Description

用于检验打印标记的打印机检验器和系统以及方法
技术领域
本发明涉及打印机,并且更具体地涉及用于检验打印标记的打印机检验器和系统以及方法。
背景技术
传统的标记打印机以各种各样的形式存在。这样的打印机需要打印介质的供应,以将标记打印在其上。标记具有其中所编码的数据。标记是数据的光学表示。存在用于许多应用的许多类型的标记。标记可以是具有沿着扫描轴线布置的不同宽度的暗线(即条)和浅线(即间隔)的一维条形码(例如通用产品代码(Universal Product Code),UPC)。标记可以是具有浅特征、暗特征和(在某些情况下)对齐特征的二维阵列的二维矩阵符号(例如Aztec代码、数据矩阵、QR代码等等)。一些标记可以使用颜色(例如超码(Ultracode))来编码数据。可以通过读取器(在读取条形码的情况下条形码读取器)来扫描(即读取)编码到打印标记(诸如条形码)中的数据。
打印错误可能因为许多原因被引入到打印标记(例如条形码)中。在条形码打印的情况下,该打印错误是特别严重的问题,因为条形码以条的宽度和间隔元素对数据进行编码。条形码仅仅是一种类型的机器可读打印标记,其中打印标记的容差与机器读取器在单次扫描中读取打印标记以及正确地解释所编码的数据的能力密切相关。包括打印错误的打印标记可能在检验过程中因为不满足打印质量标准而被检验器(verifier)拒绝,所述检验器与打印机分离。该检验器可以被附接至打印机,或者被用作独立设备,其中所述用户将打印标记带到所述独立设备用于检验。传统的检验器不与打印机通信地耦合。
传统的检验器通过捕获打印标记的图像并且根据打印质量标准来评估图像中的打印标记来使检验过程自动化。该打印机利用词语“废止(void)”来标明(brand)被拒绝的打印介质(包括打印标记),从而指示被拒绝的打印介质由于打印标记未能满足打印质量标准而不能用。不幸的是,“废止”指示不被所有打印机用户全球地认可和理解,尤其是因为世界人口的四分之三不说英语。此外,为了标明被拒绝的打印介质,被拒绝的打印介质必须被收回到打印机中,并且废止指示(void indication)在第二遍打印(second printingpass)中被打印,从而降低打印吞吐速度并减少色带寿命(ribbon life)。在所标明的被拒绝的打印介质退出打印机之后(即在第二遍打印之后),切割设备可以被用来将所标明的被拒绝的打印介质与介质卷(media roll)分离。
因此,存在对用于检验打印标记的打印机检验器和系统以及方法的需要。在英语词语“废止”可能不被认可和/或理解的地方尤其存在该需要。还存在增大打印吞吐速度并延长色带寿命的需要。
发明内容
根据本发明的不同实施例,提供一种用于打印和检验打印标记的打印机检验器。该打印机检验器包括:成像模块,其用于捕获打印介质上的打印标记的图像;存储器,其通信地耦合至该成像模块并且被配置成存储打印质量检验程序;以及通信地耦合至该存储器的处理器。通过打印质量检验程序将该处理器配置成评估打印标记的打印质量,确定该打印质量是否满足打印质量标准,当打印质量不满足打印质量标准时将打印介质上的打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝,以及以下之一:输出关于被拒绝的打印介质的位置特定反馈或者向切割设备发送命令信号来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。该位置特定反馈用与同打印机检验器相关联的语言相同的语言。
根据本发明的不同实施例,提供一种检验器。该检验器包括用于从打印机捕获打印标记的图像的成像模块,并且该检验器和打印机中的至少一个包括存储器和通信地耦合至该存储器的处理器。该存储器被配置成存储打印质量检验程序和包括多个位置特定消息的本地语言响应数据库。每个位置特定消息都用特定位置的本地语言。通过打印质量检验程序将该处理器配置成评估打印标记的打印质量,确定该打印质量是否满足打印质量标准,当打印质量标准不被满足时将在打印介质上打印的打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝,以及促使打印机用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言在被拒绝的打印介质上打印位置特定消息。
根据不同实施例,提供一种用于检验打印标记的方法。该方法包括:从由通信地耦合至打印机的成像模块捕获的图像来评估打印标记的打印质量,以及确定打印标记是否满足打印质量标准。当打印质量标准不被满足时,打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质被拒绝。用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言在被拒绝的打印介质上打印位置特定消息。
