Definitions

  • This invention pertains to an apparatus for checking printed matter, and more particularly for checking continuous or discrete sheets with multiple images, such as banknotes, stamps, securities and so on.
  • the EP-A-0 485,694 discloses a printed document checker for checks, bonds etc.
  • the apparatus contains a scanner and a data processing means in the form of a comparison unit which compares the data from the scanner with stored models.
  • a further objective is to provide a apparatus which can perform document checking continuously on line without the need for human intervention.
  • Yet a further objective is to provide a flexible system which can perform its function at high speed.
  • a printed matter checking apparatus in accordance with this invention is defined in claim 1.
  • the printed matter to be checked consists of images which are printed normally in two dimensional arrays on sheets. These sheets are sequentially fed to the subject apparatus, where they are scanned and if necessary to a reject station for rejection.
  • the reject station is adapted to receive specific identifying data from the microprocessor which identifies a specific document on the sheet to be rejected. The identified document is rejected for example by printing thereon a specific word or a message.
  • a printing and checking apparatus in accordance with the invention is defined in claim 7 and a method of checking in accordance with the invention is defined in claim 12.
  • a plurality of images are printed on a sheet 10 by a printing press.
  • the printing press is illustrated by a pair of rollers 12, 14.
  • These images 16, are normally identical, and are arranged in rows and columns defining a two dimensional array.
  • Figure 3 shows a plan view of the sheet, it being understood that a different set of images having the same size are printed on the bottom surface 24 of sheet 10 in perfect registration with the images 16 to thereby define a plurality of documents, each document bearing one image on top and another on the bottom.
  • the printed matter checking apparatus may disposed in line with the rollers 12, 14. Alternatively, a stack of sheets 10 may be collected after printing and checked for accuracy at a later time.
  • sheet 10 is forwarded to the printed matter checking apparatus including a scanner station with a set of scanners 18, 20.
  • Scanner 18 scans the top surface 22 of sheet 10 and generates first digital data signals on line 26 representatives of the images 16 on this surface.
  • Scanner 20 scans the bottom surface 24 of sheet 10 and generates a second set of data signals on line 28 representatives of the images on surface 24.
  • sheet 10 may be reversed and run a second time across the scanner 18 to generate the second digital data signals.
  • the digital data on the two lines 26 and 28 are fed to a controller 30.
  • This controller includes a microprocessor which performs high-speed digital analysis on the signals form these lines, and using certain preselected criteria determines if all the images on sheet 10 are acceptable. If these images acceptable, sheet 10 is forwarded without any further manipulation through a reject device 32.
  • the sheet 10 is forwarded for further manipulation by reject station 32.
  • reject station 32 includes a plurality of individual marking devices 34. Preferably, these marking devices are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the movement of sheet 10.
  • the number of marking devices 34 is equal to the number of rows of images 16 on sheet 10.
  • Each mark device may consist of an impact printer, an ink jet printer or any other device suitable for making a preselected reject mark on single image to identify it as a being rejected.
  • the reject mark may be any mark easily visible and clearly identifiable.
  • the reject mark could be a big blob, an oversized X, a bar, the word VOID, and so on.
  • the controller 30 also includes several other devices which control the movement of the sheets 10 consecutively to and through the scanning station and to and through the reject station. It should be understood that the controller 30 may include a single microprocessor device, or several microprocessor devices, each device being dedicated for a particular function, i.e. checking banknotes, moving the sheets 10, and so on.
  • the controller 30 checks the images on sheet 10 on an individual basis. If a sheet has an image, such as 16' determined by the microprocessor to be unacceptable, the controller 30 provides information to the reject station which identifies the actual image to be rejected. For example if 16' in Figure 3 is found to be bad, as the controller 30 forwards the sheet 10 with the unacceptable image through the reject station. The controller 30 also causes the reject station to print the preselected reject mark on image 16' by activating printer 34' at the appropriate time, i.e. when the portion of sheet 10 is disposed directly below marking device 34'.
  • station 32 can be provided with a set of printer devices 34 arranged in an array identical to the array of images 16 shown in Figure 3. In this instance when sheet 10 is aligned with the printer arrays, the specific printer 34' corresponding to the unacceptable image is activated thereby marking the unacceptable image with a reject mark.
  • a sheet 10 may have more than one unacceptable images arranged in a row, in a column, or distributed in a random pattern on the sheet.
  • the microprocessor identifies each of the unacceptable images and orders the reject station to mark each of the images on the sheet accordingly.
  • the reject station is constructed to apply the reject mark only on the top surface 22 of sheet 10 even if an unacceptable image is found on the bottom surface because the object is to mark and identify bad documents, and it is not important to mark the actual bad image.
  • the reject station can be provided with two sets of marking devices, one for the top surface and one on the bottom.
  • the sheet 10 is either stacked for delivery or is slit into individual documents and then stacked.
