig. 9 B), the layout of its selection also can be black word print range Ep on top, braille-embossing scope Eb bottom (b-1) or black word print range Ep in the bottom, braille-embossing scope Eb any one in top (b-2), but, at this moment, cooperate with the width of band, black word print range Ep narrows down along the bandwidth direction.In addition, when the testing result of band is 12mm (handling band T3) (with reference to Fig. 9 C), the layout that can only select black word print range Ep to overlap with braille-embossing scope Eb, so, when the testing result of bandwidth is 12mm and when being set to first tupe, the selection that the user can not arrange.
In addition, when selecting second tupe (only carrying out black word prints) in the selection (S13) at tupe, arrange in (S14) setting, just can carry out the arrangement sets of the character size, line number etc. of black word printing with general WP etc.In addition, when selecting the 3rd tupe (only carrying out braille prints) in the selection (S13) at tupe, when bandwidth is 24mm (band T1), can select braille-embossing scope Eb is located at arbitrary position (with reference to Fig. 9 A) in top or the bottom; When bandwidth is 18mm (band T2), can select braille-embossing scope Eb is set in upper end side or the lower end side any.Just, because one group 200 the size (length of bandwidth direction) of braille B fixes, so when bandwidth was 18mm, (upper end side or lower end side) (with reference to Fig. 9 B) set near the scope of an end of bandwidth direction.When bandwidth is 12mm (band T3), because bandwidth be can only the mint-mark braille one group 200 the minimum dimension (with reference to Fig. 3 A) of size (length of bandwidth direction), so, when the testing result of bandwidth is 12mm and when being set to the 3rd tupe, the selection that the user can not arrange.
And in case the setting of arranging is performed (S14), black word is printed and/or the processing of braille-embossing just begins automatically.Just, when selecting first tupe (S13:(a)), in the cloth postpone of having set (selections), black word printing portion 120 just begins to carry out black word printing (S15).And, after black word is printed, to handle band T and be discharged from (S16) from type belt outlet 22, display 4 demonstrates to the mint-mark band and inserts mouthful 31 indications (S17) of inserting band.In addition, this shows also and can be carried out by indicator or LED.The user will handle band T insertion mint-mark band and insert mouth 31 according to band insertion indication, so, braille-embossing portion 150 beginning mint-mark brailles (S18), behind braille-embossing, the processing band T that mint-mark finishes is from 32 discharges (S19) of mint-mark band outlet, and processing finishes.
That is, in first tupe, shown in Fig. 8 A, be sent to black word printing portion 120 by the processing band T that from the tape drum C that installs, sends successively, the processing band T that stamping ink word P thus, black word print back (band cuts off the back) delivers to braille-embossing portion 150 by manual insertion, thus mint-mark braille B.In addition, at this moment, the 150 pairs of front and back identifying information D of braille-embossing portion detects, decide the braille-embossing direction according to testing result and the layout that sets, and, when the direction of insertion of the confused band of user, do not carry out braille-embossing (describing in detail as hereinafter described).
In addition, when having selected second tupe (S13:(b)), behind stamping ink word in the black word printing portion 120 (S20), to discharge from type belt outlet 22 and to handle band T (S21), processing finishes.Just, in second tupe, shown in Fig. 8 B, be sent to black word printing portion 120, stamping ink word P thus by the processing band T that from the tape drum C that installs, sends successively.And, when selecting second tupe, the printing of identifying information D before and after can omitting.
When selecting the 3rd tupe (S13:(c)), display 4 demonstrates to the mint-mark band and inserts mouthful 31 indications (S22) of inserting band, after inserting band to carry out braille-embossing by the user (S23), the processing band T that mint-mark finishes discharges (S24) from mint-mark band outlet 32, and processing finishes.Just, in the 3rd tupe, shown in Fig. 8 C, deliver to braille-embossing portion 150, mint-mark braille B thus by lacking manual insertion of rectangular band (being cut into the band of random length) T.And identical during at this moment also with selection first tupe, the 150 pairs of front and back identifying information D of braille-embossing portion detects, decide the direction of braille-embossing according to testing result and the layout that sets, and, when the direction of insertion of the confused band of user, do not carry out braille-embossing.In addition, when selecting the 3rd tupe, the detection of identifying information D before and after can omitting.And, in the 3rd tupe, the detection of identifying information D before and after also can selecting whether to carry out by the user.
In addition, described in front in, be from three kinds of tupes, to select, still, can insert black word printing portion 120 by lacking rectangular processing band, can behind braille-embossing, append black word printing model thus.On the contrary, also can tape drum C be installed, be with the mint-mark braille in the processing of the strip of sending successively from this tape drum C at the upstream side of braille-embossing portion 150.And black word is printed and also can not printed/mint-mark according to identical Word message with braille-embossing, but carries out according to different Word messages.