根据不同实施例,提供一种用于检验打印标记的方法。该方法包括从打印标记的所捕获的图像评估打印标记的打印质量,以及确定出打印标记不满足打印质量标准。该打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质被拒绝。向切割设备传送命令信号来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。
在下面详细的说明书以及其附图内进一步解释前述说明性概要以及本发明的其他示例性目的和/或优点以及实现这些的方式。

图8是根据本发明的不同实施例的用于检验打印标记的方法的流程图,所述方法包括向切割设备传送命令信号用来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。
具体实施方式
不同实施例涉及用于检验打印标记的打印机检验器和系统以及方法。可以使用位置特定反馈或者通过拒绝之后的自动毁坏来检验打印标记。不同实施例提供用户友好的位置特定反馈,所述用户友好的位置特定反馈可以用与打印机的当前位置相同的语言或由用户配置的语言(可以是对于打印机的当前位置的本地语言)。不同实施例增大打印吞吐速度并延长色带寿命。不同实施例在不讲英语的国家尤其有帮助。如本文中所使用的,术语“检验(verify)”等等指的是:拒绝之后是使用位置特定反馈来标明被拒绝的打印介质以及拒绝之后是在不首先标明被拒绝的打印介质的情况下使用切割设备来自动毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。如本文中所使用的,术语“位置(location)”指的是具有与其相关联的本地语言的地点(locality),诸如地区、国家或民族、州、县、镇、地块(plot)、坐标等等。如本文中所使用的,术语“本地语言(local language)”包括与位置相关联的本土语言以及与位置相关联的非本土语言。例如,西班牙语是处于美国内的且在美国墨西哥边界上的州中的非本土语言。在该示例中,英语和西班牙语二者可以被视为本地语言。可以存在与位置相关联的一种或多种本地语言。
将关于热转印打印机(thermal transfer printer)来描述本发明的不同实施例。然而,本发明可以同样地适用于其他类型和样式的打印机(包括打印机检验器在内)(例如直接转印打印机(direct transfer printer)、激光墨粉打印机(laser toner printer)、喷墨打印机(ink jet printer)等等)。如本文中所使用的,术语“打印机”指的是将标记、文本、插图等等打印到打印介质(例如标签、票、普通纸、收据纸、塑料透明体(plastictransparencies)等等)上的设备。打印介质可以是连续的或非连续的。如在本文中所使用的,术语“标记(indicium)”(以及复数术语(plural term)“多个标记(indicia)”)指的是可以通过机器读取器扫描(即机器读取)的数据的光学表示(即数据被编码到标记中)。存在用于许多应用的许多类型的标记。标记可以是具有沿着扫描轴线布置的不同宽度的暗线(即条)和浅线(即间隔)的一维条形码(例如通用产品代码,UPC)。标记可以是具有浅特征、暗特征和(在某些情况下)对齐特征的二维阵列的二维矩阵符号(例如Aztec代码、数据矩阵、QR代码、OCR-B等等)。一些标记可以使用颜色(例如超码)来编码数据。标记被打印在打印介质上。一旦被打印在打印介质上,标记在这里就被认为是“一个打印标记(printedindicium)”或“多个打印标记(printed indicia)”,并且标记被打印在其上的打印介质在这里被称为“打印介质”。打印介质可以被粘贴到物品上。通常,编码数据与打印介质被粘贴到其上的(一个或多个)物品有关。术语“一个标记”和“多个标记”在本文中可以可互换地被使用。
现在参考图1并且简略地参考图2和3,根据不同实施例描绘用于检验打印标记的系统200。该系统200通常包括通信地耦合至成像模块66的打印机30(例如图1)。如在下文中所描述的,通信地耦合至打印机30的成像模块66是单独的设备(图2)或被设置在单独的检验器64(图3)中。检验器64可以被附接至打印机30或者可以是独立设备,用户将打印标记带到所述独立设备用于检验。在任一种情况下,该检验器64通信地耦合至打印机。如在下文中描述的和在图4中描绘的不同实施例中,打印机可以进一步包括成像模块(即成像模块66被设置在打印机中,在这种情况下,打印机包括打印机检验器36)。
