The printer 1 of present embodiment uses continuous stationery as recording paper, and it possesses the user finishes back hand off continuous stationery in printing continuous stationery cut-out portion 20.This continuous stationery cut-out portion 20 is installed in the paper outlet (not shown) of printer, is the sheet material (tear off bar) of the cut-out usefulness of extending at the width of continuous stationery.Moreover it constitutes also can be to replace the sheet material of this cut-out usefulness and the cutter that is made of electric motor driven cutting knife is installed, with automatic cut-out continuous stationery.Under this situation, the firmware that drives cutting knife based on the cutting knife control instruction is stored in program 100, and by carrying out the cutting knife control instruction of being sent by terminal 30, the motor that 2 pairs of cutter driving of control part are used is controlled, to cut off continuous stationery.The cutting knife control instruction also can be included in the printing operation instruction Pcm.
In addition, the formation of the printer 1 of present embodiment is, be not only to be confined to be equipped on the printing operation instruction Pcm that printed driver 31 terminal 30, this printer 1 usefulness generates, even the printing operation instruction that the printed driver that other different printer of model is used produces also can be handled without a doubt, other printers different to model carry out emulation.With reference to Fig. 2 its formation is described.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram that the function of the control part 2 of expression printer 1 constitutes.Each function shown in this figure is by the program 100 that utilization is stored in flash memory 5 control part 2 actions to be realized.As shown in the drawing, control part 2 possesses emulation judging part 101, command simulation portion 102, print engine 103, the action determining device 104 of tearing.
For example, in printer 1, the instruction of specifying literal to amplify is＜ESC 123 〉, and in other printer, the instruction of specifying literal to amplify is＜ESC 789 situation describe.Printer 1 in a single day receive from terminal 30 send＜ESC 789, then emulation judging part 101 is just used this＜ESC 789〉compare with the various instructions of printer 1 usefulness, if do not meet, then conclude＜ESC 789 be not the instruction of printer 1 usefulness, so general＜ESC 789 just〉output to command simulation portion 102.In command simulation portion 102, with reference to translation data 110 discovery＜ESC 789〉with printer 1＜ESC 123 corresponding, just with the 111 general＜ESC 789 of code conversion portion〉convert to＜ESC 123, output to print engine 103 again.Print engine 103 is handled, will be based on＜ESC 123〉literal that prints amplifies.
As another example, be＜ESCABC to the cutting knife instruction that in printer 1, makes cutting knife action 〉, and make the cutting knife instruction of cutting knife action be＜ESC XYZ at other printer situation describe.Printer 1 in a single day receive from terminal 30 send＜ESC XYZ, then emulation judging part 101 is just with being somebody's turn to do＜ESC XYZ〉make comparisons with the various instructions of printer 1 usefulness, if do not meet, then conclude＜ESC XYZ be not the instruction of printer 1 usefulness, so general＜ESCXYZ just〉output to command simulation portion 102.In command simulation portion 102, with reference to translation data 110 discovery＜ESC XYZ〉with printer 1＜ESC ABC corresponding, just with the 111 general＜ESC XYZ of code conversion portion〉convert to＜ESC ABC, output to print engine 103 again.Print engine 103 contains cutting knife control part 116, based on＜ESC ABC〉make continuous stationery cut-out portion 20 carry out the cutting knife operation, cut off continuous stationery.
Printing paper transmits control part 113, transmit motor 14B, transmit continuous stationery to electromotor control circuit 19 output control signal control printing papers, in when beginning control printing and the printing process, the transmission of the continuous stationery of control printing after finishing, it also possesses the control part 114 of tearing of the action of tearing after being used to control printing and finishing.
