  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the label format file 312. A plurality of label format files 312 are stored in the HDD 307. Each label format file 312 includes a label format 312a that defines a print layout of print data to be printed on the RFID label 252 (FIG. 2A). The label format 312a includes data 312d including an attribute 312b indicating the contents of the label format 312a and an attribute value 312c. A black square shown in FIG. 2 is an argument 312e. The argument 312e is a value that the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 can change by applying the input print data to the label format 312a. For example, the label format 312a “text 1” shown in FIG. 2 is used when desired display text data is printed on the RFID label 252, and “display text”, “x”, “y”, “size”, etc. Of these, the attribute 312b “display text” indicates that the data 312d is text data that can be changed by external designation. Note that the attributes 312b “x” and “y” have coordinates (x, y) corresponding to the data 312d serving as the print start position when the “display text” determined by the designation of the argument 312e is printed on the RFID label 252. ). The attribute “312b” of “size” indicates that the data 312d corresponds to the size of the display text when the “display text” determined by the designation of the argument 312e is printed on the RFID label 252. In the label format 312a of “text 1” configured by including such data 312d, the microcomputer 301 converts the display text data designated as the argument 312e into the coordinates (x = X1, y = Y1) is used when executing the process of writing with size = S1.

  The various label formats 312a constituting the label format file 312 including the “text 1” correspond to the parts printed on the RFID label 252 (FIG. 2B).

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the label issuing system 101.

  In the label issuing system 101 having the above-described configuration, the RFID label 252 in which print data is printed and data is written to the RFID tag 253 is printed and issued. In this label issuing system 101, the microcomputer 301 executes processing based on the descriptions of the user application 314 and the label issuing program 315 stored in the HDD 307 as a storage unit.

  The microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 stores and holds the input print data in the RAM 305 and the HDD 307 during execution of processing based on the description of the user application 314. When the process executed by the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing apparatus 300 shifts from the process based on the user application 314 to the process based on the label issuance program 315, the stored print data is Delivered as is.

  Further, when the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing apparatus 300 shifts the processing phase from the user application 314 to the label issuing program 315, the specification information of the label format file 312 for specifying the label format file 312 to which the print data is applied is used as an argument. And the label issuing program 315 is called.

  The label issuing program 315 causes the microcomputer 301 to execute the functions described below. First, the label issuing program 315 has a function of accessing one label format file 312 designated by the user application 314 and acquiring the label format 312 a included in the label format file 312. To run. The label format file 312 is generated by the label format generator 313 and stored in the HDD 307. Second, the label issuing program 315 displays a first setting screen 501 (see FIG. 5) and a second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6) on the LCD 309, and is set by an input operation from an input device such as the keyboard 310. The microcomputer 301 is caused to execute a function of applying the set item to a predetermined RFID object. An RFID object described as a method in the label issuing program 315 is used. When the RFID object is included in the label format file 312, the setting items set by the input operation are applied to the RFID object included in the label format file 312. Third, when issuing the RFID label 252, the label issuing program 315 acquires the input print data for each RFID label 252, generates a format command, a data command, and an RFID command. The microcomputer 301 is caused to execute a function of transmitting these commands to the RFID label printer 200 and causing the RFID label printer 200 to issue a label. The format command is a control command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to define a print layout based on the label format 312 a acquired from the label format file 312. The data command is a control command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to print the acquired print data on the RFID label 252. The RFID command is a control command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to write data to the RFID tag 253 based on the RFID object to which the input setting item is applied.

  In addition to this, the label issuing program 315 displays a status when the label issuing device 300 receives the status indicating the processing result of the label printing issuance transmitted from the RFID label printer 200, and the status indicates an error. Processing contents for causing the microcomputer 301 to execute a function of displaying an error on the LCD 309 as a unit are included. Further, the status received by the label issuing device 300 is stored and held in the RAM 305 or the HDD 307 and is also transferred to the user application 314.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300. When the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 executes the process described in the user application 314 and there is a description to execute the label issuance, the label issuing program 315 is called and the processing phase is set to the user. Transfer from the application 314 to the label issuing program 315. The label issuing program 315 includes methods for executing the steps shown in FIG. 4, and the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 executes the processing of each step shown in FIG. 4 by calling each method. To do. At this time, the print data needs to be stored in the RAM 305 or the HDD 307. Further, when calling the label issuing program 315 in the user application 314, specific information for specifying the label format file 312 to which the print data is to be applied needs to be designated in the user application 314 by means such as argument designation. is there.