该成像模块66被配置成使用图像传感器11捕获打印标记(例如图2的条形码1)在视场7内的光学图像。该标记被打印在打印介质22上,从而结果得到打印介质6。该图像传感器11使用成像透镜(或多个透镜)来在光传感器(photo sensor)阵列(例如线性或2D阵列CCD、CMOS传感器等等)上形成视场7的实像。来自光传感器的电子信号被用来产生灰度级或彩色图像。图像可以被存储在存储器52/152中并且然后由处理器33/133再调用(recalled)用于检验。
图1中描绘的部分示出的示例性打印机30能够在打印介质22上打印标记。所描绘的打印机30具有用于包围打印机的内部的主体32。打印机30进一步包括电源和用于进入(accessing)打印机的内部的可移动盖(在图1中为了图示的目的被去除)。在热转印打印机的情况下,可以存在包含在主体32内的色带供应轴40。色带供应辊16被配置成设置在色带供应轴40上。该色带供应辊16包括缠绕在色带供应卷轴14上的墨带12。该墨带供应转印到打印介质上的介质(例如油墨)。该打印机30可以进一步包括热打印头31,其当沿着色带路径(在图1中的箭头B)从色带供应卷轴14解绕(unwound)墨带并且沿着介质路径(在图1中的箭头C)从介质供应卷轴24解绕打印介质22时被利用来将油墨的一部分从墨带12热转印至打印介质22。该介质供应辊20包括缠绕在介质供应卷轴24上的打印介质22。介质供应轴42被包含在主体32内,介质供应辊20被配置成被设置在所述介质供应轴上。在其上缠绕未缠绕的色带的色带重绕轴44也可以被包含在主体32内。尽管色带重绕轴44上的色带卷取部(ribbon take)15可能是不必要的,但是色带卷取部15可以被设置在色带重绕轴44上。打印机30可以进一步包括一个或多个电动机(未示出),其用于在向前(图1中的箭头A)或向后旋转方向上(取决于油墨表面)旋转色带供应轴40和设置在其上(如果存在的话)的色带辊16,用于在向前的旋转方向上旋转设置在介质供应轴42上的介质供应辊20,以及用于旋转色带重绕轴44。在直接转印打印机中,可以省去色带供应卷轴、色带重绕卷轴和色带,并且热敏纸24代替打印介质。
仍参考图1,根据本发明的不同实施例,该打印机30进一步包括存储器52、通信地耦合至该存储器52的中央处理单元(CPU)33(在这里“处理器”),并且可以进一步包括通信模块172。该打印机30可以进一步包括用于显示视觉和/或听觉信息并且从用户接收(例如打字的、触摸的、口说的等等)信息的图形用户界面(CUI)34。打印机的主体32可以包括具有例如显示器35和带有功能按钮39的键盘37的图形用户界面43。可以使用如本领域中已知的其他图形用户界面(如果真会发生的话(if at all))。
该中央处理单元(CPU)是计算机内的电子电路,其通过执行如由下文中所述的通过指令所指定的基本算术、逻辑、控制和输入/输出(I/O)操作来实施程序的指令。该打印机30可以使用通信模块162经由有线或无线数据链路通信地连接至计算机或网络18。在无线配置中,该通信模块162可以通过网络18经由各种各样的通信协议(例如WI-FI®、蓝牙®、CDMA、TDMA或GSM)与主机设备通信。在如下文中所述的本发明的不同实施例中,为了如在下文中描述的目的,该系统200可以进一步包括设置在打印机30后面的切割设备70。
根据本发明的不同实施例,打印机30的存储器52可以被配置成存储内部定位数据库(internal localization database)54、打印质量检验软件程序56和本地语言响应数据库(LLRD)58。该存储器52可以进一步被配置成存储如下文所述的位置特定格式化数据库60,其具有对于打印在被拒绝的打印介质上的(一个或多个)位置特定消息的一个或多个位置特定格式。位置特定消息的显示格式可以由位置特定格式限定(dictated)。该存储器52可以进一步被配置成存储如下文所述的打印质量标准数据库62。
该内部定位数据库54包括打印机配置设置,其包括具有与打印机相关联的语言的配置设置,或者如果打印机被连接至网络18,则可以从本地互联网服务器、本地蜂窝塔和GPS读数(reading)中的至少一个中推断与打印机相关联的语言。在不同实施例中,该语言可以对应于与打印机的当前位置相关联的本地语言。在不同实施例中,与打印机相关联的语言可以用与同打印机的当前位置相关联的语言不同的语言。打印机30的处理器33可以从例如打印机用户(例如经由图1的图形用户界面(GUI)34)接收配置设置。
LLRD 58包括多个位置特定消息74(参见例如下面的表1以及图6和7)。每个位置特定消息74都可以用不同的语言。每个位置特定消息74都可以用特定位置的本地语言。位置特定消息74可以是错误消息74a、指令消息74b或错误消息74a和指令消息74b二者。该错误消息指示打印标记是不能用的。该错误消息可以是词语“VOID”或本地语言中的类似物。例如,下面的表1示出多个示例性错误消息74a,每个错误消息都用本地语言。该错误消息可以用指示该打印标记被拒绝且是不能用的任何本地语言和任何词语或短语等等(即词语不一定必须对应于“VOID”)。如先前所指出的,对于每个位置可能存在多于一种本地语言。
