Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printer assembly for installation in a retail scale, with a base plate which has a mounting space for a first unwinding bearing for receiving a first supply roll of a strip-shaped medium to be printed and a Assembly site for a first printing unit with a rotary drive having a transport roller and one of the transport roller opposite printhead.
  • operation mode In printing retail scales, two different modes are known in the hereinafter referred to as “operation mode” and “markup mode".
  • operation mode a sales person sets the goods purchased by a customer on the scales, and it will be a log of the sales process, for example stating the weight, price and type of goods purchased.
  • the strip-shaped medium to be printed is an endless strip made of paper, on which this information in text mode in a given font be printed out.
  • the printed strip sections depending on the scope of the sales process have different lengths are, after completion of the printing process demolished from the endless strip and handed over to the customer.
  • the scale is used to print self-adhesive labels that are designed for Labeling of goods, in particular fruits or vegetables, glued to the goods become.
  • printing is done pixel by pixel in the graphics mode given bitmaps.
  • the strip-shaped medium to be printed is a label strip, where either the labels on a carrier strip from which they after the Printing process are liable to stick or a contiguous contiguous Form label strips from which the individual labels after printing to predetermined Separation points are separated.
  • Opposite scales that alone for the operating mode or alone for the award mode are therefore conventional for balances, which for both modes are determined, a housing with a suitable for receiving the two separate printers Installation space necessary. This necessitates different housing constructions, which also lead to deviant outer appearances of the different scales. In addition, the manufacture and installation of the two separate printers are expensive.
  • the invention is based on the object, a printer assembly of the aforementioned To create kind, particularly appropriate to the various operating needs adapted from retail scales.
  • this object is achieved in that the base plate a Assembly space for a second unwinding bearing for receiving a second supply roll of a to be printed strip-shaped medium and a mounting space for a second Printing unit with a rotary drive having a transport roller and one of Transport roller opposite printhead has.
  • the printer assembly according to the invention are therefore on a single base plate Assembly places for two printing units and two unwinding bearings provided.
  • For the Installation in retail scales with only one application mode can be on the base plate only a single printing unit and a single unwinding be mounted.
  • the retail scale equipped for both the operation mode and the markup mode should be the two corresponding assembly stations with printing units and the two corresponding assembly stations equipped with Abwickellagern.
  • On the first Abwickellager can then the first supply roll formed by a continuous paper strip to be ordered. The continuous paper strip increases from the first supply roll passed the first printing unit and passed between the transport roller and printhead and can thereby during transport through the transport roller in the Text mode to be printed.
  • the label roll required for the markup mode is placed as a second supply roll on the second unwinding. From there, the Label strips passed to the second printing unit and between the printhead and whose transport roller passed. In this way, the labels can during their transport through the transport roller from the opposite printhead in Graphic mode to be printed.
  • the retail scale is only designed for one mode, it certainly can It would be expedient to choose both designated assembly stations with printing units. If a malfunction occurs in a printing unit, the strip-shaped one used can be used Medium taken out of the faulty printing unit and into the other Printing unit are inserted, which then allows a very fast continuation of operation.
  • the base plate having a mounting space for a rotary drive having a take-up reel.
  • the with the labels provided carrier tape is after its passage through the appropriate Printing unit sharply deflected in a known manner and guided to the take-up reel, where it is wound up. At the sharp deflection dissolve in a known manner the printed labels due to their inherent rigidity from the carrier tape and can be easily removed for application on the goods.
  • the necessary implementations can be achieved between the speeds of the electric motors and the required speeds cause the drive shafts and at the same time the spatial distances between the Electric motors and driven by them transport rollers and the take-up reel in an optimal way for the space utilization on the base plate.
  • a common control electronics is provided for the two printing units.
  • the printheads are primarily around strip-shaped thermal printing heads, which are transverse to the path of the strip-shaped Media, so perpendicular to the base plate, extend. Point in this direction the thermal print heads on a number of individually controllable thermocouples, each of which generates a pixel when excited.
  • the control electronics agrees the transport movement the transport rollers and the actuation of the thermocouples of the thermal print head in known way from each other so that by the thermal print head to the bedrukkende Surface of the strip-like medium during its passage between printed on the thermal print head and the transport roller with the desired content becomes.