Below, with reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 the braille-embossing of label creating apparatus 1 is handled to describe.At this, be that to be set at first tupe (with reference to the S13 of Fig. 7) be that example describes for 24mm (handle band T1) (with reference to the S11 of Fig. 7), tupe with detected bandwidth.
As shown in figure 10, execution is inserted mouthfuls 31 indications of inserting band (S31 is equivalent to S17 and the S22 of Fig. 7) to the mint-mark band, inserts processing band T after black word is printed by the user, so, detect the front end (S32) of handling band T by front-end detection sensor 91 (with reference to Fig. 5).And, be benchmark with this front-end detection, detect by the rotating speed of mint-mark portion speed probe 173 (with reference to Fig. 6) conveying roller 61, judge the band delivered length according to detected rotating speed.
After detecting the front end (S32) of handling band T, then detect (S33) by 92 pairs of front and back of front and back identification sensor identifying information D.Before and after the detection of identifying information D be along with the specific length that can detect these front and back identifying information D (for example, length L 3 (with reference to Fig. 5) on from the band front end to the bandwidth direction the identifying information D of front and back, add the length L 4 (with reference to Fig. 5) between front-end detection sensor 91 and the front and back identification sensor 92, on the length that addition obtains, add the length of the specific length gained of having considered to detect error) band carry (band of forward is carried) to carry out.Just, when detecting front and back identifying information D in the band course of conveying of specific length, then judgment processing band T inserts (S34:Yes) from front; On the contrary, even when the band of having carried specific length also can not detect front and back identifying information D, then judgment processing band T inserts (S34:No) from rear end side.In addition, when setting than the length L 1 mint-mark assembly 80 (mint-mark pin 41) and the front-end detection sensor 91 in short-term to the front end space length between the mint-mark starting position from the band front end, the contrary rotation of conveying roller 61 is to carry out behind the identifying information D before and after detecting.
And, decide mint-mark starting position (time) according to the testing result of mint-mark portion speed probe 173 and the some digital data of generation (also comprising from the band front end), and begin the mint-mark braille from this position to the front end clear data the mint-mark starting position.At this, when layout be set to black word print range Ep on top, braille-embossing scope Eb is in the bottom when (a-1), along positive direction mint-mark point digital data (general mint-mark) (S36).Promptly, in the present embodiment, because mint-mark assembly 80 and the position relative (with reference to Figure 11) that is close to the bottom of being with walking path 70 widths, so, the formation that braille-embossing scope Eb is set in the bottom is basic layout, in basic layout, when the front of being with T from processing is inserted, carry out general mint-mark.And, after braille-embossing is finished, carry out the band of specific length and carry, discharge the processing band T (S37) that finishes mint-mark from mint-mark band outlet 32.
In contrast, when layout be set to black word print range Ep in the bottom, braille-embossing scope Eb is on top (a-2) (S35:No) time, because be set as and the opposite layout of basic layout, so, when the front of being with T from processing is inserted, with regard to the direction of insertion of confused processing band T, so forbid braille-embossing (S38).Promptly, the user must change the direction of insertion (must must insert from rear end side when layout is a-2 from front when layout is a-1) of handling band T according to the layout of setting, still, when judging the direction of insertion mistake, then forbid mint-mark by the detection of front and back identifying information D.
In addition, insert (S34:No) when handling band T from rear end side, and arrangement sets be black word print range Ep on top, braille-embossing scope Eb is in the bottom when (a-1) (S39:Yes), with respect to the layout of setting, the direction of insertion of handling band T is wrong, so forbid mint-mark.
In addition, insert (S34:No) when handling band T from rear end side, and arrangement sets be black word print range Ep in the bottom, braille-embossing scope Eb is on top when (a-2) (S39:No), arrange with respect to setting, the direction of insertion of handling band T is correct, so, carry out mint-mark (S41) will putting under the state of digital data Rotate 180 °.
Promptly, shown in Figure 11 A, when being set at basic layout (a-1), along last upward guide piece 71,72, the processing band T (T1) of identifying information D inserts before and after will having in the leading section lower left, detect the front end of band by front-end detection sensor 91 after, when detecting front and back identifying information D in the band course of conveying of front and back identification sensor 92 in specific length, judgment processing band T correctly inserts from front, and read some digital data in the braille-embossing data block 233 (with reference to Fig. 6), begin the mint-mark braille from the front of a digital data.
In addition, as described above, so-called some digital packets drawn together: be used for Word message (is " あ い う " at this) mint-mark braille the B data division, front end clear data and the rear end clear data that generate according to input.Therefore, so-called " beginning mint-mark (forward mint-mark braille) from the front of a digital data " is meant: be listed as the data of vertical three mint-mark point 201d, e, f, the left column vertical three mint-mark point 201a, the b that are equivalent to second literal (is " い " at this), the data of c according to the data of front end clear data, the left column vertical three mint-mark point 201a, the b that are equivalent to initial literal (is " あ " at this), c (with reference to Fig. 3 A), the right side that is equivalent to initial literal (is " あ " at this) ... order carry out mint-mark, last mint-mark rear end clear data.
