Description

本発明は、用紙をカットしてレシート等を発行するレシート発行装置等の紙葉類処理装置であり、用紙切れとなった際の用紙の切れ端を回収する紙葉類処理装置および紙葉類処理装置の紙葉類回収方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus such as a receipt issuing apparatus that cuts a paper sheet and issues a receipt, etc., and a paper sheet processing apparatus and paper sheet processing for collecting a piece of paper when the paper runs out The present invention relates to a paper sheet collection method for an apparatus.

従来、レシート等の用紙に印刷してカットし発行する紙葉類処理装置が開発され製造されて使用されている。このような紙葉類処理装置においては、例えば、ＡＴＭ（Automatic Teller Machine）の領収書のプリンタ等に用いられ、ロール状に巻かれた用紙を準備し、用紙を適当な長さにカットすることでレシートを作成し、作成したレシート上に必要な印刷等をして発行している。ここで、レシートとなるロール状の用紙が用紙切れとなったことを、装置が認識して通知する技術が知られている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, paper sheet processing apparatuses that print, cut, and issue on paper such as receipts have been developed, manufactured, and used. In such a paper sheet processing apparatus, for example, it is used in an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) receipt printer, etc., to prepare paper wound in a roll and cut the paper to an appropriate length The receipt is created and printed as necessary on the created receipt. Here, a technique is known in which an apparatus recognizes and notifies that a roll-shaped sheet serving as a receipt has run out of paper.

特許文献１は、ロール紙がエンドをなったことを検出する検出部を設け、用紙がエンドとなり、印字が不可能となると、これをユーザに通知するプリンタ装置を開示している。   Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-228561 discloses a printer device that includes a detection unit that detects that the roll paper has reached the end, and notifies the user when the paper is at the end and printing is impossible.

特開平３−１３３７２号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-13372

しかし、従来技術は、ロール紙がエンドとなることを通知したとしても、このようなロール紙の最後において、レシートの長さに満たない用紙の切れ端が搬送路上に残り、これが用紙ジャムの原因となっていることに対して、何らの対策を示していない。   However, even if the prior art notifies that the roll paper is the end, at the end of such roll paper, a piece of paper that is less than the length of the receipt remains on the conveyance path, which is the cause of paper jam. It does not show any countermeasures against this.

すなわち、用紙切れとなって残された用紙がプリンタ内にあるかどうかが保守要員に分からず、プリンタ内に用紙の切れ端が残っていることに気づかずに新しい用紙を給紙し、プリンタ内でジャムが発生する場合がある。また、印字未完了の場合に用紙切れと検出された場合に、用紙の切れ端がプリンタ内に残されたままであり、場合によっては、紙葉類処理装置の用紙排出口から用紙の切れ端の上端が飛び出し、印字未完了の用紙の切れ端が紙葉類処理装置のユーザに抜き取られてしまうという不具合が生じる場合がある。   That is, the maintenance staff does not know if there is any remaining paper in the printer, and feeds new paper without noticing that a piece of paper remains in the printer. Jam may occur. In addition, when it is detected that the paper is out when printing is not completed, the piece of paper remains in the printer, and in some cases, the upper end of the piece of paper from the paper discharge port of the paper sheet processing apparatus There may be a problem in that a user of the paper sheet processing apparatus may pull out a piece of paper that has jumped out and has not been printed.

本発明は、用紙切れの際の用紙の切れ端を回収することで、動作信頼性を確保することができる紙葉類処理装置および紙葉類処理装置の紙葉類回収方法を提供することを目的とする。   It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet collecting method for a paper sheet processing apparatus that can ensure operation reliability by collecting a piece of paper at the time of running out of paper. And

以下、この発明の実施の形態である紙葉類処理装置について、レシート発行装置を例にとって図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
本発明に係る一実施形態である紙葉類処理装置の一例であるレシート発行装置は、図１に示すように、ロールレシート用紙１１と、用紙を検出するための用紙検出用反射型フォトセンサ１２と、用紙を搬送するための用紙搬送用モータ１３と、用紙の裏面のレシートに印字を行うための裏面用印字プラテン１４と、用紙の裏面のレシートに印字を行うための裏面用サーマルヘッド１５と、用紙の表面に印字を行うための表面用サーマルヘッド１７と、用紙の表面に印字を行うための表面用印字プラテン１８と、用紙をカットするためのカッター１９と、カッター１９を駆動するためのカッター用モータ２０と、レシートを排出するための用紙排出口２１と、用紙の切れ端を回収するための回収庫を有している。 Hereinafter, a paper sheet processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, taking a receipt issuing apparatus as an example.
As shown in FIG. 1, a receipt issuing apparatus as an example of a paper sheet processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a roll receipt paper 11 and a reflective photosensor 12 for detecting a paper for detecting the paper. A sheet conveying motor 13 for conveying the sheet, a back surface printing platen 14 for printing on the receipt on the back surface of the sheet, and a thermal head 15 for the back surface for printing on the receipt on the back surface of the sheet, A front thermal head 17 for printing on the surface of the paper, a front printing platen 18 for printing on the paper surface, a cutter 19 for cutting the paper, and a drive for driving the cutter 19 It has a cutter motor 20, a paper discharge port 21 for discharging receipts, and a collection box for collecting pieces of paper.