The action determination section 104 of tearing is specified the pattern of the control part 114 of tearing.The printer 1 of present embodiment has the pattern of 2 patterns as the action of tearing is arranged.Particularly, in first pattern, after finishing, the printing of regulation carries out the paper feeding of skipping, afterwards, make continuous stationery advance to the off-position of continuous stationery cut-out portion 20, then, continuous stationery is retreated to the beginning position of following one page with the form that overlaps next printing starting position.In second pattern, after the printing of regulation finishes, make continuous stationery advance to the off-position of continuous stationery cut-out portion 20, afterwards, continuous stationery is retreated to the printing end position of regulation in the mode that overlaps next printing starting position.Some by in these two patterns of action determination section 104 decision of tearing.The length that each page got is set by the instruction of regulation, and is stored in the flash memory 2.Because the control signal of control part 2 by regulation drives printing paper and transmits motor 14B to transmit (advance or retreat) continuous stationery, so can make the conveying capacity of control part 2 grasp continuous stationeries.In addition, control part 2 is stored in every page in the flash memory 2 length of getting by reading, with reference to the conveying capacity of the continuous stationery of being grasped, the position that just can learn present continuous stationery.That is, also can learn the position of the pinprick line relative with printing position or off-position.
The action determination section 104 of tearing has the dual-in-line switch 115 that is used to set pattern, the decision pattern of control part 114 of tearing according to the set condition of this dual-in-line switch 115.And be not to be defined in the formation of using dual-in-line switch 115 to the setting of the pattern of the control part 114 of tearing, for example, its formation also can be to use the executive component that is installed on operating portion 8.For example, operating portion 8 is used by the appointment of first pattern and second pattern specifies a plurality of buttons of usefulness to form, and also can determine that control part 2 detects with pushing certain button.Perhaps, also can determine that control part 2 detects with the number of times of the button of pushing appointment.For example, also can determine, take first pattern when pushing one time, take second pattern when pushing secondary.In addition, also the pattern of decision can be stored into flash memory 5, so that control part 2 is from reading here.
Secondly, the action of the printer 1 of present embodiment is described.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the printing treatment of printer 1.As shown in Figure 3, in a single day control part 2 receives printing operation instruction Pcm, just counter N is initialized as " 0 ", and counter M is initialized as " 3000 " (step Sa1).These counters N, M are described.Counter N is the counter of counting usefulness, and counter M is with the counter of value reset as the regulation of judgement time.In the time of will be through the judgement time (time-out time), the situation of carrying out printing based on the printing operation instruction Pcm that receives be called " overtime printing ".The execution of overtime printing is to utilize counter N to instruct the reception end of Pcm to instruct the elapsed time of Pcm to count to receiving next printing operation afterwards to printing operation, makes comparisons with counter M again, and execution judgement time-out time.That is, counter N for example whenever adds " 1 " through 1 millisecond after the initialization of count value, when count value reaches the value " 3000 " of counter M, begin the processing of overtime printing when promptly having passed through time-out time " 3 seconds ".
At first, control part 2 promptly receives in the buffer memory at the memory of distributing to RAM4, to whether have should printing treatment printing operation instruction Pcm judge (step Sa2).Then, when printing operation instruction Pcm is arranged in receiving buffer storage (step Sa2:YES), (step Sa3) analyzed in 2 pairs of various instructions of control part, according to its analysis result control printing equipment 12, and print the printed data that receives, carry out printing paper and transmit (paper feeding) (step Sa4).Then, wait for the reception of next printing operation instruction Pcm, thus handling procedure is turned back to step Sa1.
On the other hand, the judged result of above-mentioned steps Sa2 is, when in receiving buffer memory, not having printing operation instruction Pcm (step Sa2:NO), promptly, printing based on printing operation instruction Pcm finishes, under the situation of the reception wait state of next printing operation instruction Pcm, control part 2 every processes " 1 millisecond " make counter N " 1 " (the step Sa5) that add up, and whether the count value of counter N is judged (step Sa6) greater than the count value of counter M.
Be under the situation below the count value of counter M (step Sa6:NO) in the count value of counter N, owing to do not pass through time-out time, so control part 2 turns back to step Sa1 with handling procedure and continues to wait for the reception of next printing operation instruction Pcm.
