Here, if there is the input of the operation based on switch 9a ~ 9d in pattern, then print control section 30 is carried out according to the process action based on the input of the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d.In addition, print control section 30 when running status is switched to pattern from battery saving mode, or is carried out according to the process action based on the input of the operation of the switch 9a ~ 9d detected when showing status information in display part 8 in a power-save mode.Further, if there is the input of the operation based on operating grip 11, then print control section 30 is carried out according to the process action based on the input of the operation of operating grip 11 under the state maintaining running status.In addition, if there is the supply of print data from external equipment, then print data is launched by print control section 30 under the state maintaining running status in printing buffer memory 35, and when print data comprises printing initiation command, after running status becomes pattern, carry out the printing action according to print data.
State, when running status is pattern, is shown in display part 8 by display control unit 37.In addition, if running status is switched to battery saving mode from pattern, then display control unit 37 by battery saving mode information displaying in display part 8.Further, when the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d being detected when battery saving mode, status information is shown in display part 8 to replace battery saving mode information by display control unit 37.In addition, display control unit 37 has timer 38, if the display of display part 8 is switched to status information from battery saving mode information in battery saving mode, then measure display as the elapsed time after status information, when exceeding the setting-up time T(that presets to the elapsed time with reference to Fig. 5) during when newly not detecting based on the operation of above-mentioned switch 9a ~ 9d input, make the display of display part 8 turn back to battery saving mode information from status information.
Operation conditions monitoring unit 31 monitors the action situation of the print control section 30 under pattern, when the state that print control section 30 does not perform any process action exceedes prespecified fiducial time, notify to running status control part 32 switching command running status being switched to battery saving mode from pattern.More particularly, operation conditions monitoring unit 31 possesses timer 39, if printer 1 becomes holding state, measures the elapsed time that holding state maintains, when this elapsed time exceedes fiducial time, sends switching command to running status control part 32.
Running status switches by running status control part 32 between pattern and battery saving mode.Here, so-called pattern points to print control section 30 to supply electric power, and supply the state of electric power to conveying motor 16.Under pattern, print control section 30 can carry out according to based on the input of the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d process action, drive conveying motor 16 or the printing action of printhead 17 according to print data.So-called battery saving mode refers to that conveying motor 16 is not supplied to the state of electric power.In a power-save mode, there is CPU33 be supplied to the situation of electric power and stop supplying to CPU33 the situation of electric power.In order to carry out the process action driving conveying motor 16, printhead 17, need to return to pattern from battery saving mode.
If receive the switching command from operation conditions monitoring unit 31 when pattern, then running status is switched to battery saving mode from pattern by running status control part 32.In addition, running status control part 32 is shared with print control section 30 and is inputted monitoring unit 36, and monitors the display of display control unit 37 to display 8.And, running status control part 32 in a power-save mode, when the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d being detected when display part 8 shows battery saving mode information, running status is maintained battery saving mode, in a power-save mode, when the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d being detected when display part 8 display status information, running status is switched to pattern from battery saving mode.
Further, running status in a power-save mode, when from external equipment supply print data, when detecting that print data comprises printing initiation command, is switched to pattern from battery saving mode by running status control part 32.In addition, print initiation command, such as, have the line replace command etc. of instruction newline.
(guidance panel)
Here, with reference to Fig. 4, the guidance panel 7 possessing display part 8 and switch 9a ~ 9d is specifically described.Fig. 4 is the top view of guidance panel 7.Guidance panel 7 possesses 5 LED8a ~ 8e as display part 8.Display control unit 37 by the lighting of each LED8a ~ 8e, glimmer, extinguishing etc., the display state of printer 1 and the running status of printer 1.As the status information of display in display part 8, there is status information with presence or absence of the status information of the status information of font, paper-tear picture, print media and be whether the status information of temporary transient halted state.
