Description

  The present invention relates to an image and a processing reference that is a mark that is read from the recording medium and used as a reference for processing alignment by a processing system that executes processing while changing the processing position with respect to the recording medium on which the image is printed. The present invention relates to a processing image printing system for printing a processing image including a mark.

  Conventionally, as a processing system that executes processing while changing the processing position with respect to a recording medium, a cutting plotter that reads a registration mark that is a processing reference mark printed on the recording medium and uses it as a reference for processing alignment is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In the processing system, the accuracy of processing on a recording medium on which an image is printed may decrease. The reasons why the accuracy of processing by the processing system is reduced include, for example, “the difference between the image that was scheduled to be printed on the recording medium and the image that is actually printed on the recording medium”, and “the processing itself by the processing system” Error ”.

  Here, as the cause of “the difference between the image that was scheduled to be printed on the recording medium and the image that is actually printed on the recording medium”, for example, “the printing of the image on the recording medium by the printer itself Error "," extension / contraction of the recording medium after an image is printed on the recording medium by a printer ", and the like.

  Examples of the "error in printing the image on the recording medium by the printer" include, for example, "error in conveying the recording medium by the printer when the image is printed on the recording medium by the printer", "image on the recording medium by the printer Error of the print head of the printer when “is printed”. For example, “an error in the conveyance of the recording medium by the printer when an image is printed on the recording medium by the printer” is because it is difficult to maintain the conveyance direction of the recording medium in a strictly constant direction during the conveyance. Arise.

  Examples of the “stretching of the recording medium after the image is printed on the recording medium by the printer” include, for example, “stretching of the recording medium caused by the nature of the recording medium after the image is printed on the recording medium by the printer”, “ There is “the expansion and contraction of the recording medium caused by the contraction of the ink applied to the recording medium after the image is printed on the recording medium by the printer”. “Recording medium expansion / contraction caused by the properties of the recording medium itself after an image is printed on the recording medium by a printer” refers to, for example, a recording medium formed of an elastic material such as polyvinyl chloride being transported. There is a case where a recording medium formed of a material that stretches and shrinks after printing and is stretchable by moisture expands and contracts by moisture after printing. Regarding “the expansion and contraction of the recording medium caused by the contraction of the ink applied to the recording medium after the image is printed on the recording medium by the printer”, the location where more ink is applied in the recording medium is caused by the contraction of the ink. Since the amount of shrinkage is large, it is known that the recording medium shrinks non-uniformly when the image printed on the recording medium is a non-uniform image.

  In addition, “the error of processing itself by the processing system” includes, for example, “an error in conveying the recording medium by the processing system when the recording medium is processed by the processing system”, “an error of the recording medium processed by the processing system” Error in the scanning of the machining tool of the machining system ".

  The conventional processing system reads the processing reference mark printed on the recording medium and uses it as a reference for processing alignment, so that the image that was scheduled to be printed on the recording medium and the actual printing on the recording medium are printed. Since the deviation from the existing image can be corrected, the processing accuracy is reduced due to the “deviation between the image that was scheduled to be printed on the recording medium and the image that is actually printed on the recording medium”. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, the conventional processing system prevents the accumulation of “error of processing itself by the processing system” by reading the processing reference mark printed on the recording medium and using it as a reference for processing alignment. It is also possible to suppress a decrease in machining accuracy due to the “error in machining itself”.

  The recording medium on which the cutting plotter described in Patent Document 1 performs processing includes register mark position information with respect to the origin as a graphic code such as a two-dimensional code. Therefore, when the cutting plotter performs processing while changing the processing position with respect to the recording medium, after reading the registration mark position information with respect to the origin from the graphic code of the recording medium, the cutting plotter removes the registration mark based on the position information. By searching on the recording medium, the register marks can be quickly read from the recording medium.

JP 2002-211152 A

  However, even with the cutting plotter described in Patent Document 1, the processing data other than the processing data associated with the recording medium to be processed is used as the processing data that is data used in the processing. If it is specified by the user by mistake, there is a problem that an appropriate processing cannot be performed on the recording medium, and the processing on the recording medium fails. When the cutting plotter described in Patent Document 1 fails to process a recording medium, the user has to start again from printing an image, a registration mark, and a graphic code on a new recording medium. Therefore, time and recording media are wasted.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a processing image printing system, a workpiece manufacturing system, and a processing image generation program that can suppress processing failures more than ever.