On the other hand, under the situation of count value greater than the value of counter M of counter N (step Sa6:NO), become the situation of the time-out time that has surpassed regulation, control part 2 will make overtime printing operation to carry out next the processing.Promptly, whether 2 pairs of requirements that transmit (paper feeding) based on printing and the printing paper of printing operation instruction Pcm of control part also are retained in printer 1 interior (for example buffer memory of RAM4) is judged (step Sa7), if situation about keeping (step Sa7:YES), then carry out printing and printing paper and transmit (paper feeding) (step Sa8), then carry out the action (step Sa9) of tearing, then, handling procedure is turned back to step Sa1 and wait for the reception of printing operation instruction Pcm.Be not retained under situation printer 1 in (step Sa7:NO) in the requirement that printing and printing paper transmit (paper feeding), carry out the action (step Sa9) of tearing, handling procedure is turned back to step Sa1 and wait for that printing operation instructs the reception of Pcm.
The action of tearing of above-mentioned steps Sa9 is described with reference to Fig. 4.
Fig. 4 tears to control the flow chart of handling.
The utilization action determination section 104 of tearing decides some in first pattern or second pattern.As shown in the figure, control part 2 judges that according to the decision of the action determination section 104 of tearing first pattern still is second pattern (step Sb1).This result of determination is, under the situation of paper feeding is skipped in execution (step Sb1:NO), promptly under the situation of having specified first pattern, control part 2 is before paper feeding is skipped in execution, judge TOF (top of from: whether be " 0 " mm position the page or leaf beginning), promptly whether present printing position be positioned at the beginning of one page down and judge (step Sb2).And, when being positioned at the side of direction of transfer of continuous stationery in the printing position, the position is made as "+" mm with respect to the down beginning of one page, in the local time being positioned at other, the position is made as "-" mm.
The result of determination of this TOF is, at TOF (step Sb2:YES) under the situation of " 0 " mm position, the paper feeding owing to needn't skip, so intactly carry out tear (step Sb3), in addition, not (step Sb2:NO) under the situation of " 0 " mm position at TOF, 2 pairs of control parts be used to the to skip paper feeding amount of paper feeding calculates (step Sb4), be under the situation of "+E " mm position for example at TOF, this paper feeding amount is by will starting (" 0 " mm position) distance in printing position ("+E " mm position) up till now from page or leaf, deducts in the middle of the page length " L " and calculates.Page length value " L " is stored in the flash memory 5, and control part 2 can be distinguished.In addition, control part 2 is not only known the conveying capacity of continuous stationery, also knows the position of present continuous stationery.
Then, the paper feeding amounts that 2 of control parts are tried to achieve by calculating transmit continuous stationeries, afterwards, then carry out the paper feeding (step Sb5) of skipping, carry out these paper feedings after, handling procedure is advanced to step Sb3 carries out and tear end process.Thus, so that being positioned at the mode of the position of continuous stationery cut-out portion 20, the boundary line of printing sign-off sheet and following one page transmits continuous stationery.And, under the situation of the fan-fold paper that the pinprick line is arranged, can cut off continuous stationery along the pinprick line.Herein, be the situation of cutting knife for continuous stationery cut-out portion 20, also can cutter be moved and cut off by the cutting knife operational order.For the situation of roll web, owing to the user is difficult to cut off with cutting knife, so use cutter just easily.
On the other hand, the result of determination of above-mentioned steps Sb1 is, under the situation of the paper feeding of not skipping (step Sb1:YES), promptly, designated under the situation of second pattern, control part 2 makes the balladeur train that carried record head 13 move to the starting point of regulation that (CR: carriage return) (step Sb6) is advanced to step Sb3 with handling procedure, and carries out the release of tearing and handle.Thus, transmit continuous stationery, can cut off continuous stationery along this boundary line so that the boundary line between the printing of front and the following printing is positioned at the mode of the position of continuous stationery cut-out portion 20.In step Sb6, also can enter a new line to replace carriage return.And when entering a new line and skipping paper feeding, also can have carriage return.
By above-mentioned processing, can utilize the pattern execution of various appointments to tear, can cut off continuous stationery in the off-position of regulation.