Shown in Figure 11 B, when being set at the layout opposite (a-2) with basic layout, handle band T and must insert (mint-mark assembly 80 can not carry out mint-mark) (with reference to Figure 11 D) from rear end side, but, detect the front end of band by front-end detection sensor 91 after, during identifying information D, then be judged as user error ground and be with the T front to insert from handling before and after detecting by front and back identification sensor 92 during the band of specific length is carried, mint-mark is under an embargo.
In addition, shown in Figure 11 C, when being set at basic layout (a-1), handle band T and must insert (with reference to Figure 11 A) from front, but, detect the band front end by front-end detection sensor 91 after, when detecting to go out front and back identifying information D by front and back identification sensor 92 in the band course of conveying in specific length, then be judged as user error ground and inserted from handling band T rear end side, mint-mark is under an embargo.
In addition, shown in Figure 11 D, when being set at the layout (a-2) opposite with basic layout, as mentioned above, handling band T need insert from rear end side, detect the band front end by front-end detection sensor 91 after, in the band course of conveying of specific length, can not detect front and back identifying information D by front and back identification sensor 92, be judged as thus and handle band T correctly when has inserted the rear end, then read the overturn point digital data B ' (with reference to Fig. 9 A) in the overturn point digital data piece 235 (with reference to Fig. 6) and carry out mint-mark (beginning mint-mark) from the end side of braille.In addition, so-called " beginning mint-mark (carrying out mint-mark under the state of a digital data Rotate 180 °) from the end side of braille " is meant: according to the rear end clear data, the right side that will be equivalent to last literal (is " う " at this) is listed as vertical three mint-mark point 201d, e, the data that the data upset of f (with reference to Fig. 3 A) is 180 °, vertical three the mint-mark point 201a of left column that will be equivalent to last literal (is " う " at this), b, the data that the data upset of c is 180 °, the right side that will be equivalent to penult literal (is " い " at this) is listed as vertical three mint-mark point 201d, e, the data that the upset of the data of f is 180 ° ... order carry out mint-mark, last mint-mark front end clear data.
Like this, in braille-embossing portion 150, because decide the braille-embossing direction, so even mint-mark assembly 80 is fixed in the configuration of bandwidth direction, the user also can set the layout of oneself liking according to the layout of setting.And, because detect the direction of insertion of handling band T according to being printed on the front and back identification D that handles on the band T, and determine that thus braille-embossing is carry out/not carry out, so even the direction of insertion of the confused processing band of user T, can not carry out wrong braille-embossing yet, can not waste yet and handle band T.
And, because front and back identifying information D is printed near the front end of the throughput direction of handling band T, so, detect the band front end after, carry by the band of specific length to determine the front and back of handling band rapidly.In addition, near the width end, enclose sign, also do not influence the visuognosis of the black digital data of printing.Moreover, because before and after can judging according to front and back identifying information D, so the user can will handle band T from correct direction according to the layout of oneself setting and insert.And, by front and back identifying information D, before and after when the label that stickup is made, also can not getting wrong (up and down).Also have, front and back identifying information D also can be printed near the rear end of handling band T and be the upper side of width.
In addition, above to detected bandwidth be 24mm (handle band T1) (with reference to the S11 of Fig. 7), situation when tupe is set to first tupe (with reference to the S13 of Fig. 7) is illustrated.But, too, be set under the situation that basic layout (b-1) and band direction of insertion spin upside down when bandwidth is 18mm (handle band T2) at braille-embossing scope Eb; And be set at basic at braille-embossing scope Eb and arrange opposite layout (b-2) and handle under the situation that band T upper and lower correctly inserts, mint-mark be under an embargo (with reference to Fig. 9 B).In addition, when bandwidth was 12mm (handle band T2), braille-embossing scope Eb must be basic layout, so, when the band direction of insertion spins upside down, mint-mark be under an embargo (with reference to Fig. 9 C).In addition, when tupe was set to the 3rd tupe (braille-embossing), mint-mark control also was same.
In addition, showing on the display 4 when the mint-mark band inserts the indication of mouthful 31 insertion bands (with reference to the S31 of Figure 10), also can show the direction of insertion of handling band T.Just, when being set at basic layout, show " please inserting ", when being set at the layout opposite, show " please inserting " from the rear end side of band with basic layout from the front of band.Like this, the user need not consider to arrange, only needs just can confirm to handle the direction of insertion of being with T according to displaying contents, has avoided losing time because of the insertion mistake of handling band T.
Below, with reference to Figure 12 other examples of the front and back identifying information D that prints by black word printing portion 120 are described.That is, identifying information D in front and back is not limited to the point " ● " of the leading section lower left shown in Figure 12 A, also can be other forms.
