Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a printing control method, in particular to a label printing control method.
Background
The label is a business card of goods and services, and is used for representing names, signs and attributes of the goods or services. The major industries and products in which labels are applied are: retail and logistics in supermarkets, food and beverage, daily chemical products, cosmetics, electronic appliances, medicines, daily necessities, industrial related products, safety and anti-counterfeiting related products, environmental-protection related products and the like. The label product has rich content, and the label mainly comprises self-adhesive labels such as adhesive sticker, in-mold labels, heat-shrinkable labels, direct screen printing labels, radio frequency labels, intelligent labels, instant coating labels, bills and the like.
In the retail sale in a supermarket or a store, for non-standardized goods which are manufactured on site or need to be weighed, a special label printer is needed to weigh the goods, then the goods labels are printed out, and the goods labels are pasted on the goods for sale. When the label printer is used, the unit price and other information of the commodity need to be input in advance on the label printer, and if the input commodity information needs to be changed when a worker inputs an error or discounts the commodity in advance, all the commodity information needs to be input again, so that the operation steps are complex.
In order to solve the above problems, the prior art toshiba tag limited in the patent of CN104228364A proposes a label printer and a control method thereof, in which the label information that has been set is stored in a storage unit, and when the label information needs to be modified, a worker selects the label information in the storage unit to modify, thereby reducing the number of steps for re-input. However, CN104228364A also has the following drawbacks: on one hand, the discounted goods in retail generally have time limit, and after the discount is finished, the staff also needs to reset the goods information in the label printer, so that the steps are complex and the situation that the reset setting is not timely enough may exist; on the other hand, when the unit price of the commodity changes, the commodity with the printed label needs to be reweighed on the label printer and then new price information needs to be determined, so that multiple times of weighing are needed.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of CN104228364A, the present invention provides an improved label printing control method, which can reduce the number of times that the operator sets the commodity information in the label printer, and reduce the weighing step when updating the price label.
As an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a label printing control method including the steps of: (1) inputting label information of different commodities and storing the label information in a storage part of a label printer; (2) for the commodity needing to be discounted in the specific time period, before the specific time period, inputting the specific time period and the unit price of the commodity in the specific time period into a label printer and storing the label printer in a timing storage part; (3) determining the current time through a timer, and modifying the label information of the corresponding commodity in the storage part through a label information modification part when the current time reaches the beginning of a specific time period to modify the label information into first information; when the current time reaches the end of a specific time period, modifying the label information of the corresponding commodity in the storage part into original label information through a label information modifying part; (4) a print information specifying unit that specifies print information to be printed by the printing unit, based on the label information of the specified product stored in the storage unit; (5) the printing unit prints the print information specified by the print information specifying unit on label paper.
Preferably, the printed information includes a barcode or a two-dimensional code.
Preferably, the commodity is a commodity to be weighed.
Preferably, the printed label is attached to the surface of the article or to the packaging.
Preferably, the label information includes a product name, a unit price, and a store name.
Preferably, the printed information includes a barcode or a two-dimensional code.
Preferably, in the step (3), the unit price of the first information is a unit price of the commodity corresponding to the specific time.
Preferably, in the step (3), a unit price of the article in the original tag information is different from that of the article in the first information.
Preferably, in the step (4), the weighing unit is used for weighing the product, and the print information determining unit reads the tag information of the product in the storage unit after the weighing unit weighs the product, determines the price of the product based on the weight of the product determined by the weighing unit and the unit price of the product stored in the storage unit, and converts the tag information, the weight of the product, and the price stored in the storage unit into the barcode or the two-dimensional code, thereby forming the print information including the tag information, the weight of the product, the price, and the barcode or the two-dimensional code stored in the storage unit.
Preferably, in the step (3), after the label information of the product in the storage unit is modified by the label information modification unit, the label area of the label on which the product has been printed is blackened by the marking pen, and the label on which the printing has been performed is scanned by the scanning unit; the printing information determining part determines whether the label needs to be modified according to the content of the marking area after acquiring the information of the scanning part; when the label is determined to need to be modified, reading unit price information of the commodity in the label, comparing the unit price information with unit price information of the commodity in the storage part, and giving a signal that the label does not need to be modified if the unit price information of the commodity in the label is the same as the unit price information of the commodity in the storage part; if the current information of the commodity in the label is different from the unit price information of the commodity in the storage part, reading the commodity weight information in the label, calculating the price information of the commodity according to the commodity weight information and the unit price information of the commodity in the storage part, and regenerating updated printing information; the printing unit prints the updated print information generated by the print information specifying unit on a label sheet.
Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be briefly described below by using embodiments, and it is obvious that the following descriptions are only embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious for those skilled in the art to obtain other technical solutions according to these embodiments without any creative effort, and also fall within the disclosure of the present invention.
The label printer and the label printing control method are used for printing and outputting non-standardized commodity information needing to be weighed in a supermarket or store retail, and the label printer comprises label paper, a printing part, an information input part, a storage part, a printing information determining part, a timing storage part, a timer, a label information modifying part, a metering part and a scanning part.
The label paper can be self-adhesive label paper, and comprises a base paper, an adhesive layer and a surface layer capable of being printed. The printed label paper can be adhered to the surface of the commodity or the package. The printing section is used for printing label information on the label paper, and may use a printing method that is already known in the art, such as letterpress printing, gravure printing, offset printing, or flexo printing.
