Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a load on an operator, raise an operation rate, and eliminate waste of printing materials.SOLUTION: In a presetting device 200, an allowable range of characteristics of a sheet of printing paper to be used for a next printing job is obtained from a characteristic (e.g. paper thickness) of the sheet of printing paper to be used for a next printing job and an allowance (e.g. paper thickness allowance) set to the characteristic to confirm whether or not preset data corresponding the characteristic of the sheet of printing paper within the allowable range are stored in a memory. When it is confirmed that the preset data corresponding to the characteristic of the sheet of printing paper within the allowable range are stored in the memory, characteristics of the sheet of printing paper associated with the confirmed preset data are displayed on a display in the order of smaller differences (e.g. an order of smaller differences in paper thickness) to make an operator select the desired characteristic out of the characteristics of the printing paper associated with the preset data.

Description

  The present invention relates to a printer presetting apparatus and method for presetting the state of each unit in a printing press in accordance with the characteristics of the printing paper.

  Conventionally, as a printer presetting device that presets the state of each part in the printing press according to the characteristics of the printing paper, presetting for presetting the amount of air supplied to the paper feeding unit of the printing press according to the characteristics of the printing paper A device has been proposed.

  For example, in the preset device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the print paper type, paper size, paper eye, and the like are used as the paper quality data (features) of the print paper, and according to the features of the print paper used in the next print job. The preset amount (preset data) is read from the preset setting table, and the read preset data is set as the air supply amount to the sheet feeding unit.

JP 2001-80750 A

  However, in the preset device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when preset data is stored in the preset setting table in association with the characteristics of the print paper used in the past print job, it is used in the past print job. The preset data can be read from the preset setting table only when there is exactly the same characteristics as the printed paper.

  For this reason, if there is nothing exactly the same as the print paper used in the previous print job, the print paper used in the next print job will be similar to the print paper used in the previous print job. Even in this case, the operator must manually adjust the air supply amount to the paper feed unit from the beginning. It takes a burden on the operator and takes time to adjust. In order to confirm whether or not, “adjustment → trial printing → adjustment → trial printing” has to be repeated, and there is a problem that printing materials are wasted.

  Usually, standard size sheets such as chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum printed on a printing press are produced by cutting a strip of paper with a larger width created by a paper machine. Due to cutting errors, even with the same standard size printing paper, the vertical and horizontal dimensions are actually different, and the thickness and weighing are often different due to the unevenness of the paper produced by the paper machine. When the thickness, top and bottom dimensions, and horizontal dimensions are input as the characteristics of the printing paper, it often happens that there is no printing paper data of the same thickness and dimensions, and the above problems frequently occur. End up.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and the object of the present invention is to reduce the burden on the operator, increase the operating rate, and eliminate the waste of printing materials. It is an object of the present invention to provide a machine presetting apparatus and method.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention relates to the characteristics of the printing paper used in the past print job in the presetting device of the printing machine that presets the state of each part in the printing machine according to the characteristics of the printing paper. The preset data storage means for storing the adjustment values of the state of each part of the printing press at the time of actual printing using the printing paper in the memory as preset data, and the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job and the characteristics thereof The allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job is obtained from the allowable value set for the next print job, and whether or not preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range is stored in the memory. Preset data confirmation means for confirming is provided.

  According to the present invention, the allowable range of the characteristics of the print paper used in the next print job is obtained from the characteristics of the print paper used in the next print job and the allowable values set for the characteristics. It is checked whether preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the range is stored in the memory. For example, if the characteristic of the printing paper used in the next print job is thickness, the allowable range of the thickness of the printing paper used in the next printing job is obtained, and the preset corresponding to the thickness of the printing paper that falls within this allowable range It is checked whether data is stored in the memory.

  In other words, in the present invention, it is confirmed whether or not preset data corresponding to the print paper having the characteristics allowed for the print paper characteristics used in the next print job is stored in the memory. This confirmed preset data is a candidate for preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job. By selecting desired preset data from these candidates and using it as actual preset data, It is not necessary to manually adjust each part in the printing press.

  In the present invention, for example, when it is confirmed that the preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job is stored in the memory, The characteristics of the associated printing paper are displayed. For example, the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job are compared with the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range, and the characteristics of the printing paper are displayed in ascending order of the difference. When a desired print paper feature is selected from the displayed print paper features, the preset data stored in the memory is read in association with the selected print paper feature. Using the read preset data, the state of each unit in the printing press is preset.

  According to the present invention, the allowable range of the characteristic of the print paper used in the next print job is obtained from the characteristic of the print paper used in the next print job and the allowable value set for the characteristic, and the allowable range. Since it is confirmed whether or not preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the memory is stored in the memory, the preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the confirmed allowable range is selected. By selecting preset data and using it as actual preset data, it is not necessary to manually adjust the state of each part in the printing press, reducing the burden on the operator, increasing the operating rate, and printing. It is possible to eliminate waste of materials.