The status information of font represents in multiple fonts of installing on printer 1, which font is set as the font printed.The status information of font is by 1LED8a and 2LED8b display.The font be set by the flicker of the LED of any one party of the lighting of the LED of any one party of 1LED8a and 2LED8b, 1LED8a and 2LED8b, 1LED8a and 2LED8b light performance.The status information of paper-tear picture represents using every the continuous form of constant length formation dotted line trace is as print media, by the function making the dotted line trace of continuous form automatically aim at the clipped position of clipper 24 after printing is complete, whether dotted line trace moves to clipped position.The status information of paper-tear picture by the lighting of 3LED8c, extinguish expression.Status information with presence or absence of print media represents whether print media is set, and namely, represents whether medium sensor 25 detects print media.With presence or absence of print media, status information is lighted by 4LED8d, is extinguished expression.Be whether that the status information of temporary transient halted state represents whether the printing action of printer 1 temporarily stops.Be whether the status information of temporary transient halted state by the lighting of 5LED8e, extinguish expression.
In addition, when printer 1 is pattern, lights or glimmer at least 1 in the 1LED8a of display font and 2LED8b, the user therefore observing guidance panel 7 can confirm that printer 1 is for pattern.That is, the status information of font that display control unit 37 shows on the display 8 represents that the running status of printer 1 is pattern.On the other hand, if printer 1 becomes battery saving mode, then display control unit 37 shows on the display 8 and represents that running status is the battery saving mode information of battery saving mode.Battery saving mode information lights performance by means of only 5LED8e.The display mode (the 1st display mode) that the lighting of 5LED8e, 1st ~ the 4LED8a ~ 8d extinguish is the display mode different from the display mode that the display of status information uses (the 2nd display mode), and the user therefore observing guidance panel 7 can confirm that printer 1 is for battery saving mode.
Here, battery saving mode information lights display by 1 LED's, therefore for the power consumption that shows below the power consumption of the display for status information.That is, if the lighting of 1 LED, then can suppress the power consumption for showing, and also without the need to carrying out the light emitting control required when making LED glimmer, so the power consumption for controlling can also be suppressed.Therefore, it is possible to the power consumption under suppression battery saving mode.
Next, the 1st switch 9a of guidance panel 7 carries out the input of the order for selecting font.2nd switch 9b carries out the input for making print media order of paper feeding on the direction towards ejection port 10.3rd switch 9c carries out the input for making print media order of paper feeding on the direction away from ejection port 10.4th switch 9d carries out the input for the order making printing action temporarily stop.In addition, in the guidance panel 7 of this example, by pressing multiple switch 9a ~ 9d or grow by switch 9d simultaneously, the change order of input for changing the order inputted by the operation of each switch 9a ~ 9d, changes the order inputted by the operation of each switch 9a ~ 9d by the input of described change order.Therefore, by the combination of the operation of the 1st ~ 4th switch 9a ~ 9d, the input of order other than the above can be carried out.
(switching action of running status)
Next, with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, switching action running status switched between battery saving mode and pattern is described.Fig. 5 is the flow chart of switching action.Fig. 6 (a) is the sequential chart of conveying motor 16 in switching action, display part 8, CPU33.Fig. 6 (b) is the chart of the power consumption of each timing in Fig. 6 (a).First, printer 1 is the state that printing action has just terminated, if running status becomes pattern (step ST1).As shown in Figure 6, in step ST1, conveying motor 16 and CPU33 are supplied to electric power.
In addition, if in pattern, the action situation of print control section 30 is run condition monitoring portion 31 and monitors, detect in print control section 30 to be holding state, and the elapsed time confirming as this holding state of maintenance has exceeded fiducial time (step ST2, step ST3), then send switching command from operation conditions monitoring unit 31 to running status control part 32, by running status control part 32, the running status of printer 1 is switched to battery saving mode (step ST4) from pattern.If the running status of printer 1 is switched to battery saving mode from pattern, then by display control unit 37, the display of display part 8 is switched to battery saving mode information (step ST5) from status information.As shown in Figure 6, in the state of step ST5, stop being energized to conveying motor 16.In addition, stop being energized to CPU33.In addition, the elapsed time is measured by timer 39.