また、本発明に係る一実施形態であるレシート発行装置１は、図２に示すように、電気的構成として、全体の動作を制御するＣＰＵ３１と、動作プログラム等を格納するＲＯＭ３２と、動作プログラム等や制御情報を格納するＲＡＭ３３と、動作プログラム等や制御情報を格納するＥＥＰＲＯＭ３４と、センサからの検出信号をデジタル信号化するためのＡＤコンバータ３５と、用紙搬送用モータ１３を駆動するモータドライバ３６と、表面用サーマルヘッド１７および裏面用サーマルヘッド１５を駆動するサーマルヘッドドライバ３７と、カッター用モータ２０を駆動するモータドライバ３８と、用紙検出用反射型フォトセンサ１２と、外部のホストコンピュータＨ等と通信を行なう通知部３９を有する。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a receipt issuing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention has, as an electrical configuration, a CPU 31 that controls the entire operation, a ROM 32 that stores an operation program, an operation program, and the like. A RAM 33 for storing control information, an EEPROM 34 for storing operation programs and control information, an AD converter 35 for converting a detection signal from the sensor into a digital signal, and a motor driver 36 for driving the paper transport motor 13 A thermal head driver 37 that drives the thermal head 17 for the front surface and the thermal head 15 for the back surface, a motor driver 38 that drives the motor 20 for the cutter, a reflective photosensor 12 for paper detection, an external host computer H, etc. It has the notification part 39 which performs communication.

このようなレシート発行装置１は、上述したように、ロール紙の最後において、レシートの長さに満たない用紙の切れ端が搬送路上に残った場合、これが用紙ジャムの原因となる場合がある。また、用紙切れとなって残された用紙Ｄがプリンタ内にあるかどうかが保守要員に分からず、印字未完了の場合に用紙切れと検出された場合に、図３に示すようレシート発行装置から用紙の切れ端の上端が飛び出し、印字未完了の用紙の切れ端がユーザに抜き取られてしまうという不具合が生じる場合がある。   As described above, such a receipt issuing device 1 may cause a paper jam when a piece of paper less than the length of the receipt remains on the transport path at the end of the roll paper. In addition, if the maintenance staff does not know whether or not the remaining paper D is in the printer, and if it is detected that the paper is out when printing has not been completed, the receipt issuing device as shown in FIG. There may be a problem that the upper end of a piece of paper pops out and the user cuts out a piece of paper that has not been printed.

このような不具合を回避するべく、以下に、図６のフローチャートを用いて、本発明に係る一実施形態であるレシート発行装置の回収処理の一例を以下に説明する。初めに、制御部であるＣＰＵ３１は、例えば用紙検出用反射型フォトセンサ１２からの検出信号を観測し、ロールレシート用紙１１の用紙切れを検出した場合（ステップＳ１１）、用紙検出用反射型フォトセンサ１２からの検出信号に基づいて、最後の用紙である用紙の大きさを判断し、用紙に対し必要な情報が全て記載可能かを判断する。   In order to avoid such a problem, an example of a collection process of a receipt issuing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to a flowchart of FIG. First, the CPU 31 serving as the control unit observes a detection signal from, for example, a reflection photosensor 12 for detecting paper and detects that the roll receipt paper 11 is out of paper (step S11). Based on the detection signal from 12, the size of the last sheet is determined, and it is determined whether all necessary information can be written on the sheet.