[Operation of preset device]
Hereinafter, processing operations executed by the CPU 201 of the preset device 200 will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 9 to 45.

  When starting the operation of the preset device 200, the CPU 201 first sets the count value DN of the memory M1 to 0 (step S101). That is, when the preset device 200 is used for the first time in the printing system shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the next print job is the first print job, and the count value DN starts from 0.

[Enter the characteristics of printing paper to be used in the next print job (first print job) and the allowable values for the characteristics]
When printing using the printing press 100, the operator inputs the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job and allowable values for the characteristics to the preset device 200.

  In this case, as a characteristic of the print paper used in the next print job, the type of the print paper used in the next print job is input from the paper type setting unit 236, and the next printing is performed from the paper eye direction setting unit 237. The direction of the paper of the printing paper used in the job is input, the paper thickness of the printing paper used in the next printing job is input from the paper thickness setting unit 238, and the next printing is performed from the paper vertical direction size setting unit 239. The vertical size of the printing paper used in the job is input, and the horizontal size of the printing paper used in the next printing job is input from the paper horizontal size setting unit 240.

  In addition, as an allowable value for the characteristics of the print paper used in the next print job, an allowable value of the paper thickness of the print paper used in the next print job is input from the paper thickness allowable value setting unit 233, and the vertical size allowable value The allowable value of the vertical size of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the setting device 234, and the allowable value of the horizontal size of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the horizontal size allowable value setting device 235. input.

  When the allowable value of the paper thickness of the print paper used in the next print job is input from the paper thickness allowable value setting unit 233 (YES in step S102), the CPU 201 prints the print paper used in the input next print job. Is stored in the memory M2 as α (step S103). Further, when an allowable value of the vertical direction size of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the vertical direction size allowable value setting unit 234 (YES in step S104), the print used in the input next print job. The allowable value of the vertical size of the paper is stored in the memory M3 as β (step S105). Further, when an allowable value for the horizontal size of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the horizontal size allowable value setting unit 235 (YES in step S106), the print used in the input next print job is used. The allowable value of the horizontal size of the paper is stored in the memory M4 as γ (step S107).

  When the type of print paper used in the next print job is input from the paper type setting unit 236 (YES in step S108), the CPU 201 sets the type of print paper used in the input next print job. The data is stored in the memory M5 (step S109). When the paper eye direction of the printing paper to be used in the next print job is input from the paper eye direction setting unit 237 (YES in step S110: FIG. 10), it is used in the input next print job. The direction of the printing paper to be printed is stored in the memory M6 (step S111).

  Further, when the paper thickness of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the paper thickness setting unit 238 (YES in step S112), the CPU 201 determines the paper thickness of the printing paper used in the input next printing job. Is stored in the memory M7 as t (step S113). When the top / bottom direction size of the print paper used in the next print job is input from the paper top / bottom direction size setting unit 239 (YES in step S114), the top / bottom of the print paper used in the input next print job is input. The direction size is stored as L in the memory M8 (step S115). When the horizontal size of the printing paper used in the next print job is input from the paper horizontal size setting unit 240 (YES in step S116), the left and right printing paper used in the next print job is input. The direction size is stored as W in the memory M9 (step S117).

  The operator inputs the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job and the allowable values for the characteristics, and then turns on the preset switch 204. Then, the CPU 201 confirms that the preset switch 204 is turned on (YES in step S118), reads the count value DN in the memory M1 (step S119), and checks whether the count value DN is 0 (step S119). S120). In this case, the count value DN in the memory M1 is set to 0 in step S101. Therefore, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S239 (FIG. 26) in response to YES in step S120.

[Manual adjustment of the status of each part in the printing press]
In step S239, the CPU 201 sends a print start command to the printing press 100.

If the paper thickness t _N is equal to or smaller than the allowable maximum paper thickness (t + α) (YES in step S143), the allowable minimum paper thickness (t−α) stored in the memory M11 is read (step S144), and the paper thickness t _N Is greater than or equal to the allowable minimum paper thickness (t−α) (step S145).

If the paper thickness t _N is equal to or greater than the allowable minimum paper thickness (t−α) (YES in step S145), the vertical direction size L _N of the printing paper stored in the Nth address position of the memory 18 is read (step S1).

If the vertical direction size L _N is equal to or larger than the allowable minimum vertical direction size (L−β) (YES in step S150), the horizontal size W _N of the printing paper stored in the Nth address position of the memory 18 is read. (Step S151), the maximum allowable horizontal size (W + γ) of the printing paper stored in the memory M14 is read (Step S152), and whether the horizontal size W _N is equal to or smaller than the maximum allowable horizontal size (W + γ).