Figure 448448DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
根据本发明的不同实施例,处理器33通信地耦合至存储器52并且通过打印质量检验程序配置用以执行以下步骤:从打印标记的所捕获的图像评估该打印标记的打印质量,确定出该打印标记不满足打印质量标准,将打印介质(包括该打印标记)作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝,确定与打印机相关联的语言,从存储器检索用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言的位置特定消息,以及促使打印机作为如下文所述的关于被拒绝的打印介质的位置特定反馈输出位置特定消息。在不同实施例中,当处理器33输出关于被拒绝的打印介质的位置特定反馈时(例如当打印机利用用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言的位置特定消息标明被拒绝的打印介质时)向用户传达位置特定反馈。在不同实施例中,该处理器33可以可替代地或附加地经由包括记录的语音和/或合成口语(synthesized spokenlanguage)的音频信号来输出位置特定反馈。该位置特定反馈可以用与同打印机的当前位置相关联的语言相同的语言。可以通过通信地耦合至处理器的GUI 34(如果存在的话)将该位置特定反馈提供给用户。
根据不同实施例,该处理器33被配置成根据打印机的内部定位数据库54中的配置设置中的至少一个来确定与打印机相关联的语言,或者如果打印机被连接至网络18,则该处理器33被配置成根据本地互联网服务器、本地蜂窝塔和GPS读数中的至少一个的位置细节来确定与打印机相关联的语言。该打印机30的处理器33可以(例如经由图1的图形用户界面(GUI)34)从例如打印机用户接收配置设置。该打印机配置设置和网络18可以被用作对本地语言响应数据库(LLRD)58中的位置特定消息的指示器(pointer)。如下文所述,可以基于如从本地互联网服务器、本地互联网塔、GPS设置和用户输入推断或确定的打印机当前位置来确定位置特定反馈的语言。
再次且现在尤其参考图3,根据不同实施例,成像模块66通信地耦合至打印机并且可以被设置在单独的检验器64中。该单独的检验器64可以被附接至打印机30或者可以是独立设备,其中用户将打印标记带到所述独立设备用于检验。在任一种情况下,该检验器64通信地耦合至打印机。该检验器64可以包括电连接至成像模块66的存储器(检验器存储器152)以及包括中央处理单元(CPU)(在这里“检验器处理器”133)。该检验器64可以进一步包括I/O模块134和检验器通信模块172。图3的检验器64中的子系统经由耦合器(例如导线、迹线(trace)等等)电连接以形成互连子系统。该互连子系统可以包括电源总线(powerbuses)或电力线、数据总线、指令总线、地址总线等等,它们允许模块/子系统的操作以及它们之间的交互。I/O模块134可以包括检验器图形用户界面。在不同实施例中,可以使用检验器通信模块172经由有线或无线数据链路将该检验器64通信地连接至计算机或者网络18。在无线配置中,该通信模块可以通过网络经由各种各样的通信协议(例如WI-FI®、蓝牙®、CDMA、TDMA或GSM)与主机设备通信。
尽管图3建议在打印机30和检验器64二者中的存储器52/152和处理器33/133,但是要理解的是,仅打印机30或仅通信地耦合至所述打印机的检验器64可以包括用于执行如下文中如下文所述的步骤的处理器和存储器,即检验器和打印机中的至少一个包括通信地耦合至成像模块的存储器和通信地耦合至存储器的处理器。在打印机和检验器的至少一个中的存储器被配置成存储打印质量检验程序和本地语言响应数据库,所述本地语言响应数据库包括多个位置特定消息。通过打印质量检验程序对打印机和检验器中的至少一个中的处理器进行配置,用以评估该打印标记的打印质量,确定出该打印质量不满足打印质量标准,将打印在打印介质上的该打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝,确定与打印机相关联的语言,从存储器再调用用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言的位置特定消息,以及促使打印机在被拒绝的打印介质上打印位置特定消息。