  The processing image printing system according to the present invention includes a processing system that executes processing while changing a processing position with respect to an image and a recording medium on which the image is printed. A processing image generating unit that generates a processing image including a processing reference mark that is a mark to be processed, and processing that is data used by the processing system in the processing on the recording medium on which the processing image is printed Processing data generating means for generating processing data, and processing image printing means for printing the processing image generated by the processing image generating means on the recording medium, and at least one of the processing data The fiducial mark is a fiducial mark with a code including a graphic code holding data by a graphic, and the processing image is the processing image. Characterized in that it holds the at least one of said reference mark with encoding processing data identification data is data that identifies the processing data generated by the processing data generating means with respect to.

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system of the present invention prints the processing data identification data for identifying the processing data generated for the processing image on the recording medium itself as a graphic code. In this processing, it is possible to eliminate the necessity for the user to specify the processing data associated with the recording medium to be processed. That is, in the processing image printing system of the present invention, when the recording medium is processed by the processing system, the processing data that is not processing data associated with the recording medium to be processed is mistaken by the user. It can be prevented from being specified. Therefore, the image printing system for processing according to the present invention can suppress the processing failure with respect to the recording medium in the processing system. Further, in the processing image printing system of the present invention, at least one processing reference mark has a function of holding processing data identification data as well as a function as a reference for processing alignment by the processing system. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the necessity of including a graphic code having a function of holding the processing data identification data in the processing image separately from the processing reference mark. In other words, the processing image printing system of the present invention can suppress the waste of the recording medium due to the printing of the graphic code having only the function of holding the processing data identification data.

  In the processing image printing system of the present invention, the processing image may include reference mark coordinate data that is data indicating coordinates of the processing reference mark, and at least one reference with code for all the processing reference marks. It may be held by a mark.

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system of the present invention prints the reference mark coordinate data of all the processing reference marks as a graphic code on the recording medium itself, so that all the processing reference marks printed on the recording medium Even if the fiducial mark coordinate data is not moved to the machining system as electronic data, the fiducial mark data printed on the recording medium itself is processed line data indicating the machining line to be changed by the machining system. The machining system can be corrected based on the deviation between the coordinates of the machining reference mark indicated by the coordinate data and the position of the machining reference mark actually printed on the recording medium.

  In the processing image printing system of the present invention, the processing image includes a plurality of processing reference marks divided into a plurality of groups, and each of all the groups includes at least one of the above-described processing reference marks. A reference mark with code belongs, and the reference mark with code may hold group identification data which is data for identifying the group to which the reference mark with code belongs.

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system according to the present invention allows the group identification data to be assigned to the group to which each of the reference marks with codes belongs, even when a plurality of groups of reference marks with codes are scattered on the recording medium. Can be determined by the machining system. Therefore, the processing image printing system of the present invention can apply different processing data to the processing system for each group of images printed on one recording medium, for example.

  In the processing image printing system of the present invention, at least one of the reference marks with code may hold code identification data that is data indicating identification information of the reference mark with code.

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system of the present invention prints the reference mark with code holding the code identification data on the recording medium, so that when the processing system reads the processing reference mark from the recording medium, the code By using code identification data, it is possible to cause the machining system to erroneously determine that one of the other reference mark with processing and the reference mark with code near the coded reference mark holding the identification data is the other. Can be prevented.

  In the processing image printing system of the present invention, the graphic code may be a two-dimensional code.

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system of the present invention employs a two-dimensional code capable of holding data at a higher density than the one-dimensional code as the graphic code, so the graphic code is a one-dimensional code. Compared to the case, it is possible to reduce the necessity of printing on the recording medium a graphic code other than the reference mark with code, that is, a graphic code having only a function of retaining data. Therefore, the processing image printing system of the present invention can suppress the wasteful consumption of the recording medium due to the printing of the graphic code having only the data holding function.

  In the image printing system for processing according to the present invention, the graphic code may be a QR code (registered trademark).