用紙検出用反射フォトセンサ１２によって用紙切れを検出すると、ＣＰＵ１３は残りの印字可能領域に必要な情報が全て記載可能かを判断する（ステップＳ１２）。そして、ＣＰＵ１３は、記載可能であると判断した場合は通常の印刷処理を行うが（ステップＳ１８）、記載ができないと判断した場合、印刷のために十分な大きさがないものとして回収すべきであると判断する（ステップＳ１２）。そして、制御部であるＣＰＵ３１は、モータドライバ３６により用紙搬送用モータ１３を駆動して、図４に示すように、用紙の切れ端を用紙の進行方向と逆方向に移動する（ステップＳ１３）。そして、制御部であるＣＰＵ３１は、図５に示すように、モータドライバ３６により用紙搬送用モータ１３を駆動することで、搬送路Ｒにより用紙の切れ端を回収庫２２に回収するものである（ステップＳ１４）。   When the paper detection reflective photosensor 12 detects that the paper is out, the CPU 13 determines whether all necessary information can be written in the remaining printable area (step S12). If the CPU 13 determines that the description is possible, the CPU 13 performs a normal printing process (step S18). If the CPU 13 determines that the description is not possible, the CPU 13 should collect it as not having sufficient size for printing. It is determined that there is (step S12). Then, the CPU 31 as the control unit drives the paper transport motor 13 by the motor driver 36 and moves the piece of paper in the direction opposite to the paper traveling direction as shown in FIG. 4 (step S13). Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 31 as the control unit drives the paper transport motor 13 by the motor driver 36, and collects a piece of paper in the collection box 22 through the transport path R (Step S 31). S14).

ここで、ステップＳ１２の残りの用紙の印字可能領域に必要な情報が全て記載可能かの判断は必ずしも必要ではなく、用紙切れを検出したら直ちに、搬送路Ｒにより用紙の切れ端を回収庫２２に回収することも可能である。また、必ずしも回収庫２２を用意しなくとも、用紙の切れ端を単に給紙開始位置まで退避させるだけでもよい。   Here, it is not always necessary to determine whether all necessary information can be described in the printable area of the remaining paper in step S12. As soon as paper out is detected, a piece of paper is collected in the collection container 22 by the transport path R. It is also possible to do. Further, it is not always necessary to prepare the collection box 22, and it is also possible to simply retreat a piece of paper to the paper feed start position.

次に、制御部であるＣＰＵ３１は、通知部３９を介して、例えば、外部に設けられたホストコンピュータＨ等に、新たな用紙の補填を促す旨の通知をする（ステップＳ１５）。制御部であるＣＰＵ３１は、新たな用紙が補填されたことを検出すると（ステップＳ１６）、図示しない操作画面等にスタンバイの表示をしたりホストコンピュータＨ等にスタンバイの通知を行う（ステップＳ１７）。   Next, the CPU 31 serving as the control unit notifies the host computer H provided outside via the notification unit 39, for example, to prompt the user to supplement a new sheet (step S15). When the CPU 31 serving as the control unit detects that a new sheet has been replenished (step S16), it displays a standby on an operation screen (not shown) or notifies the host computer H or the like of the standby (step S17).

以上のように、本発明の一実施形態に係るレシート発行装置によれば、用紙切れが発生した場合、印字未完了の用紙がユーザの目に触れてユーザが用紙を抜き取らぬよう、また、用紙の先端がプリンタ外部に飛び出さないように、搬送路を逆方向に動かして用紙の切れ端を退避させる。これにより、印字未完了の用紙の切れ端の先端がプリンタから飛び出している時間は僅かとなり、印字未完了の用紙がユーザの目に触れてユーザが用紙を抜き取られる可能性を低減させることが効能となる。また、用紙の切れ端を回収することで、新しいロールレシート用紙を補給した後もジャムなどの不具合を生じることがない。   As described above, according to the receipt issuing device according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the paper runs out, the unprinted paper touches the user's eyes and the user does not remove the paper. In order to prevent the leading edge of the paper from jumping out of the printer, the conveying path is moved in the reverse direction to retract the piece of paper. As a result, the time during which the leading edge of a piece of unprinted paper protrudes from the printer is short, and it is effective to reduce the possibility that the user will touch the unfinished paper and pull out the paper. Become. In addition, by collecting pieces of paper, there is no problem such as jamming after a new roll receipt paper is replenished.

また、回収庫２２は、図７に示すように、用紙検出用反射型フォトセンサ１２の用紙搬送下流側に設けることにより、回収庫２２への回収の際に用紙が用紙搬送路上を逆走するようなことが発生しない経路を設定することとなり、その結果、より用紙詰まりが発生しにくくなる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the collection box 22 is provided on the downstream side of the sheet conveyance of the reflection photosensor 12 for sheet detection, so that the sheet runs backward on the sheet conveyance path when collecting to the collection box 22. A route in which such a situation does not occur is set, and as a result, paper jam is less likely to occur.

以上、上述した実施形態においては、レシート発行装置等の紙葉類処理装置につき、レシート等の用紙が無くなった際に、搬送路上に残った用紙の切れ端を回収庫等に回収することで、用紙ジャム等を回避して、レシート発行装置の動作信頼性を確保することができる。   As described above, in the above-described embodiment, when a paper sheet processing apparatus such as a receipt issuing apparatus runs out of paper such as a receipt, a piece of paper remaining on the conveyance path is collected in a collection box or the like, thereby collecting the paper. The operation reliability of the receipt issuing device can be ensured by avoiding a jam or the like.