For example, in Figure 12 B, be to print a point " ● " in the leading section lower left, and print two points arranged side by side " ● ● " near the rearward end upper right side.Like this, by printing different signs with the rearward end upper right side, after detecting the band front end, just can differentiate the front and back of the throughput direction of handling band T by detecting any one sign in the leading section lower left of handling band T.Just, after detecting the band front end, the band that does not need to wait for the specific length of having considered error is carried, and can more promptly differentiate the front and back of handling band T.
Shown in Figure 12 C, when the processing band T10 that uses is pre-formed short rectangle, and (that is: label creating apparatus 1 is not stamping ink word P on the processing band T that sends successively from tape drum C when having been formed waste part Ta by the record paper T1 near the leading section of handling the throughput direction of being with T or close rearward end by the broad ways semi-shear, but manually insert the processing band that is pre-formed short rectangle and has carried out semi-shear, carrying out black word P thus prints), can be before and after printing on its waste part Ta identifying information D (being near " preceding " Word message that is attached to the band front end at this moment).According to this formation, because on the waste part Ta that is provided with in order to peel off band T2 easily usually, print front and back identifying information D, so, can not damage the information recording part Tb that is used for black word printing.And, by conduct front and back identifying information D printing character information, can more identify the front and back of source reason band T with being easily understood.In addition, when on cut-out portion 140 (with reference to Fig. 6) can the band T at strip, carrying out semi-shear, also can be before and after being undertaken by processing band T printing on the waste part Ta that semi-shear forms to strip identifying information D.In addition, semi-shear can not carried out in cut-out portion 140, can be carrying out at (perhaps in the mint-mark braille) before or after the braille-embossing in the braille-embossing portion 150, can also comprise the device that semi-shear is used independently yet.
In addition, can be not according to distinguishing mark D before and after printing by printing portion 120 like that shown in the example of Figure 12 A, 12B and 12C, also can use the processing band T20 shown in Figure 12 D, near the leading section of handling band T, put on the line parallel in advance, can identify the front end of handling band T according to this line with the bandwidth direction.According to this formation, can omit the print processing of printing front and back distinguishing mark D by printing portion 120.In addition, can put on line like that, also can in advance specific sign be attached near the leading section of handling band T or near the rearward end not according to illustrated processing band T20.
In addition, shown in Figure 12 E, also can use and handle band T30, on the back side (peeling paper) of handling band T, write down the information that is used to discern the front and back (band direction of insertion) of handling band T in advance.According to this formation, both specifically and clearly indicated the front and back of handling band T, simultaneously, can not influence the surface again.
In addition, shown in Figure 12 F,, before and after also can replacing marking (band direction of insertion), but print the sign that is used to represent to handle the upper and lower of being with the T width as front and back identifying information D.That is, as shown in the figure, represent the top by the arrow that makes progress.The label creating apparatus 1 of present embodiment is to insert from the right side of device to handle band T (with reference to Fig. 1), so, by in the front that will handle band T as the outside and make under the direction of arrow state up and insert, just can not get wrong and handle the front and back of being with T, correctly insert.And, because the direction of this arrow is consistent at the upper and lower of handling the braille B on the band T with mint-mark, so, even, also can not get the upper and lower of handling band T wrong, can correctly paste only through the processing band T of braille-embossing processing.And at this moment, preferably the position according to the sign on the bandwidth direction is provided with front and back identification sensor 92.In addition, be not limited to arrow, also can indicate the upper and lower of handling band T near bottom the band front end or upper end print point " ● ".
In addition, front and back identifying information D is not limited to any in the illustration of described Figure 12 A～Figure 12 F, a plurality of selections of storage branch in memory (ROM 220 etc.) in advance, and the user selects the front and back identifying information D that likes in the middle of these.In addition, the user can use keyboard 3 to set form, configuration and the quantity of front and back identifying information D.But, during the configuration of identifying information D, a plurality of front and back identification sensor 92 need be set, identification sensor 92 before and after perhaps can moving before and after can set along the bandwidth direction in the bandwidth direction.
As mentioned above, control method and tape processing unit according to tape handling treating apparatus of the present invention, the mint-mark direction of some digital data can be switched according to the position of the braille-embossing scope Eb that sets, so, need be on the width of band walking path 70 mobile mint-mark assembly 80, the user can be provided with handling the braille-embossing scope Eb that be with on the T width according to own hobby.
And, be printed on the front and back identifying information D of the front and back that are used to discern its throughput direction on the processing band T after black word is printed, so, when the user manually will handle band T and insert braille-embossing portion 150, can not get the just insertion of front and back of handling band T wrong.And, even black word printed contents can't be differentiated upper and lower (front and back) (for example, arrow mark or digital zero etc.), but because be printed on the front and back identifying information, so does not just paste (front and back) about can not getting wrong yet.And, when the braille-embossing scope Eb that sets basic arranges and handle band T when rear end side is transferred, perhaps arrange opposite scope and handle and be with T when front is transferred when the braille-embossing scope Eb that sets is positioned at basic, because under the state that will put 180 ° of digital data upsets, carry out mint-mark, so, sent into mistakenly by front and back even handle band T, also can in the braille-embossing scope Eb that sets, carry out normal braille-embossing.