If the horizontal size W _N is equal to or smaller than the maximum allowable horizontal size (W + γ) (YES in step S153), the minimum allowable horizontal size (W−γ) of the printing paper stored in the memory M15 is read (step S154). : FIG. 15), it is checked whether or not the horizontal size W _N is equal to or larger than the allowable minimum horizontal size (W−γ) (step S155).

  Here, if any one of the determination steps of steps S137, S140, S143, S145, S148, S150, S153, and S155 is NO, the CPU 201 determines the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job. It is determined that there is no preset data in the memory M18 corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range, and the process immediately proceeds to step S158.

  In this example, it is assumed that there is no preset data in the memory M18 corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job, and the CPU 201 proceeds immediately to step S158.

  In this case, the CPU 201 sets the count value N in the memory M17 to N + 1 (step S158), reads the count value DN from the memory M1 (step S159), and compares the count value N with the count value DN (step S160). Here, the count value N is 2, the count value DN is 1, and N> DN (YES in step S160), the CPU 201 proceeds to step S161 (FIG. 16).

  In step S161, the CPU 201 reads the count value M in the memory M16. Then, it is checked whether or not the count value M is 0 (step S162). In this case, since the count value M remains 0 in the previous step S133, the CPU 201 proceeds to step S239 (FIG. 26) in response to YES in step S162.

[Manual adjustment of the status of each part in the printing press]
In step S239, the CPU 201 sends a print start command to the printing press 100. The print preparation speed is read from the memory M33 (step S240), and the print preparation speed is output to the driving motor driver 242 via the D / A converter 244 (step S241). Thereby, the operation at the printing preparation speed of the printing press 100 is started.

  Then, after manual adjustment of the state of each part in the printing press 100, the operator turns on the manual adjustment completion switch 226, turns on the print start switch 227, and performs the next print job (second printing). After the job is printed (steps S312 to S315 (FIG. 35)), the printing end switch 228 is turned on to stop the printing press 100 (steps S316 to S318 (FIG. 36)).

[Storing preset data associated with the characteristics of the printing paper used in the current print job (second print job)]
After the printing press 100 is stopped, the operator turns on the teaching switch 229. When the teaching switch 229 is turned on (YES in step S319), the CPU 201 stores the current position of the sucker suction force adjusting motor transmitted from the sucker suction force adjusting device 301 in the memory M35 in the same manner as described above. In addition, the current position of the air horizontal needle suction force adjusting motor transmitted from the air horizontal needle suction force adjusting device 302 is stored in the memory M36, and the cylinder guide transmitted from the paper guide suction force adjusting device 303 in the lower cylinder.

(FIG. 37) -331 (FIG. 38)).

  In addition, the current position of the first color plate cylinder vertical position adjustment motor transmitted from the first color plate cylinder vertical position adjustment device 305A is stored in the memory M39 in the horizontal direction of the first color plate cylinder. The current position of the left and right position adjustment motor of the first color plate cylinder transmitted from the position adjustment device 305B is stored in the memory M40, and the first color of the first color plate cylinder is transmitted from the position adjustment device 305C in the direction of the slenderness.

Is stored in the memory M42, and the current position of the second-color plate cylinder horizontal adjustment motor transmitted from the second-color plate cylinder horizontal position adjustment device 306B is stored in the memory M43. Write the current position of the motor for adjusting the twist direction of the plate cylinder of the second color transmitted from the twist direction of the position adjusting device 306C of the plate cylinder in the memory M44 (step S332 (FIG. 39) ~S349 (Figure 41))

  The CPU 201 reads the count value DN from the memory M1 (step S350), reads the maximum stored preset number (100) from the memory M45 (step S351), and determines whether the count value DN has reached the maximum stored preset number. This is checked (step S352 (FIG. 42)). In this case, the count value DN is 1, and since the maximum stored preset number has not been reached (YES in step S352), the count value N in the memory M17 is set to the count value DN (step S362). 1 is added, and the count value N in the memory M17 is set to DN + 1 (step S363). In this case, the count value N in the memory M17 is 2.