In addition, having carried out the action of tearing after, when the continuity that form to transmit the state of continuous stationery, printing below beginning to carry out, promptly when having received next printing operation instruction Pcm, make continuous stationery retreat into the printing position.At this moment, in first pattern, continuous stationery retreats into the beginning position (" 0 " mm position) of page or leaf and begins next printing, and in second pattern, continuous stationery retreats into the printing end position of front and begins next printing.
Therefore, for example, even under the situation of printing on the continuous stationery that has attached the pinprick line, begin second pattern of printing from below by specifying in the back of tearing, also can and the printing of front between do not produce unnecessary blank ground, make printing from further part.In addition, by specifying first pattern that begins to print from one page down in the back of tearing, become possibility by the printing of page or leaf unit.Moreover, the roll web that does not attach the pinprick line can certainly be used as continuous stationery and use.
As described above, according to present embodiment, effect that is achieved as follows and effect.
Promptly, at present embodiment, judge some in first pattern and second pattern by the action determination section 114 of tearing, wherein, first pattern is, the mode of doing the beginning of one page down with the printing starting position after tearing is carried out the action of tearing after the paper feeding of having carried out skipping; First pattern is to make the mode partly that continues of the printing of regulation with the printing starting position after tearing and carry out the action of tearing after carriage return.Thus, the user is by specifying second pattern, just can and the printing of front between do not produce unnecessary blankly, make printing from further part.
In addition, according to present embodiment, in first pattern, it constitutes, when the printing that is through with to continuous stationery, skip after the paper feeding, action is sent to off-position with continuous stationery by tearing, therefore, attached in use under the situation of continuous stationery as continuous stationery of pinprick line, because the paper feeding of after printing continuous stationery being skipped is to the position of incidental pinprick line, afterwards, continuous stationery is sent to the position that is positioned at continuous stationery cut-out portion 20, therefore, can cut off along the pinprick line, and continuous cutting-off printing paper easily.
In addition, according to present embodiment, because it constitutes, printing operation instruction Pcm is being carried out under the situation of emulation, after the printing end based on this emulation, carrying out the action of tearing along with above-mentioned first or second pattern, so, irrelevant with the specification of other printer of institute emulation, and comprise these patterns, can control effectively.
In addition, according to present embodiment, owing to utilize dual-in-line switch 115 these executive components and the operating portion 8 also can the required movement pattern, so the user can be with the given settings of manually carrying out pattern simply.In addition, also can be by specifying from the instruction of terminal 30.
Moreover the above embodiments have just been represented a kind of embodiment of the present invention eventually, can be out of shape arbitrarily and use within the scope of the invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiments, though utilize dual-in-line switch 115 these executive components can the given settings pattern, but it is not limited thereto, its formation also can be according to the application program of terminal 30, to contain the instruction of specific printer driver 31 patterns among the printing operation instruction Pcm, and sending to printer 1, the control part 2 of printer 1 instructs the required movement pattern according to it.According to this formation, from terminal 30 when printer 1 sends printing operation instruction Pcm, can be in conjunction with application program required movement pattern simply.
Moreover, also can be according to the instruction of required movement pattern, pattern to be named is stored in flash memory 5, so that control part 2 all reads at every turn.In addition, as so-called storage converter section, also can with establish first pattern for " 0 ", establish second pattern and be stored in the memory of regulation, so that control part 2 reads for the setting of " 1 ".
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, printer 1 possesses command simulation portion 102, though it can handle the printing operation instruction Pcm that other different printer of model is used, but it is not limited thereto, under the situation of not accepting the printing operation instruction Pcm that other different printer of model uses, needn't be equipped with command simulation portion 102.
Again for example, in the above-described embodiment illustration the printer 1 that on continuous stationery, prints, but also can make the formation that can both print on the two at continuous stationery and sheet-fed.In this constitutes, only under the situation of printing on the continuous stationery, carry out and the corresponding action of tearing of above-mentioned pattern.Printer 1 also can be by dual-in-line switch 115 and operating portion 8 setting, from the instruction of terminal 30 etc., be the continuous stationery or the appointment of sheet-fed.