In addition, in the described in front example, each parts of braille-embossing portion 150 are (with reference to the Fig. 5) that insert the order setting of mouth 31, mint-mark assembly 80, band conveying mechanism 60, front-end detection sensor 91, front and back identification sensor 92 by the mint-mark band, but also can be according to as shown in Figure 13, front and back identification sensor 92 is located at the upstream side (92a) of mint-mark assembly 80, perhaps is located between mint-mark assembly 80 and the band conveying mechanism 60b (92b).But, at this moment, band conveying mechanism 60a need be set at the upstream side of front and back identification sensor 92a, 92b.This is because still can not carry out correct detection (front and back identification) during no show band conveying mechanism 60a at the band front end.Like this, by front and back identification sensor 92 is arranged on more upstream side, band conveying mechanism 60a is set again, can sets the blank of being with front end (shown in the example of Fig. 5, front end space length needn't necessarily greater than the length L 2 between mint-mark assembly 80 and the conveying roller 61) thus shortly.
In addition, also can take to omit the structure of the front-end detection sensor 91 that is used to detect the front end of handling band T.But, at this moment, when inserting, the user handles band T after the band front end arrives band conveying mechanism 60a or 60b, by being with conveying by conveying beginning key, and identifying information D about detecting, preferably the detection position with identifying information D about this is a benchmark, begins key by the user by mint-mark and carries out braille-embossing and and its band conveying simultaneously.In addition, after mint-mark finishes, also can not the band conveying of carrying out specific length according to a digital data, but in during the user continues by conveying beginning key, continuation rotating band conveying mechanism 60a, and discharge to handle and be with T.According to these structures, can omit front-end detection sensor 91, apparatus structure (control structure) is oversimplified more.
In addition, device case 2 for the housing that constitutes label creating apparatus 1, it comprises the front shell 2a of print processing portion 120 and comprises that the rear portion housing 2b of mint-mark handling part 150 is integrally formed (with reference to Fig. 1), but, also these can be formed independent device, connect by connector (connector).According to such structure, only need the people of braille-embossing selectively to add the device that is equivalent to rear portion housing 2b, simultaneously, the device that is equivalent to rear portion housing 2b can be changed to other form, so, can improve the versatility of the device (black word printing equipment) that is equivalent to front shell 2a.
In addition, mint-mark assembly 80 be can one group of left and right sides braille of mint-mark size, and three mint-mark pins 41 are set corresponding to one group size (three mint-mark points 201 longitudinally).But mint-mark assembly 80 also can be the size of the multirow of mint-mark simultaneously braille B.Just, the mint-mark assembly of the two row brailles of mint-mark simultaneously needs six mint-mark pins longitudinally.According to this structure, braille-embossing scope Eb can also have more kinds of layouts.In this case, for example when using the mint-mark assembly of the two row brailles of mint-mark simultaneously, preferably the mint-mark pin is divided into two groups by three every group and switches driving/non-driving.That is, preferably the mint-mark pin being divided into n for the mint-mark assembly of the capable braille of mint-mark n simultaneously organizes and switches driving/non-driving.According to this structure, even width also can use less than the processing band T of mint-mark element width.
In addition, the setting (with reference to the S14 of Fig. 7) of the layout of black word print range Ep and braille-embossing scope Eb also can not be to select to carry out after (with reference to the S13 of Fig. 7) at tupe, but by carrying out in advance by the arrangement sets key.At this moment, preferably every kind of bandwidth is respectively equipped with a layout, determines once to arrange according to the detection (with reference to the S11 of Fig. 7) of bandwidth.According to this formation, can omit whenever carry out once black word print with and/or braille-embossing will set the trouble of layout.
In addition, the setting of arranging is not limited to example shown in Figure 9, can increase diversified layout as selecting branch, for example can be set at black word print range Ep and braille-embossing scope Eb in that some is overlapping on the bandwidth direction, and black word print range Ep and the braille-embossing scope Eb part etc. that leaves some space on the border of bandwidth direction.But, even in this case, braille-embossing scope Eb is not set near the end of the bandwidth direction of handling band T the scope (upper end or bottom), but according to the setting of this setting range and mint-mark assembly 80, the mint-mark of carrying out is as shown in figure 10 controlled.
In addition, the present invention also provides a kind of program that can carry out the each several part (each function) of the label creating apparatus 1 described in the previous examples.And, a kind of storage medium (diagram is omitted) of storing this program also is provided.As storage medium, can utilize CD-ROM, flash rom, storage card (mini-flash device (registration mark), dexterous medium, storage composing stick etc.), compact disk (CD), CD, digital versatile disc (DVD) and floppy disk etc.
