Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tape printing system, in particular, but not exclusively, on a thermal printing system for printing on a ribbon.
  • General-purpose thermal printing devices with which the present invention is concerned are known. Such devices work with a tape supply for recording an image and a means for transferring an image to the tape.
  • a known device contains a tape holder housing a supply of image receiving tape and a supply of image transfer tape, the image receiving tape and the image transfer belt in mutual overlap through a printing zone of the Pressure device.
  • a working with a tape holder case of this kind Printing equipment is described, for example, in EP-A-0267890 (Varitronics, Inc.).
  • Image reception band consists of an upper, an image-receiving layer which is attached to a releasable layer by means of an adhesive layer Back layer is attached.
  • this section of tape becomes cut off so that it can be used as a label.
  • the detachable back layer is then peeled off from the top layer to make the top layer can be applied to a surface by means of the adhesive layer.
  • a printing device is also known from EP-A-0322918 (Brother Kogyo K.K.), in which a tape holder housing a supply of transparent image receiving tape and contains a stock of image transfer belt.
  • the tape holder housing also stores a supply of backing tape that carries a backing has an adhesive layer on its underside, on which a removable back is attached, as well as an adhesive layer on its top, which on the Image receiving tape can be attached after it is printed with an image has been.
  • the image is mirrored on the image receiving tape printed, and when viewed through the image-receiving tape, is read correctly again. This device protects the pressure when in use of the label.
  • a single unit contains the printing mechanism to perform the thermal printing process, a feed mechanism, which guides the tape through the printing zone, an input device for input a display of text data defining the characters to be printed, etc. for displaying the text and a processor for controlling the printing processes corresponding to the data entered with the input device.
  • the input device is a keyboard.
  • the ad is usually a pretty good one small LC display.
  • the thermal printing devices and systems described above allow a text to enter in different ways. So the text can be entered in "horizontal" format in which the characters run in the direction of the tape length and where the characters can be read normally (see word “BOOK" in Figure 1a). If text entered in this way is shown on a WYSIWYG display will, i.e. on a display on which the label is essentially shown as When it is printed, the horizontal text can be oriented in the normal orientation by the user to be read.
  • Figure 1b shows the text in a "rotated” format. In the above described printing devices this format is achieved in that the text in horizontal format is entered, highlighted and then a "rotation function" is performed.
  • the characters In the rotated format, the characters extend in the direction the bandwidth (in the direction of the print feed) and the text can cross normally read about the tape. If such text on a WYSIWYG ad displayed, it cannot be read normally by the user, unless it is because he tilts his head 90 ° or turns to read the text.
  • Figure 2a shows a label with a first form of a "vertical” format. So stretch the characters of the word “FILE” across the length across the Volume and text is usually read from top to bottom.
  • the user can use the word FILE in Figure 2a Read well on a WYSIWYG display only when the head is turned.
  • Figure 2b shows the word "FILE" in a second form of the vertical format.
  • the input device can be used to enter image orientation data that define the orientation of the image in relation to the user.
  • the text format data including define the orientation of the text to the tape, from the orientation just selected, i.e. depend on the image orientation data, the image.
  • the display is preferably controlled by the processor so that the input or edited text is displayed so that it is regardless of the orientation the characters can be read normally. That can mean that a own field is opened, in which the entered or edited text horizontally is displayed regardless of its orientation in relation to the tape and independent whether the text is "normal” or “vertical” (see further down).
  • the input device can also be used to input text rotation data, that define the rotation of the text in relation to the user.
  • a store can be provided, stored in the text together with the text rotation data with the image in a selected orientation with respect to the user can be called up and displayed.
  • the image orientation data can additionally be stored in memory so that the image is in the chosen orientation can be called.
  • a cursor is displayed which represents the position where an entered character is displayed.
  • the cursor position can be controlled to move horizontally on the display.
  • the printing system can consist of a stand-alone printing device in which the printing mechanism, the input device, the display and the processor form a unit.
  • the printing mechanism can be provided as a printer be placed away from the PC with input device, display and processor is.
  • the data for printing and the data for controlling the printing mechanism are then by means of a cable connection or other transmission device transferred to the printing mechanism.