  Then, the count value N in the memory M17 is written into the memory M46 (step S364), the paper type of the printing paper used in the current print job is read from the memory M5 (step S365 (FIG. 43)), and the current time is read from the memory M6. The direction of the eyes of the printing paper used in the print job is read (step S366), the paper thickness t of the printing paper used in the current print job is read from the memory M7 (step S367), and the current print is read from the memory M8. The vertical size L of the print paper used in the job is read (step S368), the horizontal size W of the print paper used in the current print job is read from the memory M9 (step S369), and the current print job is read from the memory M35. Read the current position of the suction force adjustment motor of the sucker after the final printing of 370), the current position of the air horizontal needle suction force adjustment motor after the completion of the main printing in the current print job is read from the memory M36 (step S371), and the final printing in the current print job is completed from the memory M37. The current position of the suction force adjusting motor of the paper guide at the lower part of the cylinder is read (step S372), and the current position of the suction force adjusting motor of the suction wheel after the final printing in the current print job is read from the memory M38 (step S372). S373).

  Also, the current position of the position adjustment motor in the vertical direction of the first color plate cylinder after the main printing in the current print job is read from the memory M39 (step S374 (FIG. 44)), and the current print job is read from the memory M40. The current position of the left and right position adjustment motor for the first color plate cylinder after the main printing in step S375 is read (step S375), and the first color plate cylinder after the main printing in the current print job is read from the memory M41. Read the current position of the position adjustment motor in the direction of fining (step S376), and read the current position of the position adjustment motor in the vertical direction of the plate cylinder of the second color after the final printing in the current print job from the memory M42 ( In step S377, the current position of the left-right position adjustment motor of the plate cylinder of the second color after the final printing in the current print job is read from the memory M43 (step S377). 378), it reads the current position of the motor for adjusting the twist direction of the plate cylinder of the second color after the printing completion at the current print job from the memory M44 (step S379).

  Then, the CPU 201 reads the current date (including time) from the internal clock 245 (step S380), reads the count value N from the memory M46 (step S381), and the Nth address position (in this case) of the memory M18. , N = 2nd address position), the information read in steps S365 to S380 is written (step S382: FIG. 45).

  That is, the type of printing paper used in the current print job read in steps S365 to S369, the paper eye direction, the paper thickness t, the paper top / bottom direction size L, and the paper left / right size W are printed this time. As the characteristics of the printing paper used in the job, the current position of the suction force adjustment motor of the sucker after the final printing in the current print job read in steps S370 to S379, the current position of the suction force adjustment motor of the air horizontal needle Position, current position of the suction force adjusting motor of the paper guide at the bottom of the cylinder, current position of the suction force adjusting motor of the suction wheel, current position of the position adjusting motor in the vertical direction of the first color plate cylinder, first color plate The current position of the left and right cylinder position adjustment motor, the current position of the first color plate cylinder in the velvet direction, the current position of the second color plate cylinder in the vertical direction, and the second color Plate cylinder The current position of the left-right position adjustment motor and the current position of the second-color plate cylinder position adjustment motor are the parts of the printing press that are used for the actual printing using the printing paper used in the current print job. As the adjustment value (preset data) of the current state, the current date read from the internal clock 245 is added and stored in association with the N = 2nd address position of the memory M18 (see FIG. 8).

  The CPU 201 reads the count value DN from the memory M1 (step S383), reads the maximum stored preset number from the memory M45 (step S384), and compares the count value DN with the maximum stored preset number (step S385). In this case, the count value DN is 1, and since the maximum stored preset number (100) has not been reached (NO in step S385), 1 is added to the count value DN in steps S386 and 387, and the count value in the memory M1 is obtained. DN is set to DN = 2, and the process returns to step S102.

  Thereafter, in the same manner as the second print job, every time it is determined that there is no preset data in the memory M18 corresponding to the feature of the print paper that falls within the allowable range of the feature of the print paper used in the next print job. Then, the operator manually adjusts the state of each part in the printing press 100, and after the main printing in the state where the manual adjustment is performed, the printing paper is associated with the characteristics of the printing paper used in the current print job. The adjustment values of the state of each part of the printing press 100 at the time of actual printing using are stored in the memory M18 as preset data.

  In this case, the CPU 201 repeats the processes of steps S135 to S160, and for all the preset data stored in the memory M18, the CPU 201 determines the print sheets that fall within the allowable range of the characteristics of the print sheet used in the next print job. Check if there is preset data corresponding to the feature. Then, it is confirmed that there is no preset data corresponding to the feature of the print sheet that falls within the allowable range of the feature of the print sheet used in the next print job, and the process proceeds to step S239.

  The count value DN in the memory M1 is incremented by 1 every time preset data is stored in the memory M18. When the count value DN reaches the maximum preset number (100) (YES in step S385). ), And immediately returns to step S102 without passing through the processing of steps S386 and S387. For this reason, the count value DN in the memory M1 maintains the maximum stored preset number after reaching the maximum stored preset number.

  When the count value DN in the memory M1 reaches the maximum stored preset number and it is confirmed in step S352 that the count value DN is equal to the maximum stored preset number, the processing in steps S353 to S361 causes The preset data is rewritten to the newest one from the oldest.