  When the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 moves the processing phase to the label issuing program 315, it first opens a communication port to start data communication with the RFID label printer 200, and performs RFID labeling to issue a label. Preparations for data communication with the printer 200 are made (step S101).

  As a subsequent process, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 acquires the label format 312a from the desired label format file based on the specified information of the label format file 312 (step S102). If the RFID object is included in the label format file 312, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 also acquires the RFID object included in the label format file 312 in step S102.

  As a subsequent process, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 executes a process for setting a setting item to be applied to the RFID object in order to generate an RFID command (step S103). In step S <b> 103, the microcomputer 301 displays a setting screen for setting setting items applied to the RFID object on the LCD 309 in accordance with the description of the label issuing program 315. More specifically, the microcomputer 301 uses the first setting screen 501 (in order to support the setting item setting operation applied to the RFID object performed by the operator of the label issuing device 300 in accordance with the description contents of the label issuing program 315. 5) and a second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6) are displayed on the LCD 309.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the first setting screen 501. The first setting screen 501 includes a method selection unit 502 for determining a method for issuing label printing of the RFID label 252, a switching button 503 for switching to the second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6), And a completion button 504 for designating the completion of the setting item setting operation.

  The method selection unit 502 includes a message “RFID object information” and a plurality of selection buttons for selecting one of three options “label format”, “setting”, and “temporary change”. . The user of the label issuing device 300 selects one of the three methods shown in the method selection unit 502 from the first setting screen 501 displayed on the LCD 309.

  The “label format” is a method for printing and issuing a label by causing the RFID label 252 to print the result of applying the input print data to the print layout defined by the label format file 312. Here, when the RFID object is included in the label format file 312 and the RFID object included in the label format file 312 is acquired in the processing in step S102, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing apparatus 300 acquires the acquired RFID. Generate an RFID command based on the object.

  “Setting” prints on the RFID label 252 as in the case of “label format”, and when the RFID object is not included in the label format file 312, the second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6) is displayed on the RFID tag 253. The RFID data set in (1) is written and a label is printed and issued. When the label format file 312 includes an RFID object, this “setting” is grayed out and cannot be selected.

  “Temporary change” prints on the RFID label 252 as in the case of the “label format”, and when there is an RFID object in the label format file 312, the contents of the RFID object are temporarily displayed on the second setting screen 601 (FIG. 6), the setting item is changed to the setting item set in the second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6), the RFID data set in the RFID tag 253 is written, and the label is printed and issued. If the RFID object is not included in the label format file 312, this option “temporary change” is grayed out and cannot be selected.

  The switch button 503 is a button icon displayed as “RFID object information”. Selection can be made while “setting” or “temporary change” is selected from the options of the method selection unit 502. When the switch button 503 is selected and designated by the keyboard 310 or a pointing device while the switch button 503 is enabled, a second setting screen 601 (see FIG. 6) is displayed on the LCD 309. The second setting screen 601 will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, when “label format” is selected from the options of the method selection unit 502, the switch button 503 is grayed out and cannot be selected.

  The completion button 504 is a button icon displayed as “OK”. When the completion button 504 is selected and designated, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 ends the process shown in step S103 and advances the process to step S104.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the second setting screen 601. When the completion button 504 is selected and specified in a state where “setting” or “temporary change” is selected from the method selection unit 502 on the first setting screen 501 (see FIG. 5), the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 A second setting screen 601 is displayed on the LCD 309. The LCD 309 has an input box 602 for inputting RFDI data written to the RFID tag 253, an OK button 603 for confirming the contents of the setting items set on the second setting screen 601, and a setting on the second setting screen 601. A cancel button 604 for discarding the contents of the set item, an RFID format designation unit 605 for designating a product standard of the RFID tag 253, a logical format for writing data to the RFID tag 253, various write options, and the like. A module specification unit 606 for simply calling the setting of the RFID format specification unit 605 is included. Of these, the input box 602 is particularly important. When the OK button 603 is selected and specified in the state in which the RFID data is input to the input box 602, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 displays the contents of the input RFID data and the contents of the input RFID data. The setting items set by the RFID format specifying unit 605 are stored and held, and the first setting screen 501 (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the LCD 309. On the other hand, when the cancel button 604 is selected and designated even when the RFID data is input to the input box 602, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 specifies the content of the input RFID data and the RFID format. The first setting screen 501 is displayed without storing and holding the setting items set in the unit 605.