Next, if the input (step ST6: yes) of the operation based on switch 9a ~ 9d detected when display part 8 shows battery saving mode information in a power-save mode, then running status still keeps battery saving mode, and only the display of display part 8 is switched to status information from battery saving mode information.That is, running status is maintained battery saving mode by running status control part 32 always, and the display of display part 8 is changed to status information (step ST7) by display control unit 37.Now, the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d processes as the trigger for the display of display part 8 being switched to status information, does not carry out the process action according to this input.Therefore, by can not the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d under the state of acknowledgement state information, printer 1 be prevented to carry out original unwanted process action.In addition, in step ST7, running status maintains battery saving mode always, and only the display of display part 8 is switched to status information from battery saving mode information, and therefore printer 1 can suppress the increase of power consumption to make user's acknowledgement state.That is, as shown in Figure 6, in step ST7, stopping under the state be energized to conveying motor 16, supply electric power to CPU33, the display of display part 8 is switched to status information from battery saving mode information.
Here, when the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d newly not detected during when the elapsed time after being switched to status information to the display of display part 8 from battery saving mode information exceedes the setting-up time T preset (step ST8: no), display control unit 37 makes the display of display part 8 turn back to battery saving mode information (step ST5) from status information.Thus, confirming that the user being presented at the state of display part 8 by the input of the operation based on switch 9a ~ 9d in step ST6 is judged as thereafter without the need to carrying out the situation etc. of the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d, the display of display part 8 can be made to turn back to battery saving mode information.In step ST5, as shown in Figure 6, stop to CPU33 energising, the display of display part 8 is switched to battery saving mode information from status information.In addition, the elapsed time is measured by timer 38.
On the other hand, when the input based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d newly being detected during when the elapsed time after being switched to status information to the display of display part 8 from battery saving mode information exceedes the setting-up time T preset (step ST8: yes), running status is switched to pattern (step ST9) from battery saving mode by running status control part 32.As shown in Figure 6, in step ST9, become the state supplying electric power to CPU33 and conveying motor 16.
If running status is switched to pattern from battery saving mode, then print control section 30 carries out the process action (step ST10) of the basis in step ST8 based on the input of the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d.Here, can be by the switch 9a ~ 9d operated in step ST6 by the switch 9a ~ 9d operated in step ST8, in addition, also can be not by the switch 9a ~ 9d operated in step ST6.In which kind of situation, step ST10 can both carry out according to based in nearest step ST8 by the process action of the input of switch 9a ~ 9d operated.
In addition, when input not based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d after becoming battery saving mode (step ST4) (step ST6: no), and when not carrying out input (the step ST11) of the operation based on operating grip 11, print control section 30 is carried out according to the process action based on the input of the operation of operating grip 11 under the state maintaining battery saving mode.
In addition, when there is no input (the step ST6: no) based on the operation of switch 9a ~ 9d after becoming battery saving mode (step ST4), when from external equipment supply print data, under the state maintaining battery saving mode, print data is unfolded (step ST12) at printing buffer memory 35.Further, when the print data that printing buffer memory 35 launches includes printing initiation command (step ST13: yes), running status control part 32 makes running status return to pattern (step ST9) from battery saving mode.If running status becomes pattern, then print control section 30 carries out the printing action (step ST10) that prints on the print medium based on print data.In addition, in step ST4, after the running status of printer 1 is switched to battery saving mode from pattern, from external equipment supply print data, when the print data that printing buffer memory 35 launches does not comprise printing initiation command, running status is maintained battery saving mode by running status control part 32, thereafter, when printing initiation command from external equipment supply, running status is switched to pattern from battery saving mode.
If the process action in step ST10, or print release, then turn back to step ST1, step ST2, become the state of the action situation being monitored print control section 30 by operation conditions monitoring unit 31.
(other embodiment)
In above-mentioned example, when having carried out the input based on the operation undertaken by operating grip 11, running status has not been switched to pattern from battery saving mode by running status control part 32, but also can be switched to pattern.In addition, under being configured to the medium sensor 25 when battery saving mode when print media being detected, when battery saving mode, opening and closing sensor 26 detecting that shutter such as to open at the situation, also running status can be switched to pattern.
In addition, in the above example, battery saving mode information is by 1 LED(5LED8e) light expression, but also can all LED be made to extinguish when showing battery saving mode information.Like this, more power consumption can be suppressed in battery saving mode.
Further, in the above example, stop in a power-save mode to CPU energising, but also can reduce than the frequency when pattern by making to make in a power-save mode the frequency of CPU action, suppress power consumption.In addition, also can in a power-save mode, as the resting state stopping clock under the state be energized to CPU.
