Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printer for a variety of different print objects, which is designed in a modular design, wherein at least in the document transport direction, a character recognition device and a printing unit are arranged in succession and the respective document via an insertion slot in one of the character recognition device and the printing unit opposite transport plane is movable.
  • Such receipts (documents) reading and printing devices are increasingly used as aids at post and bank counters (cf. DE-A1-37 02 270).
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide in a multifunction printer (which has at least one character recognition device and a printing unit) the possibility of automated processing of a plurality of (identical) documents and, at the same time, the type of documents when the printer was manufactured in to be considered in advance.
  • the printer should therefore not only be able to perform a large number of editing functions but also to process the most diverse types of documents and not just individually, but in larger groups.
  • the insertion shaft is arranged in the transport direction of the document in front of the character recognition device and consists of an input part which is inclined or perpendicular to the transport plane and of a constricted part relative to the input part and only one document in the There is a horizontal deflecting output part.
  • At least one pair of transport rollers is provided in the output part.
  • the input part consists of a housing frame into which paper cassettes with a resilient cassette bottom can be inserted perpendicularly or at an angle to the transport plane of the documents, that the narrowed output part with the transport rollers connects to the housing frame in a corner part and that in the area of the corner part or the pair of transport rollers, one or more coaxial separating rollers are provided which protrude through the housing frame wall and rest on the sheet stack of the filled paper cassette.
  • the processability of a large number of document types is also increased by the fact that the paper cassette, which can be used vertically or at an angle, is designed in longitudinal or landscape format.
  • a simplified arrangement with the same number of receipts of one and the same document type is created in that the paper cassette, which can be used vertically or at an incline, is designed without lateral boundary walls.
  • the input part of the insertion shaft is trough-shaped for a journal roll, that the transport rollers are arranged in the transport direction in front of the deflecting output part and that a cutting device is switched on in the output part.
  • the multiform printer works here as a receipt printer.
  • the multiform printer both as a receipt printer and as a receipt printer.
  • This embodiment is achieved in that the respective input part is subdivided perpendicularly to the document transport direction into a housing frame for paper cassettes and into a trough for a journal roll.
  • the paper guides require easy access due to the special friction between the documents. Therefore, it is also proposed that the input part and the output part of the insertion shaft are parts of a cover pivotally mounted on the printer.
  • Another embodiment is that the input part and the output part together form a structural unit separate from the cover.
  • the insertion slot is arranged between the character recognition device and a power supply unit in the rear area of the printer facing away from the control panel.
  • the multiform printer called printer 1 for short, has, as modular assemblies, a character recognition device 2 and a printing unit 3, both of which are arranged one after the other in the document transport direction 4.
  • the printing unit 3 is described in detail in DE-A1-37 02 270 and therefore does not require further explanation here. It should only be noted that the very compact printing unit 3 has an ink ribbon cassette 5, a print head 6, an automatic paper thickness compensation device 7 and corresponding guides for the print head 6.
  • the character recognition device 2 has a guide frame 8 which can be moved across on two parallel guide rods 9 and 10.
  • the guide frame 8 is movable by means of a drive 11.
  • a read head 12 is also visible.
  • An optical line finding can also be provided within the reading head 12.
  • the printer 1 also has a control panel 13, a base frame 14 and a housing base pan 15 which is supported on feet 16.
  • the base frame 14 contains an electronic control device for all components to be driven.
  • In the housing base pan 15 there is also a detection electronics in the form of a compact circuit board.
  • a document 17 passes through an insertion shaft 18 vertically or inclined to a transport plane 19 through an input part 20 into an output part 21, the document 17 being deflected from the vertical to the horizontal and the substantially further input part 20 narrowing into the output part 21 in this way that in the output part 21 practically only one document 17 can be kept at a time, whereas a stack 22 of documents 17 can be stored in the input part 20.
  • At least one pair of transport rollers 23 is provided in the output part 21.
  • the input part 20 is formed from a housing frame 24 which is perpendicular or inclined to the transport plane 19 for the documents 17. Paper cassettes 25 with a resilient cassette base 26 can be inserted into the housing frame 24. At a corner part 27, the housing frame 24 has the narrowed output part 21, on which the pair of transport rollers 23 is arranged. In the area of this corner part 27, at least one separating roller 28 is provided, which projects through the housing frame wall 24a and rests on the stack 22 of the filled paper cassette 25. The paper cassette 25 always presses against the separating roller 28 with a resilient cassette base 26 (not shown in more detail).
  • the paper cassette 25 can be used vertically or inclined in the longitudinal or landscape format as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the paper cassette 25 can be designed without the lateral boundary walls 25a or 25b, so that, as shown in FIG. 8, only the resilient cassette base 26 is used.
  • the input part 20 of the insertion shaft 18 is trough-shaped for a receipt roll 29.
  • the pair of transport rollers 23 are arranged in the transport direction 4 in front of the deflecting output part 21.
  • a cutting device 30 is interposed in the output part 21.
  • the printer can also be operated with the receipt roll 29 in such a way that the receipt roll 29 serves as a journal roll on which all recordings of a longer period of time are noted. In practice, daily records are currently being made.
  • the input part 20 of the insertion shaft 18 can be designed perpendicular to the course of the document transport direction 4 as a first housing frame 24a for paper cassettes 25 and as a second housing frame 24b, which is shaped as a trough 31 (FIGS. 2, 6 and 7).
  • the input part 20 and the output part 21 of the insertion shaft 18 can be parts of a cover 33 which is pivotably mounted on the printer 1 about an axis 32.
  • the illustrated embodiment provides that the input part 20 and the output part 21 together form a separate unit from the cover 33.
  • the insertion slot 18 is arranged between the character recognition device 2 and a power supply unit 34 in the rear area of the printer 1 facing away from the control panel.