  That is, when the CPU 201 confirms that the count value DN reaches the maximum stored preset number and the count value DN is equal to the maximum stored preset number (YES in step S352), the date of the first address position in the memory M18 And the read date is written in the memory M46 together with 1 (step S353). Then, the count value N of the memory M17 is set to 2 (step S354), the date of the Nth address position of the memory M18 is read (step S355), and the date written to the memory M46 is read (step S355). ) Compare the new and old of the date of the Nth address position in the memory M18 and the date written in the memory M46 (step S357).

  If the date written in the memory M46 is older (NO in step S357), 1 is added to the count value N (step S359), and the maximum stored preset number is read from the memory M45 (step S359). S360) Until the count value N exceeds the maximum stored preset number (YES in step S361), the processes in steps S355 to 361 are repeated.

  On the other hand, if the date of the Nth address position in the memory M18 is older (YES in step S357), the date of the Nth address position in the memory M18 is written into the memory M46 together with the count value N. (Step S358), 1 is added to the count value N (Step S359), the maximum stored preset number is read from the memory M45 (Step S360), and until the count value N exceeds the maximum stored preset number (YES in Step S361), The processes in steps S355 to 361 are repeated.

  As a result, the memory M46 finally stores the count value N corresponding to the oldest date and the address location of the oldest date of the 1st to 100th address locations in the memory M18. Will be written. Therefore, in step S381, the count value N in the memory M46 is read, and preset data of the oldest date is written in the Nth address position of the memory M18 indicated by the count value N. The new preset data of this time will be written at the position.

(When preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job exists)
The CPU 201 repeats the processing of steps S135 to S160, and for all the preset data stored in the memory M18, the preset corresponding to the print paper features that fall within the allowable range of the print paper features used in the next print job. Check for the presence of data.

  Here, when the memory M18 has preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job, that is, steps S137, S140, S143, S145, S148, and S150. , S153, and S155 are all YES, the CPU 201 executes the processes of steps S156 and S157 (FIG. 15).

That is, 1 is added to the count value M in the memory M16 (step S156), and the paper thickness t _N and the count value N at the _Nth address position in the memory M18, that is, printing paper whose features are within the allowable range. The sheet thickness tN and the count value N corresponding to the address position in the memory M18 where the preset data are stored are stored in the _Mth address position of the preset data storage memory M19 within the allowable range (step S157). .

For example, when the preset data at the first, sixth, and seventh address positions in the memory M18 are preset data corresponding to print paper features that fall within the allowable range of print paper features used in the next print job, The CPU 201 stores the paper thickness t _{1 at the first} address position in the memory M18 and the count value “1” at the first address position in the memory M19, and the paper thickness t _{6 at the sixth} address position in the memory M18. The count value “6” is stored in the second address position of the memory M19, and the paper thickness t _{7 of the seventh} address position of the memory M18 and the count value “7” are stored in the third address position of the memory M19. (See FIG. 46).

  In this example, for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that there are only these three preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that fall within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job. In this case, the final count value M in the memory M19 is M = 3. The count value M indicates the number of preset data in the memory M18 corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job.

[Calculation of paper thickness difference]
When the count value N exceeds the count value DN (YES in step S160), the CPU 201 reads the count value M in the memory M19 (step S161) and confirms that the count value M is not M = 0 (step S162). No), that is, it is confirmed that the preset data corresponding to the characteristics of the printing paper that falls within the allowable range of the characteristics of the printing paper used in the next print job exists in the memory M18, and the process proceeds to step S163.

In step S163, the CPU 201 sets the count value L in the memory M20 to 1. Then, the paper thickness t ₁ at the L = 1st address position in the memory M19 is read (step S164), the paper thickness t of the printing paper used in the next print job in the memory M7 is read (step S165), and the memory M19. L = the count value N (N = 1) at the first address position is read (step S166).

Then, a paper thickness difference (t ₁ −t) is obtained by subtracting the paper thickness t of the printing paper used in the next print job from the board thickness t ₁ read from the L = 1st address position of the memory M19. The absolute value Δt ₁ = | t ₁ −t | of the paper thickness difference (t ₁ −t) is obtained, and the count value N read in step S166 at the L = 1st address position of the memory M21 for storing the paper thickness difference. = 1 is written (step S167).

Then, 1 is added to the count value L (step S168), the count value M is read (step S169), and the processing of steps S164 to S170 is repeated until the count value L exceeds the count value M (YES in step S170). . As a result, the absolute value Δt ₆ = | t ₆ −t | of the paper thickness difference (t ₆ −t) and the count value N = 6 are written in the L = 2nd address position of the memory M 21, and the L of the memory M 21 = The absolute value Δt ₇ = | t ₇ -t | of the paper thickness difference (t ₇ -t) and the count value N = 7 are written in the third address position (see FIG. 47).