In addition, be not limited to embodiment recited above, about the apparatus structure of label creating apparatus 1 and treatment process etc. without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can do suitable change.And, except that label creating apparatus 1,, all be applicable to the present invention so long as can carry out the device of braille-embossing.
Below, the label producing method that second embodiment is related to describes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.The content part of itself and first embodiment repeats.
Shown in Figure 14 A, when selecting (setting) " only black word " (D22), on display 4, will demonstrate black digital data input picture 31 (D23), can import the black digital data that is used to make black word print data this moment.The input of China ink digital data can be undertaken by general word processor.Behind the end of input of China ink digital data (input data), press printing key, control part 200 is just produced label data (the forward print data: general print data) that comprises black word print data.And as shown in Figure 14B, according to the label data of making, China ink word printing portion 120 drives, front from the reading direction (reading from top to bottom) of label, handling the black word printing of formation (forming forward prints) on the band T successively along reading direction, simultaneously, after black word is printed, cut off processing band T by cut-out portion 140, make the only label of stamping ink word.And " only black word " when label creating apparatus 1 starts etc., just shows black digital data input picture 31 (D21) when being set to the abstention value of tupe
As shown in figure 15, when (in D32) selects (setting) " only braille ", just show braille input picture data 312 (D33) on display 4, can import the some digital data that is used to make the braille-embossing data this moment.
In the present embodiment, mint-mark assembly 80 can be made and be used to carry out the forward mint-mark data of forward mint-mark and these the two kinds of braille-embossing data of reverse mint-mark data that are used to carry out reverse mint-mark, the forward mint-mark is that the front from the braille reading direction begins along reading direction (forward) mint-mark braille, and reverse mint-mark is that forward mint-mark data have been overturn 180 °.Thus, when mint-mark assembly 80 and bandwidth direction wherein a side is relative the time, can on the processing band T of wide 18mm and wide 24mm, set two kinds of brailles and arrange (the mint-mark position on the bandwidth direction), can make braille and be located at two kinds of labels that top and braille are located at the bottom.
And, in a digital data, also comprise the placement information of handling on the band T width, from arranging, two kinds of brailles select a kind of the setting.Particularly, the key operation that puts rules into practice in the procedure for displaying of braille input picture 312 so demonstrate braille arrangement sets picture 313 (D34), is set braille here and is arranged.As shown in figure 15, in braille arrangement sets picture 313, can select to be inserted into width and the braille of the processing band T of braille-embossing portion 150 and arrange.
Handling the width of band T can select from the selection branch of 12mm, 18mm, 24mm.But, because the bandwidth that described band identification sensor 171 detects is preestablished as abstention, so, when having only the situation of not using the processing band T that in black word printing portion 120, installs etc., just select it.Braille is arranged by " the braille lower disposed " selecting to be used for that braille is configured in label top (upside) " braille top layout " or be used for braille is configured in label bottom (downside) and is set.At the various striographs of selecting all to show in the branch its corresponding layout, the user can select the layout of braille with reference to them.But, when selecting the wide processing band T of 12mm (selecting branch to appear dimmed), can not select the layout of braille.
Behind some digital data (input data) end of input, will handle band T and manually insert mint-mark band insertion mouth 31, by the mint-mark key, so control part 200 is made braille-embossing data (label data).And, according to the braille-embossing data of making, handle band T by 150 pairs in braille-embossing portion and carry out the braille-embossing processing, make the label that only expression has braille.
The control flow of this moment as shown in figure 16.As shown in the drawing, in case press mint-mark key (S51), at first confirm to handle the width setting of band T.At this moment, when the width of the processing band T that sets is 12mm (S52:Yes),, form the braille-embossing data, make forward mint-mark data (S53) according to the some digital data of input.On the other hand, when the width of the processing band T that sets is 18mm and 24mm (S52:No), further confirm the layout of braille.And, when being set at " braille lower disposed " (S56:Yes) time, form the braille-embossing data, make forward mint-mark data (S53); When being set at " braille top layout " (S56:No), form the braille-embossing data, make reverse mint-mark data (S57).
Just, (label) braille of the data based setting of braille-embossing is arranged and is made, when the wherein position of a side of handling the relative width of band T and mint-mark assembly 80, when being arranged in the position consistency of tag width direction with braille, making forward mint-mark data; Make reverse mint-mark data when inconsistent.For convenience of explanation, with the band walking path 70 illustrated near observer's side as time, will illustrate upper side as on describe in detail.In the braille-embossing portion 150 of present embodiment, handle downside and the mint-mark assembly 80 of band T and face.And when being " braille lower disposed ", (width) placement position that the braille on the label is arranged is a D score, and this and the mint-mark assembly 80 relative position consistency of handling the bandwidth direction of band T are so make forward mint-mark data.In contrast, when being " braille top layout ", (width) placement position of the braille on the label be " on ", this is relative with mint-mark assembly 80 handle band T the position of width inconsistent, so make reverse mint-mark data.