  With this configuration, the processing image printing system of the present invention employs a QR code, which can read data at high speed, as a graphic code, so that the processing system can read data from the graphic code at high speed. . Further, since the processing image printing system of the present invention employs QR codes that can recognize the orientation by the cut-out symbols provided at three locations as the graphic codes, when the graphic codes are read by the processing system In addition, the processing system can easily search for another graphic code based on the direction of the graphic code. Further, since the processing image printing system of the present invention employs QR codes that can recognize the orientation by the cut-out symbols provided at three locations as graphic codes, the processing system can process the recording medium. This eliminates the need for the recording medium to be set in a specific direction by the user in the processing system. Therefore, the processing image printing system of the present invention can suppress processing failures caused by the direction in which the recording medium is set in the processing system when the recording medium is processed by the processing system. In the processing image printing system of the present invention, the QR code having a function of correcting the error of the read data is adopted as the graphic code. Therefore, when the graphic code is read by the processing system, the graphic of the recording medium is displayed. Even if the portion where the code is printed is somewhat dirty, the processing system can accurately read the data from the graphic code.

  The workpiece manufacturing system of the present invention includes the above-described processing image printing system and the processing system that executes the processing on the recording medium on which the processing image is printed by the processing image printing system. The processing system is a processing data storage unit for storing the processing data generated by the processing data generation unit, and reads the processing reference mark from the recording medium.

  With this configuration, the workpiece manufacturing system of the present invention prints the processing data identification data for identifying the processing data generated for the processing image on the recording medium itself as a graphic code by the processing image printing system. When the recording medium is processed by the processing system, it is possible to eliminate the need for the user to specify processing data associated with the recording medium to be processed. That is, in the workpiece manufacturing system of the present invention, when processing a recording medium by the processing system, processing data that is not processing data associated with the recording medium to be processed is erroneously specified by the user. Can be prevented. Therefore, the workpiece manufacturing system of the present invention can suppress the failure of the processing for the recording medium in the processing system.

  The processing image 80 shown in FIG. 4 is an example of the processing image 80 in which the registration marks 82 are added to the image 81 shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, a recording medium 70 is depicted. The recording medium 70 is not included in the actually generated print data 34b. The processing image generation unit 35a generates, as print data 34b, data obtained by adding a registration mark 82 to the image 81 shown in FIG. 8A, for example, as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the processing image generation unit 35a stores the processing data 34c generated in S102 and the printing data 34b generated in S105 in the storage unit 34 after the processing of S105 (S106). ), The process shown in FIG.

  Next, the printing of the image 81 on the recording medium 70 by the processing image printing system 20 will be described.

  The processing image transmission unit 35 c of the control unit 35 of the PC 30 sends the printing data 34 b stored in the storage unit 34 to the inkjet printer 40 via the network 11 in response to an instruction from the user via the operation unit 31. By transmitting, the inkjet printer 40 is caused to execute printing on the recording medium 70.

  The control unit of the inkjet printer 40 prints, for example, the processing image 80 shown in FIG. 4 on the recording medium 70 based on the printing data 34b transmitted by the processing image transmission unit 35c.

  Next, processing on the recording medium 70 by the processing system 50 will be described.

  After setting the recording medium 70 on which the processing image 80 is printed on the cutting plotter 60, the user instructs the PC 30 to execute processing on the recording medium 70 via the operation unit 31.

  In response to an instruction from the user via the operation unit 31, the control unit 35 of the PC 30 transmits a signal instructing execution of processing to the cutting plotter 60 via the network 11, whereby the recording medium 70 is stored in the cutting plotter 60. Execute processing to.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the operation of the cutting plotter 60.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the identification data reading unit 63b of the control unit 63 of the cutting plotter 60 reads the code-added registration mark 82a on the set recording medium 70 with the CCD camera 61c, whereby the code on the recording medium 70 is read. All data such as the processing data identification data held by the attached registration mark 82a is read (S121).

  Here, the identification data reading unit 63b can recognize the coordinates of the registration mark 82a with code to be read next on the basis of the next code coordinate data held in each registration mark 82a. Data may be started to be read from any of the registration mark 82a with code.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a search for the register mark with code 82 a by the cutting plotter 60. The processing image 80 shown in FIG. 11 is the same as the processing image 80 shown in FIG. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 11, all the registration marks 82 are registration marks 82a with cords.