In this example, as a specific example, t = 0.5, Δt ₁ = | t ₁ −t | = | 0.48−0.5 | = 0.02, and Δt ₆ = | t ₆ −t Assuming that | = | 0.47−0.5 | = 0.03, Δt ₇ = | t ₇ −t | = | 0.5−0.5 | = 0. That is, it is assumed that Δt ₇ <Δt ₁ <Δt ₆ is satisfied.

  When the count value L exceeds the count value M (YES in step S170), the CPU 201 checks whether or not the count value M is M = 1 (step S171). In this case, since the count value M is M = 3, the process proceeds to step S173 (FIG. 17) in response to NO in step S171.

  When the count value M is M = 1, that is, there is only one preset data in the memory M18 corresponding to the feature of the print paper that falls within the allowable range of the feature of the print paper used in the next print job. If not, the process proceeds to step S172 in response to YES in step S171 to read the count value N of the first address position of the memory M19 and write it to the first address position of the memory M24 for display order storage. (Step S172).

[Sort paper thickness difference (decide display order)]
In step S173, the CPU 201 sets the count value K in the memory M22 to 1. In step S174, the count value L in the memory M20 is set to 1. Then, the absolute value Δt1 and the count value N = 1 of the paper thickness difference at the first address position in the memory M21 are read, and the count value L = 1 is read and written to the minimum memory M23 for storing the paper thickness difference ( 48 (a)), the count value L is set to L = 2 (step S175). Then, the absolute value Δt6 of the paper thickness difference at the L = 2th address position in the memory M21 is read (step S176), the absolute value Δt1 of the minimum paper thickness difference is read from the memory M23 (step S177), and the two are compared. (Step S178).

In this example, since Δt ₁ <Δt ₆ , the process proceeds to step S180 in response to NO in step S178, and 1 is added to the count value L to set L = 3, and the count value M is read (step S181). The value L is compared with the count value M (M = 3). In this case, since L> M is not satisfied (NO in step S182), the process returns to step S176.

The CPU 201 reads the absolute value Δt ₇ of the paper thickness difference at the L = 3rd address position in the memory M21 (step S176), and reads the absolute value Δt ₁ of the minimum paper thickness difference from the memory M23 (step S177). Are compared (step S178). In this example, since Δt ₇ <Δt ₁ , the process proceeds to step S179 in response to YES in step S178.

In step S179, the absolute value Δt ₇ and the count value N = 7 of the paper thickness difference at the L = 3rd address position in the memory M21 are read, and the count value L = 3 is read, thereby storing the minimum paper thickness difference memory. Write to M23 (see FIG. 48B). Then, 1 is added to the count value L to set L = 4 (step S180), the count value M is read (step S181), and the count value L and the count value M (M = 3) are compared. In this case, since L> M (YES in step S182), the process proceeds to step S183 (FIG. 18).

In step S183, the CPU 201 reads the count value L = 3 from the memory M23. Then, Δt ₇ at L = third address position in the memory M21 is rewritten to the maximum value of the absolute value of the paper thickness difference (step S184, see FIG. 49A). Then, the count value K = 1 is read (step S185), the count value N = 7 is read from the memory M23, and is written in the K = 1st address position of the memory M24 for display order storage (step S186, FIG. )reference).

  Then, 1 is added to the count value K to make K = 2 (step S187), the count value M is read (step S188), and the count value K and the count value M (M = 3) are compared (step S189). . In this case, since K> M is not satisfied (NO in step S189), the process returns to step S174.

In step S174, the CPU 201 sets the count value L to 1. Then, the absolute value Δt1 and the count value N = 1 of the paper thickness difference at the first address position of the memory M21 are read, and the count value L = 1 is read and written to the minimum memory M23 for storing the paper thickness difference ( 48 (a)), the count value L is set to 2 (step S175). Then, the absolute value Δt ₆ of the paper thickness difference at the L = 2th address position in the memory M21 is read (step S176), the absolute value Δt ₁ of the minimum paper thickness difference is read from the memory M23 (step S177), Compare (step S178).

In this example, since Δt ₁ <Δt ₆ , the process proceeds to step S180 in response to NO in step S178, and 1 is added to the count value L to set L = 3, and the count value M is read (step S181). The value L is compared with the count value M (M = 3). In this case, since L> M is not satisfied (NO in step S182), the process returns to step S176.