As the braille-embossing data, when making forward mint-mark data or reverse mint-mark data, control part 200 drives braille-embossing portion 150 in view of the above, carries out braille-embossing (S54) on processing band T.Shown in Figure 17 A, for example make when being expressed as the label of " せ ん Ga く じ " of braille, when making forward mint-mark data, carry out the forward mint-mark, begin from the front of label that (せ → ん → Ga → く → じ) is the mint-mark braille successively along reading direction.On the other hand, shown in Figure 17 B, when making reverse mint-mark data, carry out reverse mint-mark, the point-symmetric braille of mint-mark and forward mint-mark begins from the tail end-side of label that (じ → く → Ga → ん → せ) is the turn upside down braille of (overturning 180 °) of mint-mark successively along the opposite direction of reading.
After the braille-embossing on the processing band T was finished, control part 200 was by the processing band T of braille-embossing portion 150 conveying ormal weights, and the processing band T (label) that handles discharges (S55) from mint-mark band outlet 32.In addition, in (according to reverse mint-mark data) when carrying out reverse mint-mark, because (according to reverse mint-mark data) from the tail end-side of reading direction, are handled with forward mint-mark point symmetry ground, so the label of discharge will overturn 180 ° in use.
As shown in figure 18, in case (in D42) selects " black word braille writes down simultaneously ", then demonstrate D43, can from black word and braille represent identical content " being translated into a word pattern ", and import " input pattern respectively " of black word and braille content optional one respectively.When selecting " being translated into a word pattern ", just demonstrate black digital data input picture 311, can make a digital data according to the black digital data (text data) of input in black word input picture 311.On the other hand, when selecting " input pattern respectively ", demonstrate black digital data input picture 311 (D44), but by the operating provision key, China ink digital data input picture 311 can switch successively with the braille input picture data 312 (D45) that is used for the input point digital data, can import black digital data and some digital data thus.
In addition, as shown in figure 19, in the tupe that black word braille writes down simultaneously, be provided with the arrangement sets menu of the layout that is used to set black word and braille, can from black word and braille side by side " black word braille writes down simultaneously " of configuration and black word and braille stacked " the overlapping record of black word braille " and choose any one kind of them.When selecting " black word braille writes down simultaneously ", then also demonstrate and select branch, can select " (on) black word: (descending) braille " or " (on) braille: (descending) black word "." (on) black word: (descending) braille " be that black word (black word print range) is set on top (first half) at label, and (Lower Half) sets braille (braille-embossing scope) in the bottom; " (on) braille: (descending) black word " be top (first half) setting braille (braille-embossing scope) at label, and (Lower Half) sets black word (black word print range) in the bottom.On the other hand, be under the situation of 18mm or 24mm at detected processing band T width, when selecting " the overlapping record of black word braille ", braille is arranged and can similarly be set when braille is arranged with setting in the tupe of described " only braille ".
After the input of input data, press printing key by the user, so, at first according to input data creating label data.Figure 20 is the control flow chart that label data is made.As shown in the drawing, when pressing printing key (S61), at first confirm to handle the width setting of band T.At this moment, when band identification sensor 171 detects (S62:Yes) when handling band T width and being 12mm, according to the black digital data of input, be used for beginning to carry out the forward print data (S63) that black word is printed along reading direction from the front of (label) reading direction as black word print data making.And, after the forward print data is made, then, as braille-embossing data creating forward mint-mark data.
When detected processing band T width is 18mm or 24mm (S65:No), further confirm the layout of braille.And, when the layout of braille is set at the bottom of label (S65:Yes), promptly in " black word braille writes down simultaneously " of arrangement sets menu, select " (on) black word: (descending) braille " time, or when in " the overlapping record of black word braille ", selecting " braille lower disposed ", same when being 12mm with bandwidth, after making the forward print data, make forward mint-mark data (S64).On the other hand, when the layout of braille is set at the top of label (S65:No), promptly in " black word braille writes down simultaneously " of arrangement sets menu, select " (on) braille: (descending) black word " time, when perhaps in " the overlapping record of black word braille ", selecting " braille top layout ", begin to carry out reverse print data (with the data of 180 ° of forward print data upsets) the making back (S66) that black word is printed symmetrically at tail end-side, make reverse mint-mark data (S67) along the reverse of reading direction and with the forward print point from (label) reading direction.