根据本发明的不同实施例,被附接至打印机的检验器64可能依赖于用于执行如下文所述的步骤的打印机30的处理器33和存储器52,而作为独立设备的检验器64具有其自己的用于执行如下文所述的步骤的处理器133和存储器152。
现在参考图4和4A,根据本发明的不同实施例,该打印机30可以进一步包括成像模块66(即成像模块66被设置在打印机30内)(包括成像模块66的打印机30特别地在本文中被称为“打印机检验器”36或打印机36)。在图4和4A中描绘的打印机检验器36被配置成既捕获又检验所描绘的在打印介质上打印的该标记的图像。在如下文所述的不同实施例中,为了如下文所述的目的,该打印机检验器36可以进一步包括在该打印标记被打印在一个打印介质/多个打印介质(the print media/print medium)上之后沿着介质路径设置的切割设备70。除了包括成像模块以及可选地包括打印机检验器36中的切割设备之外,打印机检验器36和如先前所述的打印机30是相同的。更具体地,该打印机检验器36包括:成像模块66,其用于捕获打印介质上的该打印标记的图像;存储器52,其通信地耦合至成像模块66且被配置成存储打印质量检验程序;以及处理器33,其通信地耦合至存储器并且通过打印质量检验程序被配置成评估该打印标记的打印质量,确定出该打印质量不满足打印质量标准,将打印介质上的该打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝,以及以下之一:输出关于被拒绝的打印介质的位置特定反馈(该位置特定反馈用与同打印机检验器相关联的语言相同的语言)或者向切割设备70发送命令信号用以毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。该打印机检验器的处理器33被进一步配置成确定与打印机检验器相关联的语言,从存储器再调用用与同打印机检验器相关联的语言相同的语言的位置特定消息,以及以与图2和3中描绘的系统相同的方式将位置特定消息作为位置特定反馈来输出。
现在参考图5,根据不同实施例,一种用于使用位置特定反馈来检验打印标记的方法100包括使用打印质量检验程序56评估图像中的打印标记(例如图2、3和4的条形码1)的打印质量(步骤150)。如先前所指出的,该打印质量检验程序可以被存储在图2的打印机30的存储器52中、图3的打印机30或检验器64(检验器存储器)中的至少一个的存储器中、或者图4和4A的打印机检验器36的存储器52中。
仍参考图5,根据不同实施例,用于检验打印标记的方法100包括确定该打印标记是否满足一个或多个打印质量标准(步骤155)。如先前所提出的,如果打印标记与打印质量标准或其可接受的容差有偏差,则通过打印质量检验程序56配置的处理器33和/或检验器处理器133确定出打印标记不满足打印质量标准。在国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会(ISO/IEC)15415、30116和15416中阐述示例性打印质量标准。该打印质量标准可以被存储在打印机30的存储器52中的和/或检验器存储器152中的打印质量标准数据库62中。
仍参考图5,根据不同实施例,用于检验打印标记的方法100包括将打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝(步骤160),例如无论该标记是打印介质(例如纸张)的一部分还是粘贴到物品的特定标签,该标记作为打印的被拒绝。如下文所述的图6和7描绘被拒绝的打印介质80。
仍参考图5,根据不同实施例,用于检验打印标记的方法100包括确定与打印机30/打印机检验器36相关联的语言(步骤165)。虽然在图5中被描绘为在步骤160之后被执行,但是要理解的是,步骤165可以在用于检验打印标记的方法100中的步骤150、155和160中的任一个之前被执行(即如所描绘的,可以在步骤150之前、在步骤150和155之间、在步骤155和160之间或者在步骤160之后确定打印机30/打印机检验器36的当前位置)。处理器33和/或检验器处理器133(图3)被配置成根据打印机30/36的内部定位数据库54中的配置设置中的至少一个确定与打印机30/打印机检验器36相关联的语言,或者如果打印机30/打印机检验器36被连接至网络18则根据本地互联网服务器、本地蜂窝塔、GPS读数和用户中的至少一个的位置细节来确定与打印机30/打印机检验器36相关联的语言。该打印机配置设置和网络18可以被用作对本地语言响应数据库(LLRD)58中的位置特定消息的指示器。如下文所述的,可以基于打印机30/36的当前位置来确定位置特定反馈的语言。