  In the recording medium 70 shown in FIG. 11, a registration mark 82a with a code at the upper left in the drawing holds data indicating the coordinates of the registration mark 82a with a code at the upper right in the drawing as next code coordinate data. Therefore, after the identification data reading unit 63b of the cutting plotter 60 reads the data held by the registration mark 82a with the code at the upper left in the drawing, the identification code reading data 63b is converted into the next code coordinate data held by the registration mark 82a with the upper left in the drawing. Based on this, as shown by the arrow 64a, it is possible to search for the registration mark 82a with a code in the upper right in the figure. Similarly, the identification data reading unit 63b can search the registration mark 82a with a code in order as indicated by arrows 64b to 64d. Here, the identification data reading unit 63b can confirm that the search destination code-added mark 82a has definitely arrived, based on the own coordinate data held by the search destination code-added mark 82a.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, the processing data acquisition unit 63c of the control unit 63 acquires the processing data 34c corresponding to the processing data identification data read in S121 from the PC 30 after the processing of S121 (S122).

  Next, the control unit 63 targets one rectangular area in the processing data 34c acquired in S122 (S123). This rectangular area is an area defined by a total of four coordinates 85 in which each side of the rectangle is constituted by two adjacent coordinates 85, and is an area surrounding the processing line 84. Note that the four register marks 82 corresponding to these four coordinates 85 are a set of register marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference by the cutting plotter 60 during processing. These coordinates 85 are acquired from all the registration mark coordinate data read in S121.

  Next, the registration mark reading unit 63a of the control unit 63 recognizes a region corresponding to the rectangular region that is the current target (hereinafter referred to as “medium corresponding region”) in the set recording medium 70 (S124). . That is, the registration mark reading unit 63a detects the corresponding area on the medium by reading the actual position of the registration mark 82 printed on the recording medium 70 with the CCD camera 61c. Note that the registration mark reading unit 63a may use the position of the registration mark 82 that has been read in S121, that is, the position of the registration mark with code 82a that was read in S121.

  Next, the processing execution unit 63d of the control unit 63 determines the processing line 84 in the rectangular region currently targeted in the processing data 34c based on the position, angle, shape, and size of the corresponding area on the medium recognized in S124. Is corrected (S125). That is, the processing execution unit 63d deforms the processing line 84 in the currently targeted rectangular area according to the position, angle, shape, and size of the corresponding area on the medium with respect to the currently targeted rectangular area.

  Next, the processing execution unit 63d performs processing on the portion of the recording medium 70 in the corresponding area on the medium by the processing tool 61d based on the processing line 84 corrected in S125 (S126).

  Next, the control unit 63 determines whether or not there is a rectangular area not yet targeted in the processing data 34c (S127). This rectangular area is an area defined by a total of four coordinates 85 in which each side of the rectangle is constituted by two adjacent coordinates 85, and is an area surrounding the processing line 84.

  If the control unit 63 determines in S127 that there is a rectangular region that is not yet targeted, the control unit 63 targets one rectangular region among the rectangular regions that are not yet targeted (S128), and executes the processing of S124. .

  On the other hand, if the control unit 63 determines in S127 that all rectangular regions are targeted, the process illustrated in FIG. 10 ends.

  As described above, the processing image printing system 20 prints the processing data identification data for identifying the processing data 34c generated for the processing image 80 on the recording medium 70 itself as the registration mark 82a with a code. When the recording medium 70 is processed by the processing system 50, it is possible to eliminate the need for the user to specify the processing data 34c associated with the recording medium 70 to be processed. That is, when the processing image printing system 20 processes the recording medium 70 by the processing system 50, the processing data that is not the processing data 34c associated with the recording medium 70 to be processed is received by the user. It is possible to prevent erroneous specification. Therefore, the processing image printing system 20 can suppress processing failures on the recording medium 70 in the processing system 50 more than ever.

  In the processing image printing system 20, at least one registration mark 82 among a plurality of registration marks 82 has a function as a reference for alignment of processing by the processing system 50 as well as a processing data identification data. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the necessity of including the QR code having the function of holding the processing data identification data in the processing image 80 separately from the register mark 82. That is, the processing image printing system 20 can prevent the recording medium 70 from being wasted due to the printing of the QR code having only the function of holding the processing data identification data.

