Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printer thermal intended to be associated with any terminal an information processing facility.
  • the terminal is equipped with a video screen of the like television receiver, minitel or installation monitor IT ... with which it is necessary to associate a printer for example for printing data appearing on this video screen and more particularly when it comes to fugitive data which disappear by the very fact of using the terminal by an operator.
  • a very specific application of this type installation is interactive television by which transactions are negotiated.
  • a printer whose power supply is connectable directly at the terminal, whatever the characteristics of his diet, and despite the fact that in general this power supply is sized only for the needs of the terminal. There is no longer any need to connect the printer to the energy distribution network which simplifies the hardware by removing a connection socket from the printer to the distribution network and removing the constraint for the user to provide a place specific for this connection.
  • the invention therefore relates to the combination a terminal and a printer of a treatment plant data comprising on the one hand, a terminal comprising its electric power supply sized to its specific need and a multi-pin outlet having at least two pins for the transmission of data and two other pins between which is has a supply voltage derived from said specific power supply and secondly, a printer whose power supply is provided by a battery rechargeable battery, the system comprising a electric connection for charging the rechargeable battery, connected to output pins with voltage derived from the terminal's specific power supply.
  • the terminal in question is represented on the figure in the form of a television set 1, comprising a power cord 2, link 3 with a unit central or a network not shown, and a cable link 4 intended to be connected to a printer 5.
  • the power to the thermal printer is as for it ensured by a connected rechargeable battery to the power supply of terminal 1 by means of the cable connection 4.
  • the outlet 7 at the rear of terminal 4 is generally multispindle. Between two of his pins there is a supply voltage derived from specific terminal power supply. In the same way the input socket 8 of the printer 5 includes these same pins so that cable 4 connects the rechargeable battery to supply terminal 1.
  • the link 4 is of the type RS 485 6-wire with RJ11 socket, two wires not being connected, two used for data transmission and two used for power supply, for example 9V.
  • This storage battery 6 is therefore recharged by low currents diverted from the terminal 1 supply which, although dimensioned to the specific needs of this terminal, authorizes this parallel connection of a rechargeable battery.
  • printer 5 In this type of application, the use of printer 5 is sporadic, so the time during which the battery is used to supply energy to the printer is very much less than the time during which the weak current from the supply of the terminal 1 charges this battery. Furthermore, when printer 5 uses the energy source, it is usually from strong currents for brief periods time intervals. The power supply of terminal 1 cannot not deliver energy in this form. However, the rechargeable battery 6 is able to fit perfectly the printer's energy requirements 5.
  • the main advantage of the invention is to simplify connections between a terminal and a printer appendix intended to constitute a written proof of the data carried or transiting through this installation terminal data processing.