仍参考图5,根据不同实施例,用于检验打印标记的方法100包括从LLRD 58再调用与同打印机30/打印机检验器36相关联的语言相关联的位置特定消息(参见例如表1)(步骤170)。与打印机30/打印机检验器36相关联的语言可以与对应于打印机的当前位置的特定位置相关联。
仍参考图5,根据不同实施例,用于检验打印标记(例如图6和图7的条形码1)的方法100可以包括输出关于被拒绝的打印介质的位置特定反馈(步骤175)。处理器33和/或检验器处理器133(图3)促使打印机30/打印机检验器36将位置特定消息74打印为被拒绝的打印介质80上的位置特定反馈(参见例如图6和7)。该位置特定消息可以至少部分地被打印在具有打印错误的打印标记(例如图6和7的条形码1)上。
如先前所提出的,该位置特定反馈可以包括位置特定消息74,其包括错误消息74a、指令消息74b或错误消息74a和指令消息74b二者。该错误消息74a指示打印标记是不能用的。该错误消息可以是词语“VOID”或本地语言中的类似物(参见例如表1)。
位置特定指令消息74b可以向打印机用户提供关于对于被拒绝的打印介质80的处置指令(disposal instructions)的定制指令。例如,雇主可能希望保留所有被拒绝的打印介质(例如不成功的标签)以用于以后(at a later date)进一步测试。在该示例中,指令消息“保留该标记用于进一步分析”等等可以被打印在被拒绝的打印介质80上。其他示例性指令消息包括“回收(recycle)该标签”、“送至无用存储单元(Route to Garbage)”等等。该指令消息74b可以包括任何指令。该指令消息74b可以用本地语言或可以用不同的语言。
现在特别地参考图6和7,根据本发明的不同实施例,图6描绘根据本发明的不同实施例的示例性一个/多个被拒绝的打印介质(the exemplary rejected printed media/medium)80,其包括打印在一个/多个打印介质(the print media/medium)22上的标记(例如条形码1),其具有用特定位置(在该情况下巴西)的本地语言(葡萄牙语)打印在其上的示例性位置特定错误消息(INVALIDAR)74a(葡萄牙语词语INVALIDAR对应于英语词语“VOID”)。图7描绘打印在图7的被拒绝的打印介质80上的错误消息INVALIDAR 74a和指令消息74b。图7中的位置特定指令消息包括用以把被拒绝的打印介质送至质量保证部门(其在葡萄牙语中是Enviar a Garantia de Qualidade)的用本地语言(葡萄牙语)对用户的指令。根据本发明的不同实施例,该指令消息可以可替代地或附加地包括诸如图7中描绘的时间戳和/或打印机ID。根据不同实施例,方法100提供被认可且理解的用户友好反馈。在不同实施例中,该位置特定反馈可以可替代地或附加地被提供为到用户的音频信号,诸如以语音记录和/或合成口语。拒绝可以伴随有铃声、哨声、嘟嘟声、钟声等等中的至少一个用来使用户警惕打印标记的拒绝。
在一些用户环境中,用第一语言打印错误消息并且用不同于第一语言的第二语言打印指令消息可能是有益的。该指令消息可以用两种或更多种语言。例如,在一些位置中,可能常见的是具有大量移民工作人口,他们的第一语言不是他们居住在的位置(例如国家)的本地语言。具有用多种语言的指令消息在这种情形下可能有利于雇主。
现在参考图8,根据本发明的不同实施例,用于检验打印在打印介质上的标记的方法1000以与方法100相同的方式开始。用于检验打印标记的方法1000包括步骤1500(评估所捕获的图像中的打印标记的打印质量)、步骤1550(确定打印标记是否满足打印质量标准)以及步骤1600(将打印标记作为被拒绝的打印介质予以拒绝)(步骤1500、1550和1600分别对应于方法100的步骤150、155和160)。在步骤1600之后,用于检验打印标记的方法1000继续通过打印机30/打印机检验器36的处理器向切割设备70传送命令信号来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质(步骤1605)。该切割设备通过至少经过打印标记一次来切割被拒绝的打印介质(更具体地,被拒绝的打印介质的打印标记)以及直到(up to)并且包括被拒绝的打印介质的有效粉碎来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质。
用于检验标记的方法1000提供若干益处。打印介质的毁坏是不取决于本地语言的普遍可理解的事件。因为可以通过切割设备来毁坏被拒绝的打印介质,所以被拒绝的打印介质首先不必须被标明且然后被毁坏,由此增大打印吞吐速度并延长色带寿命。
从前述内容,要理解的是,不同实施例提供用与同打印机相关联的语言相同的语言的位置特定反馈,因此使该反馈更用户友好。不同实施例还可以增大打印吞吐速度并延长色带寿命。
