DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment when the present invention is applied to a printing method on a continuous sheet for printing for obtaining a label to be attached to a packaging container for eggs will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a part of the surface side of the continuous sheet for printing, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing a part of the continuous printing sheet printed on the printing unit.
[0007]
First, a continuous sheet for printing to be printed will be described. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the continuous sheet for printing 1 has the entire surface as the print portion 3, and the release paper 5 can be peeled off from the back surface of the label substrate 2 formed by applying an adhesive 4 on the back surface. The unit sheet 6 bonded to the surface is connected to the cutting perforation 7 serving as a cutting portion.
[0008]
The label base material 2 is divided into two by slits 8 extending in parallel with the cutting perforations 7 to form labels 2a and 2b, respectively. The label base material 2 is formed slightly smaller than the release paper 5 for each unit sheet 6 to facilitate the peeling of the labels 2a and 2b from the release paper 5. A cutting perforation 7 for partitioning the unit sheet 6 is provided on the release paper 5.
[0009]
For each label 2a and 2b, the print section 3 has a “type” indicating the size grade in English letters, a “weight” indicating the stored weight, and a “responsibility of egg weight weighing” indicating the name of the person responsible for weighing the stored weight. ”,“ Packaging place ”indicating the place where the container is packed,“ Rating date ”indicating the date of size classification,“ Expiration date ”indicating the date of expiration date, and the storage method Printing is performed in a print mode in which product information of a predetermined item is selected from the product information of each item of “storage method” and “use method” indicating the method of use.
[0010]
That is, among the product information of each item described above, each product of “type”, “weight”, “egg weighing person”, “packaging place”, “expiration date”, “storage method”, “use method” A first print mode for printing a print mode composed of information on each label 2a, 2b, "type", "weight", "egg weight weighing person", "packaging place", "expiration date", "storage method" , Print the printing form consisting of each item of information on “Usage” on the label 2a, and from each item of information on “Type”, “Weight”, “Egg Weight Weigher”, “Packaging Place”, “Rating Date” A second print mode (see FIG. 4) for printing the print mode on the label 2b is set in advance, and either one of these two print modes is selected and printed.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 3, on the back surface of the continuous printing sheet 1, linear line marks 9 that are print mode instruction marks are printed on the back surface of the release paper 5 along the perforations 7 for cutting. Yes. This line mark 9 is provided in a first sensor region corresponding to a detection position of the detection sensor S described later, and is a portion on one side that bisects the width direction of the back surface of the continuous sheet 1 for printing (the lower side in FIG. 3). Occupy the side part). The remaining portion in the width direction of the back surface of the continuous printing sheet 1 is a second sensor region corresponding to the non-detection position of the detection sensor S.
[0012]
Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the detection sensor S for detecting the line mark 9 has its installation position corresponding to the movement path of the line mark 9 corresponding to the first sensor area (solid line position in FIG. 3), It can be set at a position deviated from the movement path of the line mark 9 corresponding to the two-sensor area (virtual line position in FIG. 3). When the line mark 9 is detected, the second print mode is selected and printed on the printing unit 3, and when the line mark 9 is not detected, the first print mode is selected and printed on the print unit 3. It is composed.
[0013]
Next, the printing operation will be described. When the detection sensor S is installed at the position of the solid line in FIG. 3 corresponding to the first sensor area, the detection sensor S detects the line mark 9 that moves as the continuous sheet 1 for printing is moved. When a detection signal of the line mark 9 is input from the detection sensor S to a printer (not shown), the printer applies to the unit sheet 6 conveyed following the cutting perforation 7 provided with the detected line mark 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the second print mode is printed on the print section 3 of each label 2a, 2b.
[0014]
On the other hand, when the detection sensor S is installed at the virtual line position in FIG. 3 corresponding to the second sensor region, the detection sensor S does not detect the line mark 9. In this case, the printer (not shown) prints the first print mode on the printing unit 3 of each label 2a, 2b for the next unit sheet 6 that has been transferred.
[0015]
In this way, the first and second preset values are set on the print sections 3 of the labels 2a and 2b of the unit sheet 6 depending on whether the detection sensor S detects the line mark 9 or not. One of the print modes can be selected and printed. And each printed label 2a, 2b can be peeled from the release paper 5, and can be affixed with the adhesive 4 of a back surface in appropriate places, such as the side surface of a predetermined packaging container.
[0016]
In addition, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above, For example, the label base material 2 does not need to partition into two labels 2a and 2b by the slit 8. FIG. The printing unit 3 of the continuous printing sheet 1 is not limited to the surface of the labels 2a and 2b, but may be the surface of the continuous printing sheet 1 itself. In this case, the line mark 9 is also provided on the back side of the printing continuous sheet 1 itself. When the printing unit 3 is provided on the printing continuous sheet 1 itself, each unit sheet 6 does not have an adhesive, and therefore is accommodated together with the eggs in the packaging container. Furthermore, the shape of the print mode instruction mark 9 is not limited to a linear shape, and the position of the print mode instruction mark 9 is not limited to the position along the cutting perforation 7. .
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
Thus, according to the continuous printing method of the invention of claim 1 of the present application, since the presence or absence of detection of the print mode instruction mark is determined by the mechanical operation of changing the position of the detection sensor, the user is unaccustomed to the computer operation. Even an elderly person can easily select and print a print mode.
