Transfer to 9. Recording heads 408, 409, 410, 4
11, 418 and 419 eject ink by a drive signal corresponding to print data.

The function of the host computer will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 5 shows the contents of the address book database. The contents of the address book database can be created and edited (set) by well-known table study software or software attached to postcard printing software or card making software. For example, it is possible to continuously print the front surface of the card shown in FIG. 6 while changing the zip code 500, the address 501, the name 502, and the like. More specifically, the character image to be printed based on the personal information described in the database is O
Generated by S (operating system). The item, back type 503, manages the type and content of the back design (image printed on the back) in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 corresponding to each surface by a number (identification information of the present invention). This corresponds to the front-back matching pattern 504 (the identification image of the present invention). That is, the host computer automatically generates the front-back matching pattern 504 from the back-side type 503 of the database, and adds the same to the front-side design of the image of personal information (character image such as zip code, address, name, etc.) in FIG.

The image for the front / back coincidence pattern is stored in advance in the hard disk in the host computer in correspondence with the backside type. At the time of printing, after converting the image to be printed on the front side, in this case, the personal information described in the address book into a character image, in memory, the character image and the front and back matching pattern corresponding to the back side type are combined and printed. Create a surface image of The created surface image is sent to a printer and printed on paper.

In this embodiment, the front and back images are printed on a plurality of sheets in accordance with the order of the personal information in the address book. Therefore, the identification information and the images to be printed on the front and back sides are associated with each other in the printing order. ing.

The host computer creates (generates) an image to be printed on the front and back sides using the card creation software or the postcard printing software. In addition, the print position and size of the image can be edited before printing. Since these processes (printing of the front-back coincidence pattern is new) are well known, detailed description will be omitted.

FIG. 10 shows a processing procedure for back side printing (executed by the host computer).

In FIG. 6, near the entrance of the main body, the front and back matching pattern 504 printed at the time of front side printing is read by a scanner (step S10), and the type content indicated by the front and back matching pattern is identified (step 10). The type of the front-back matching pattern read and identified is compared with the back-side type indicated in the address book database to be printed, and if they match, printing is performed by the process described with reference to FIG.
20 → S30), if they do not match, the head drive circuit 420
Performs only conveyance without driving (Steps S20 → S4)
0). By repeating this continuously (loop processing of steps S10 to S40), printing is performed continuously while preventing printing of an incorrect back pattern.

(Second Embodiment) This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the processing procedure executed by the host computer.

The processing procedure for back side printing will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 11, near the entrance of the main body, the front / back matching pattern 504 printed during front side printing is read by a scanner (step S100), and data matching the back side type to be printed is selected from the image memory (step S110). S130), and printing is performed by the process described with reference to FIG. 4 (step S14).
0). By repeating this continuously, printing is performed continuously while preventing printing of an incorrect back pattern (loop processing of steps S100 to S150).

(Other Embodiments) 1) In the first and second embodiments, the front and back coincidence pattern 504 is generated by the host computer.
The command may be generated inside the printer that has received the back side type 503 command. In the embodiment, the New Year's card has been described as an example. However, the present invention is effective for all devices having a plurality of back surface patterns with respect to a plurality of front surface patterns, such as a direct mail or a card used in a government office. In the embodiment, a barcode-like pattern is used as the front-back matching pattern 504. However, in addition to a visually opaque pattern such as an infrared barcode, a two-dimensional code, and a type of a reading device such as a character or braille ( Depending on the type of laser, infrared, CCD, OCR, etc., various types are possible.

2) In the above embodiment, the front side printing and the back side printing are performed by one printer. However, the printing of the front side and the printing of the back side may be separately performed by two printers. Further, two host computers may be prepared for the front side and the back side.

3) The storage location of the image to be printed on the back side is registered in the database of FIG.
It may be possible to set (edit). This mode is suitable when the back side image is created in advance and stored in the host computer.

4) In the above-described embodiment, the personal information described in the address book is printed on the paper on the front surface. However, the present invention is not limited to the address book. The image to be printed on the front surface is converted from photographs, figures, and character codes. There can be various types of images, such as images that have been created and images created by drawing commands. Also, the concept of a card referred to in the present invention includes any form of a document such as a postcard.

[0065]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the identification image indicating the type of image to be printed is printed on the back surface, the type content indicated by the identification image is printed. , The back side image can be reliably printed even if the order of the front side printed paper is incorrect.

Further, by collating with the identification information indicating the printing order of the back side image, it is possible to further prevent printing errors. For this reason, the user needs to pay attention to the order in which the front-side printed sheets are set when printing the back side, and the labor involved in printing is reduced.