  Returning to the description based on FIG. As processing subsequent to step S103, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 reads print data for one RFID label 252 from print data stored in the RAM 305 or the HDD 307 (step S104). As an example, the print data is stored in the RAM 305 and the HDD 307 by being divided into records set to correspond to the individual RFID labels 252. In step S104, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 reads print data for one record. When there is print data to be printed on the RFID label 252 and the print data can be acquired in step S104 (Y in step S105), the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 generates a format command, a data command, and an RFID command. (Step S106). More specifically, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 generates a format command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to define a print layout based on the label format 312a. In addition, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 generates a data command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to print on the RFID label 252. Further, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 generates an RFID command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to write to the RFID tag 253 using the RFID object to which the setting item set in the process shown in step S103 is applied. To do. When the method “setting” is selected by the method selection unit 502 of the first setting screen 501 in step S103, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 performs various settings set by the RFID format designation unit 605 of the second setting screen 601. An RFID command for controlling the RFID label printer 200 to write data to the RFID tag 253 by applying the setting item and the input box 602 to the RFID object described in the label issuing program 315 is generated. On the other hand, when the method “temporary change” is selected by the method selection unit 502 of the first setting screen 501 in step S103, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 performs the processing for the RFID object included in the label format file 312. By applying various setting items set on the second setting screen 601 and the input RFID data, the content of the RFID object is changed, and an RFID command based on the content set on the second setting screen 601 is generated.

  When the method “label format” is selected by the method selection unit 502 of the first setting screen 501 in step S103, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 executes the label format file 312 when executing the processing in step S106. If the RFID object is not included in the RFID format, no RFID command is generated. If the RFID object is included in the label format file 312, an RFID command based on the RFID object is generated.

  As a subsequent process, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 transmits the format command, the data command, and the RFID command generated in step S105 to the RFID label printer 200, and transmits the label issuing command together with these to issue the RFID label. The printer 200 is caused to issue a label (step S107).

  As a subsequent process, the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 waits for reception of a status indicating the printing issue result of the RFID label 252 transmitted from the RFID label printer 200 (step S108). When the status transmitted from the RFID label printer 200 is received (Y in step S108), the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 determines whether or not the received status indicates that an error has occurred in the label printing issuance. Only when it is determined that there is an error (Y in step S109), an error is displayed on the LCD 309 to indicate that an error has occurred in the process of printing and issuing the RFID label 252. The user is notified (step S110), and the process returns to step S104. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S109 that there is no error (N in step S109), the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 returns the process to step S104 without executing the process shown in step S110.

  Regarding the determination in step S105, if there is no print data to be printed on the RFID label 252 and the print data cannot be acquired in step S104 (N in step S105), the microcomputer 301 of the label issuing device 300 sets the communication port. The process is closed to end the data communication with the RFID label printer 200 (step S111), and the program control is transferred to the user application 314, whereby the process according to the label issuing program 315 is ended.

  As described above, the RFID label printer 200 according to the present embodiment performs the data writing to the RFID tag 253 by the process executed in accordance with the description of the label issuing program 315 stored in the HDD 307 as a storage unit. An RFID command for controlling 200 is generated and transmitted to the RFID label printer 200. The RFID label printer 200 performs processing according to the RFID command and issues a label. The RFID label 252 can be issued by writing and printing RFID data.

  The process shown in step S103 of FIG. 4 is executed in the label issuing program 315 called from the user application 314. As another embodiment, the process is linked with the label issuing program 315 during the execution of the user application 314.
