Definitions
- the arrangement relates to printers for receipts in applications in which a journal is also kept.
- journal In the case of financial transactions at cash registers and in cash dispensers, it is required that a log of every transaction is kept in the device. This protocol, called the "journal", is often needed on paper to be useful as evidence. Therefore, two printers are usually used, one for the customer and the other for printing a journal mostly on continuous paper. Combined printing units are also known which have two printing stations.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution which replaces the previous solutions with two printing units in such a way that the previous applications can continue to be used unchanged.
- the invention only uses a printing unit and a non-volatile memory in the printer, which records the data for the journal and only outputs it on request to the printing unit. Further refinements and expedient further developments can be found in the description below.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a printer with journal memory according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a printer 10 which comprises a printing unit 11 which is able to print on a recording medium 12.
- the printing unit is connected to control electronics 13, which receives the data at a first interface 14 and processes them appropriately for the printing unit 11.
- Mosaic printers with needle or ink jet print heads, those with thermal lines or with electrophotographic image generation can be used as the printing unit, for example.
- the control electronics must be designed according to the printing process. As a rule, such a printer also has a control panel 20 with a display 21 and an input key 22.
- An interface can be one of the known interfaces such as a Centronics printer interface, an extension derived therefrom (ECP or EPP) or a serial interface according to RS232 with asynchronous or synchronous protocol, e.g. HDLC.
- the printer comprises a second interface 16, which is also connected to the control electronics 13.
- the data on this interface are not printed out immediately in the normal operating mode, but are stored in a journal memory 17.
- Any non-volatile memory is suitable as a journal memory which, according to the manufacturer's instructions, must be used in such a way that a power failure does not change or delete the data already stored.
- a Flash EPROM of the type designation Am 29f010 Type A from AMD or a similar component is suitable for this. This has the advantage that it can be easily arranged in the control electronics as a memory in the address space of a microprocessor that is common in control electronics today. However, a PCMCIA memory card or a hard drive are just as possible as a battery-backed CMOS RAM.
- the memory is preferably arranged so that it can be plugged in, so that in the event of an irreparable failure of the printing unit, the memory can be removed and inserted and used in a second printer with a journal device according to this invention.
- the data are preferably encoded in the journal memory 17, in particular according to ISO 8859/1 or ASCII and stored line by line.
- filing would appear as "non-coded information", ie as a graphic pattern. This means that apart from the line break, everyone else Control characters such as bold or graphic print are ignored.
- journal mode data in the journal memory 17 are output on the printing unit 11. This is symbolized in Fig. 1 by the switch 15.
- the first interface 14 cannot be used, which is indicated, for example, by a "paper end” signal or by suppressing an acknowledgment signal.
- the second interface 16 is also deactivated during this time in order to keep the programming of the control electronics simple.
- the transition to journal mode can be achieved on the one hand by means of a control panel 20 with a display 21 and one or more keys 22.
- the control panel 20 is connected to the control electronics 13 via a connection 23, so that it can monitor the control panel 20 and switch over to the journal mode.
- the switchover can also take place by means of control characters given via one of the two interfaces 14, 16.
- the paper can also be changed if necessary.
- journal memory can be deleted.
- this can be done by a separate command of the operator.
- the deletion is carried out automatically at the end of the successful printout. This solution is advantageous if, for example, only a single button without display is used for journal printing. The deletion takes place only if all lines from the point of view of the control electronics have been printed and neither paper jam nor paper end or other abnormal conditions have occurred. In the event of such an error, the pressure is stopped and, after being released again, repeated from the beginning.
- a predetermined number for example twenty, lines of the journal can be retained as marked.
- a further function only prints the last twenty (or another number) lines of the journal without deleting it. This is useful in the case of immediately expressed reactions from a customer whose business transactions have so far been traceable on the immediately printed paper. Each subsequent call prints the next number of lines before it that have not yet been printed until this function is reset.
- an end of paper signal which has been provided in any case for a physical printer is used, the form of which is determined by the interface used.
- a single interface 31 can also be used in multiplex mode. This is shown in FIG. 1 by the addition 30, which is distributed to the two interfaces 14 and 16 via a demultiplexer 32. As a rule, the two interfaces 14, 16 are then only logical units in that the demultiplexer is integrated in the control electronics 13. In the conventional microprocessor-controlled control units 13, two interfaces can also be provided physically, one interface being used either as a single or as a multiplex interface by configuration settings.
- the synchronous HDLC protocol is particularly suitable as multiplex protocols. However, an asynchronous protocol with the control characters of the ASCII is also possible, in which the codes Sl / SO and DC1 to DC4 have a comparable function.
- VT100 for a terminal called VT100 from Digital Equipment, it is intended to activate or deactivate a printer connected to the terminal. It can then be achieved that the code for activating the printer stores the data in the journal memory until a code for deactivation appears, whereupon the data are printed out normally.
