Next, a first embodiment of the cut sheet packaging member will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cut paper packaging member 50 of the present embodiment is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape by corrugated cardboard (other thick paper, hard paper, etc.) in order to wrap a plurality of cut papers 1 in a stacked state. In the cut sheet packaging member 50, a separation line 53 is formed to divide the inside of the cut sheet 1 into a lid side 51 and a main body side 52. The separation line 53 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cut sheet packaging member 50. The separation line 53 is formed by a perforation so that it can be easily divided into the lid side 51 and the main body side 52.

On one surface 54 of the main body 52, a cut sheet insertion arrow 56 and cut sheet information 57 relating to the cut sheet 1 to be placed in the packaging member are printed. One surface 54 of the main body 52 is a surface facing the surface of the cut sheet 1 stored therein. The cut sheet insertion arrow 56 is directed from the main body side 52 to the lid side 51. The cut sheet information 57 is printed at the left end position in the direction indicated by the arrow 56 and at a position adjacent to the separation line 53.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cut sheet information 57 includes a cut sheet model number, size, paper type, thickness, number of sheets, unit price, and the like. These are indicated by a bar code together with characters indicating their contents. The reason why the characters are written together with the barcode is so that the user can visually recognize the cut sheet information. Each piece of information is arranged in the direction of the cut sheet insertion arrow, in other words, in the cut sheet insertion direction.

Next, the operation of the above-described image forming system when printing on cut paper wrapped in a cut paper wrapping member will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the user cuts the cut paper packaging member 50 along the separating line 53, and separates the lid side 51 from the main body side 52 of the cut paper packaging member 50. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the user inserts the cut paper 1 into the main body side 52 of the cut paper packaging member 50 and the cut paper 1 contained in the main body side 52 of the cut paper packaging member 50.

When the main body side 52 is placed on the paper feed tray 43, the main body side 52 slides on the paper feed tray 43, and the leading end portion of the main body side 52 and the cut sheet 1 exposed from the main body side 52 enter the paper feed port 42. Get into it. In this process, the cut sheet information 57 attached to the main body 52 is read by the barcode reader 46 in the paper feed port 42. In addition, cut paper information 57 is attached to the fixed guide 45 side of the main body 52 in a state where the cut paper 1 is inserted into the paper feed port 42, and a barcode reader 46 is provided on the fixed guide 45 side in the paper feed port 42. The reason is that even if the size of the cut sheet changes, the distance of the cut sheet information 57 from the fixing guide 45 does not change, and the bar code reader 4 fixed to a specific location does not change.
This is because it can be read with the number 6.

When a bar code is read by the bar code reader 46, it is necessary to relatively move the bar code reader 46 in the direction in which the bar codes are arranged. In the present embodiment, since the barcodes representing the cut sheet information 57 are arranged in the cut sheet insertion direction, the main body side 52 of the cut sheet packaging member 50 can be connected to the sheet feed port without moving the barcode reader 46. In the process of inserting the cut sheet information, a bar code representing the cut sheet information can be read.

The present invention is not limited to the bar codes representing the cut sheet information being arranged in the cut sheet inserting direction. For example, the bar codes are perpendicular to the cut sheet inserting direction. They may be arranged in a direction. In this case, the bar code reader is relatively moved in the direction in which the bar codes are arranged.

Mistakes can be prevented. The various cut sheet information may be displayed on the monitor 37 (shown in FIG. 1) of the printer 30.

When a printer that cannot acquire cut sheet information is used, even if the printer host 10 requests the printer for cut sheet information, the printer cannot respond to the request. Therefore, in this embodiment,
As in the general example described above, a function that allows the user to select various types of cut sheet information is left, and when cut sheet information is transmitted from the printer, this cut sheet information is displayed with priority. .

Although only the paper type and paper size among the plurality of cut paper information are displayed here, all the cut paper information acquired by the printer 30, that is, the size and paper type, as well as the model number , Thickness, number of sheets, unit price, etc. may be displayed. Conversely, when the cut sheet information can be obtained from the printer 30, only the setting of the cut sheet information may be performed, and the cut sheet information may not be displayed. However, it is preferable to display the unit price. When this unit price is displayed, the total printing cost obtained from the number of prints may be displayed together.

In the cut sheet information, the thickness of the cut sheet is
For example, it is used for correcting the moving speed of the print head of the printer 30, and the number of sheets is used for grasping the remaining number of cut sheets.

In the present embodiment, the cut paper 1 is placed on the paper feed tray 43 in a state where a plurality of cut papers 1 are contained in the main body side 52 of the cut paper packaging member 50.