The CPU 201 reads the maximum value, which is the absolute value of the paper thickness difference at the L = third address position in the memory M21 (step S176), and reads the absolute value Δt ₁ of the minimum paper thickness difference from the memory M23 (step S176). In step S177, the two are compared (step S178). In this case, since Δt ₁ <maximum value (NO in step S178), 1 is added to the count L to set L = 4 (step S180), the count value M is read (step S181), and the count value L and the count are counted. The value M (M = 3) is compared. In this case, since L> M (YES in step S182), the process proceeds to step S183.

In step S183, the CPU 201 reads the count value L = 1 from the memory M23. Then, Δt ₁ at the L = 1st address position of the memory M21 is rewritten to the maximum value of the absolute value of the paper thickness difference (see step S184, FIG. 49B). Then, the count value K = 2 is read (step S185), the count value N = 1 is read from the memory M23, and written to the K = 2nd address position of the memory M24 for display order storage (step S186, FIG. 49 (b)). )reference).

  Then, 1 is added to the count value K to set K = 3 (step S187), the count value M is read (step S188), and the count value K and the count value M (M = 3) are compared (step S189). . In this case, since K> M is not satisfied (NO in step S189), the process returns to step S174.

In step S174, the CPU 201 sets the count value L to 1. Then, the maximum value and the count value N = 1, which are absolute values of the paper thickness difference at the first address position in the memory M21, are read, and the count value L = 1 is read, and the memory for storing the minimum paper thickness difference is read. While writing into M23 (see FIG. 48C), the count value L is set to 2 (step S175). Then, the absolute value Δt ₆ of the paper thickness difference at the L = 2nd address position in the memory M21 is read (step S176), and the maximum value that is the absolute value of the minimum paper thickness difference is read from the memory M23 (step S177). ) And compare them (step S178). In this case, since Δt ₆ <maximum value, the process proceeds to step S179 in response to YES in step S178.

In step S179, the absolute value Δt ₆ and the count value N = 6 of the paper thickness difference at the L = 2th address position in the memory M21 are read, and the count value L = 2 is read, so that the minimum paper thickness difference storage memory is read. Write to M23 (see FIG. 48D). Then, 1 is added to the count value L to set L = 3, the count value M is read (step S181), and the count value L and the count value M (M = 3) are compared. In this case, since L> M is not satisfied (NO in step S182), the process returns to step S176.

CPU201 reads the maximum value being the absolute value of paper thickness difference L = 3 th address location of the memory M21 (step S176), reads the absolute value Delta] t ₆ of the smallest paper thickness difference from the memory M23 (step In step S177, the two are compared (step S178). In this case, since Δt ₆ <maximum value (NO in step S178), 1 is added to the count value L to set L = 4 (step S180), the count value M is read (step S181), and the count value L The count value M (M = 3) is compared. In this case, since L> M (YES in step S182), the process proceeds to step S183.

The CPU 201 reads the count value L = 2 from the memory M23 (step S183), and rewrites Δt ₆ at the L = 2 second address position of the memory M21 to the maximum value of the absolute value of the paper thickness difference (step S184, FIG. 49). (See (c)). Then, the count value K = 3 is read (step S185), the count value N = 6 is read from the memory M23, and written to the K = third address position of the memory M24 for display order storage (step S186, FIG. 50 (c)). )reference). Then, 1 is added to the count value K to make K = 4 (step S187), the count value M is read (step S188), and the count value K and the count value M (M = 3) are compared (step S189). . In this case, since K> M (YES in step S189), the process proceeds to step S190 (FIG. 19).

In this way, the CPU 201 rearranges the paper thickness differences Δt ₁ , Δt ₆ , and Δ ₇ in ascending order, and attaches the count value N indicating the address position in the memory M18 with the order of decreasing paper thickness difference as the display order. The data is stored in the display order storage memory M24.

[Display the characteristics of printing paper within the allowable range]
In step S190, the CPU 201 sets the count value K to 1. Then, the count value N = 7 at the K = 1st address position of the memory M24 for display order storage is read (step S191), the paper type at the N = 7th address position in the memory M18, and the paper eye direction. The paper thickness, the vertical size of the paper, and the horizontal size of the paper are read and displayed as the characteristics of the first printing paper in the display order at the K = 1st position of the display 231 (step S192).

  The CPU 201 adds 1 to the count value K to set K = 2 (step S193), reads the count value M (step S194), and compares the count value K with the count value M (M = 3) (step S194). Step S195). In this case, since K> M is not satisfied (NO in step S195), the process returns to step S191.

  The CPU 201 reads the count value N = 1 of the K = 2nd address position of the memory M24 for display order storage (step S191), and the type of the paper at the N = 1st address position of the memory M18 and the paper eye The direction, the paper thickness, the paper top / bottom direction size, and the paper left / right size are read and displayed as the characteristics of the second printing paper in the display order at the K = 2nd position of the display 231 (step S192).