Like this, be not the braille-embossing data, black word print data is also arranged according to (label) braille of setting and is made and make.Same during the tupe of braille-embossing data and described " only braille ", according to whether setting with the position consistency that the braille of tag width direction is arranged in the face of the position of the wherein side of the width of the processing band T of mint-mark assembly 80.At this moment, the processing direction that the forward mint-mark is handled and reverse mint-mark is handled label is opposite, thus handle band T to the manual direction of insertion of braille-embossing portion 150 when carrying out the forward mint-mark and when carrying out reverse mint-mark for reverse mutually.
And, in the present embodiment, be to make the forward print data when making forward mint-mark data, when making reverse mint-mark data, be to make reverse print data.Thus, as shown in figure 21, the processing direction of the processing band T when the processing direction of the processing band T during black word print processing is handled with braille-embossing is identical.Therefore, the leading section of the processing band T (ribbon matrix) that discharges from the type belt outlet 22 of black word printing portion 120 becomes mint-mark band to braille-embossing portion 150 and inserts mouthfuls 31 leading sections (fore head) when manually inserting, so, in braille-embossing portion 150 during set handling band T, as long as the mint-mark band that the processing band T (ribbon matrix) that the user will discharge from type belt outlet 22 manually be inserted into braille-embossing portion 150 according to original discharge direction inserts mouthfuls 31.
In addition, in the present embodiment, in order the user more clearly to be confirmed handle the manual direction of insertion of band T to braille-embossing portion 150, can with in black word printing portion 120 pairs handle band T and print the flag information G that are used to represent manual direction of insertion.Particularly, when selecting the tupe of " black word braille writes down simultaneously ", be provided with and be used to set the sign print setting menu that whether indicates printing.At this, when being set at when printing sign, control part 200 (flag information producing device) is preceding at braille-embossing data creating (S64 or S67), makes the flag information data that are used for printing flag information G in black word printing portion 120 earlier.
The sign print processing is carried out earlier before black word print processing, and sign is printed on the leading section of handling the walking path of band T in black word printing portion 120 and carries out.Just, leading section in the manual direction of insertion of handling the relative braille-embossing of band T portion 150 is printed flag information G, as shown in figure 22, the leading section at label when carrying out the forward printing is printed flag information G, and the tail end at label when carrying out reverse the printing is printed flag information G.
In addition, in the present embodiment, with the flag information data simultaneously, also make the waste part Ta that is used for the printing portion of flag information G and carry out the semi-shear data (as label data) that semi-shear is handled.In order on the processing band T that finishes in print processing waste part Ta and information recording part Tb to be separated, (at the assigned position of record paper T1) implemented semi-shear and handled.Handle by this semi-shear, the record paper T1 that forms information recording part Tb can strip down from peeling off band T2 at an easy rate, and waste part Ta goes out of use simultaneously, thereby label can form beautiful outward appearance.In addition, preferably be provided with sign print setting menu etc., the user can set whether print sign according to hobby like this.
As mentioned above, this label creating apparatus 1 its structure is fit to the present invention, so even use fixing mint-mark assembly 80, also can select two kinds of different brailles to arrange with respect to the bandwidth direction, and can suitably select braille to arrange according to the application target of label.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to described embodiment, in not breaking away from aim scope of the present invention, can carry out suitable change.For example, mint-mark assembly 80 take with handle band T " on " under the situation of the relative structure of side, when being " braille top layouts ", making forward mint-mark data when being " braille lower disposed ", are made reverse mint-mark data.
In addition, in the present embodiment, be to be applicable to that one-sided being close in the label creating apparatus 1 that fixing mint-mark assembly 80 carries of handling band T example of the present invention describes.But mint-mark assembly 80 also can adopt the structure that can relatively move along the width of band walking path 70.
For example, setting makes mint-mark assembly 80 along combination travel mechanism that the bandwidth direction moves (diagram is omitted), with respect to the processing band T that on band walking path 70, carries, mint-mark assembly 80 is moved on the bandwidth direction, by the present invention being applicable to such label creating apparatus, a kind of compactness can being provided and can handling the label creating apparatus that carry out braille-embossing on the whole width of being with T.Just, arrange according to the braille of setting, by making forward mint-mark data or reverse mint-mark data, make mint-mark assembly 80 wherein the moving on half part of the width of handling band T, can on the whole width of handling band T, carry out braille-embossing thus.
But, in this case, when the braille on the tag width direction arranges that (the mint-mark position of braille on the bandwidth direction) is when being close to the homonymy of mint-mark assembly 80 relative sides, just handle band T with half part mint-mark assembly 80 opposite sides on when comprising that braille is arranged, make forward mint-mark data; And when being close to, when just on half part of a side of not facing with mint-mark assembly 80, comprising that braille is arranged, make reverse mint-mark data with the tossing about of mint-mark assembly 80 opposite sides.Equally, handle band T and on the label creating apparatus of the manual insertion position on the bandwidth direction (the mint-mark band inserts mouthful 31 grades and can move), also can be suitable for the present invention can setting arbitrarily with respect to fixing mint-mark assembly 80.
