There is a problem that the quality is poor and the quality is likely to vary.

On the other hand, as a method of printing on a toner using a printer, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-203003,
JP-A-10-71706, JP-A-9-11690
A system as shown in Japanese Patent Publication has been proposed.

Of the above publications, first, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-2
The system of JP-A-03003 is a system in which a dot inkjet printer and a conveyor are combined, and the dot inkjet printer is synchronously operated while the tower is reciprocally moved on a conveyer path of the conveyor to perform printing on the tower.

Further, the system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-71706 is to print on the toner by an ink jet type printing method as in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-203003.

Further, the system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-11690 is adapted to print on the column by using not only the writing means of the ink jet type head but also the thermal type head and the pen head.

According to the devices described in these publications,
Stable quality and efficient printing on Toba becomes possible.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a printing system for an old woman according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the printing system 1 for this storage is composed of a personal computer 10, a printer 20, and a transfer device 30.

The personal computer 10 stores a keyboard 11 which is an input means for designating characters to be printed on the apocalypse such as name and date, and a large number of character data for displaying characters in a dedicated typeface. The character data storage unit 12 and the character data of the character designated by the keyboard 11 from the character data storage unit 12, and a control unit 13 for controlling the operation of the printer 20 in response to an instruction from the keyboard 11. A data signal output unit 14 that outputs a signal indicating the character data called from the character data storage unit 12 by the control unit 13 to the printer 20, and a control signal output that outputs a control signal according to an instruction from the keyboard 11 to the printer 20. The personal computer 10 further includes a monitor 16 for displaying the operating state of the personal computer 10.

Next, the printer 20 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the printer 20 includes a strip-shaped base film 21 to which a printing agent is uniformly applied, and an ink removing ribbon 22 for removing unnecessary portions other than characters from the base film 21. Are wound around rolls and housed interchangeably. Further, the thermal head 23 for removing unnecessary parts from the base film 21 to the ink removing ribbon 22 and the base film 21 and the ink removing ribbon 22 arranged below the thermal head 23 are controlled based on the character data. A platen roller 24 that moves these in a predetermined direction in a contact state is provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the transfer device 30 is provided with a transfer portion 31 at the center and a column X (see FIG. 4) before transfer, which is arranged on the left side (in the drawing) of the transfer portion 31. It has a sufficiently long supply pedestal 32, and a discharge pedestal 33 arranged on the right side (in the drawing) of this transfer portion and long enough to discharge the transferred column X.

Of these, a transfer roller 34 is arranged above the transfer section 31, and a cylinder 35 for raising and lowering the transfer roller 34 is installed on the upper surface of a support base 36. The shaft of the cylinder 35 penetrates the support base 36 downward, and the transfer roller 34 is rotatably supported at its lower end via a bracket 37. A heating member 38 for heating the transfer roller 34 is provided near the transfer roller 34.

Below the transfer roller 34, a driving roller 39 for horizontally moving the column X, and a motor 4 for driving the driving roller 39 via a belt 40.
1 and are provided.

Then, in the supply pedestal 32, the tower X
A feeding mechanism 42 is provided for moving the sheet in the direction of the transfer roller 34 on the supply table 32. The supply mechanism 42 includes a supply drive roll 42a and the supply drive roll 4a.
A supply drive roll motor 42c for driving 2a via a drive belt 42b, and an upper roll 42d arranged above the supply drive roll 42a and paired with the supply drive roll 42a for sandwiching the column X from above and below. It is equipped.

Further, the discharge tray 33 has a tower X.
From the transfer roller 34 on the receiving tray 33 for discharging
Two sets of discharge mechanisms 43 and 44 for moving in three directions are provided. The two sets of discharge mechanisms 43 and 44 include a discharge drive roll 43a and a discharge drive roll 43a.
a, 44a are driven via the drive belts 43b, 44b, and discharge driving roll motors 43c, 44c are arranged above the discharge driving rolls 43a, 44a. Upper rolls 43d and 44d for sandwiching are provided.

As a result, by operating the cylinder 35, the transfer roller 34 can be moved up and down and pressed against the column X. And the motor 40
When the supply drive roll motor 42c and the discharge drive roll motors 43c and 44c are operated, the supply pedestal 32
The tower X placed on the upper and lower sides of the supply drive roll 42a and the upper roll 42d, the drive roller 39 and the transfer roller 34, the discharge drive roll 43a and the upper roll 43d, and the discharge drive roll 44a and the upper roll 44d are sequentially moved up and down. In the state of being sandwiched from the above, it is moved from the supply receiving table 32 to the discharging receiving table 33 via the transfer portion 31.

Next, the operation of the printing system for this tower will be described.

First, when character data such as names and years to be printed on the Toba X is input from the keyboard 11 of the personal computer 10, the character data is called from the character data storage unit 12 via the control unit 13 and the monitor 16 is also displayed. The character data is displayed on. After confirming the displayed character data, a printing instruction is issued from the keyboard 11. As a result, the control unit 13 issues a print instruction command, and the data signal output unit 1
A character data signal is output from the printer 4, and a control signal is output from the control signal output unit 15 to the printer 20.

In the printer 20, the personal computer 10
The platen roller 24 rotates according to the character data signal and the control signal output from the thermal head 2 while feeding the base film 21 and the ink removing ribbon 22.
By the operation of 3, the unnecessary portions other than the characters are removed from the base film 21 to the ink removing ribbon 22, and the required characters are output as the transfer film Y left on the base film 21.

Next, the output transfer film Y is transferred to the column X.
And is placed on the supply pedestal 32 of the transfer device 30 so as to be superposed at a predetermined position. Then, after operating the heating member 38, the cylinder 35 is operated to press the transfer roller 34 against the transfer surface of the column X via the transfer film Y.

Further, when the motor 40, the supply drive roll motor 42c, and the discharge drive roll motors 43c and 44c are operated, the column X and the transfer film Y cause the supply drive roll 42a, the upper roll 42d, and the drive roller 39. Transfer roller 34, discharge drive roll 43a and upper roll 43
d, the discharge driving roll 44a and the upper roll 44d
The character x is thermally transferred from the transfer film Y to the column X while moving from the supply pedestal 32 through the transfer unit 31 to the ejection pedestal 33 while being sandwiched between the upper and lower sides, and the printing is completed. Becomes

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to carry out printing on the old woman without any skill and without variations in quality.
Moreover, it becomes possible to perform it efficiently. Moreover, since a device having a complicated mechanism is not required, the system is simplified and the cost is reduced.