  The CPU 201 adds 1 to the count value K to set K = 3 (step S193), reads the count value M (step S194), and compares the count value K with the count value M (M = 3) (step S194). Step S195). In this case, since K> M is not satisfied (NO in step S195), the process returns to step S191.

  The CPU 201 reads the count value N = 6 at the K = third address position in the memory M24 for storing the display order (step S191), and the type of the paper at the N = 6th address position in the memory M18 and the paper eye The direction, the paper thickness, the paper top / bottom direction size, and the paper left / right size are read and displayed as the characteristics of the third printing paper in the display order at the K = third position of the display 231 (step S192).

  The CPU 201 adds 1 to the count value K to set K = 4 (step S193), reads the count value M (step S194), and compares the count value K with the count value M (M = 3) (step S194). Step S195). In this case, since K> M (YES in step S195), the process proceeds to step S196 (FIG. 20).

[Selecting printing paper features that are within the allowable range displayed (selecting preset data)]
The operator looks at the characteristics of the printing paper displayed on the display (touch panel type display) 231 and selects the characteristics of the printing paper that seems to be suitable for the printing paper used in the next print job. In this case, since the display order is determined in ascending order of the paper thickness difference, it is easy for the operator to make a determination.

  When the operator does not touch the screen of the display 231 (touch panel type display), that is, the CPU 201 does not set the address (count value X, count value Y) of the display (touch panel type display) 231 to ON. In this case, the count value X in the memory M26 is counted up and the count value Y in the memory M25 is counted up repeatedly.

  That is, the CPU 201 writes 1 in the memory M25 for storing the count value Y (step S196), writes 1 in the memory M26 for storing the count value X (step S197), and proceeds to step S200 according to NO in step S198. 1 is added to the count value X in the memory M26 (step S200), the number of pixels in the X direction of the display 231 is read from the memory M28 (step S201), and the count value X and the number of pixels in the X direction of the display 231 are read. (Step S202), and the count value X is repeatedly counted up (steps S198 and S200 to S202) until the count value X reaches the number of pixels in the X direction of the display 231 (YES in step S202).

  When the count value X reaches the number of pixels in the X direction of the display 231 (YES in step S202), the CPU 201 adds 1 to the count value Y in the memory M25 (step S203), and the memory M28 displays the display 231. The number of pixels in the Y direction is read (step S204), the count value Y is compared with the number of pixels in the Y direction of the display 231 (step S205), and the count value Y reaches the number of pixels in the Y direction of the display 231. (YES in step S205), counting up the count value X by returning the count value X to 1 (steps S197, S198, S200 to S202) and counting up the count value Y (steps S203 to S205) are repeated.

  When the count value Y reaches the number of pixels in the Y direction of the display 231 (YES in step S205), the CPU 201 confirms whether or not the selection completion switch 205 is turned on (step S206). If it is not on (NO in step S206), the count value Y is returned to 1 (step S196), the count value X is returned to 1 (step S197), and the count value X and the count value Y described above are set. Repeat counting up.

  When the count value X and the count value Y are being counted up, if the position of the address (count value X, count value Y) of the display (touch panel type display) 231 is turned ON (YES in step S198), that is, the operator Touches a desired position on the screen of the display 231 (touch panel display), the CPU 201 writes the count value X and count value Y at that time in the memory M27 for storing the selected position (step S199).

  The CPU 201 repeats counting up the count value X and the count value Y even after the count value X and the count value Y are written in the memory M27 for storing the selected position (steps S200 to S205). When the number of pixels in the Y direction is reached (YES in step S205), it is confirmed whether or not the selection completion switch 205 is turned on (step S206).

The maximum value and the minimum value in the X direction are read (step S208). The count value X is read from the memory M27 (step S209), and the count value X is between the maximum value and the minimum value in the X direction at the K = 1st position of the display (maximum value in the X direction ≧ count value X). If it is greater than or equal to (minimum value in the X direction) (YES in step S210), the maximum value and the minimum value in the Y direction at the K = 1st position of the display 231 are read from the memory M30 (step S211).

  Next, the CPU 201 reads the count value Y from the memory M27 (step S212), and the count value Y is between the maximum value and the minimum value in the Y direction at the K = 1st position of the display (the maximum value in the Y direction). If ≧ count value Y ≧ minimum value in the Y direction (YES in step S213), the count value K = 1 is written in the memory M31 as the position of the selected preset data (step S215).

  If the count value X is not between the maximum value and the minimum value in the X direction at the K = 1st position of the display device in step S210, the count value Y is set to K = 1 of the display device in step S213. If it is not between the maximum value and the minimum value in the Y direction at the second position, 1 is added to the count value K, the process returns to step S208, and the same processing is repeated.