  The processing image printing system 20 holds reference mark coordinate data, which is data indicating the coordinates of the registration marks 82, in all the registration marks 82 as all registration mark coordinate data in at least one of the coded registration marks 82a. That is, the processing image printing system 20 prints the reference mark coordinate data of all the register marks 82 on the recording medium 70 itself as a QR code. Therefore, in the processing image printing system 20, the reference mark coordinate data of all the register marks 82 printed on the recording medium 70 is printed on the recording medium 70 itself even if it is not moved to the processing system 50 as electronic data. The processing line data can be corrected by the processing system 50 based on the deviation between the coordinates of the registration marks 82 indicated by the total registration mark coordinate data and the position of the registration marks 82 actually printed on the recording medium 70 (S123). ~ S125).

  In this embodiment, the reference mark coordinate data of all the registration marks 82 is held in at least one of the coded registration marks 82a as all registration mark coordinate data. However, the processing image 80 may hold the reference mark coordinate data of all the registration marks 82 by a method other than all the registration mark coordinate data. For example, when all the registration marks 82 are code-registered registration marks 82a, the self-coordinate data held in each of the code registration marks 82a is the whole of all the registration marks 82 included in the processing image 80. Reference mark coordinate data. Similarly, when all the register marks 82 are code-registered marks 82 a, the next code coordinate data held in each of the code-registered marks 82 a are all registered marks included in the processing image 80. 82 reference mark coordinate data.

  In the processing image printing system 20, since the reference mark coordinate data of all the registration marks 82 printed on the recording medium 70 is held in the registration mark 82 a with a code on the recording medium 70, the reference mark coordinates of the registration marks 82. It is not necessary to include data in the processing data 34c. For example, the processing image printing system 20 only needs to generate processing line data of the processing data 34c with a predetermined registration mark 82 as the origin, and the configuration of the processing data 34c can be simplified.

  The processing image printing system 20 includes the next code coordinate data in the registration mark 82a with code and prints it on the recording medium 70. Therefore, the PC 30 of the processing system 50 stores the coordinates of the registration mark 82a with code on the recording medium 70. Even if it is not, it is possible to cause the machining system 50 to quickly read all the code-registered marks 82a from the recording medium 70 by relying on the next code coordinate data in the code-registered marks 82a.

  Note that the processing image printing system 20 may cause the processing system 50 to quickly read all the registration mark 82a with a code from the recording medium 70 by a mechanism other than the next code coordinate data. For example, the processing image printing system 20 includes all code coordinate data, which is data indicating the coordinates of all the code marks 82 a on the recording medium 70, included in the code marks 82 a and prints them on the recording medium 70. The processing system 50 may be configured to read all code coordinate data from the registration mark 82 a with code on the medium 70. The processing system 50 reads all the code coordinate data from the code-registered mark 82a on the recording medium 70, and quickly reads all the code-registered marks 82a from the record medium 70 without any restriction on the order of reading. Can do. Here, all the code coordinate data may be held in all the register marks 82a with codes included on the recording medium 70, or at least one of the register marks 82a with codes, for example, a code existing at a position to be read first. It may be held by the attached register mark 82a or the like.

  The processing image printing system 20 causes the processing system 50 to read the code marks 82a sequentially in accordance with the next code coordinate data in the code marks 82a. That is, the machining system 50 can recognize that all the registration-marked register marks 82a have been read.

  The processing image printing system 20 may cause the processing system 50 to recognize that all of the code-added registration marks 82a on the recording medium 70 have been read by a mechanism other than the next code coordinate data. For example, the processing image printing system 20 includes code identification data that is data indicating identification information of the code mark 82a itself and all codes that are data indicating the number of all code marks 82a included in the recording medium 70. The numerical data is included in the registration mark 82a with code and printed on the recording medium 70, so that the processing system 50 reads the code identification data and the total code number data from the registration mark 82a with code on the recording medium 70. Also good. The processing system 50 reads the code identification data and the total code number data from the registration mark 82 a with code on the recording medium 70, and the number of the registration marks 82 a with code indicated by the total code number data and the code with the code on the recording medium 70. When the number of types of code identification data read from the register mark 82a matches, it can be recognized that all the code-added register marks 82a on the recording medium 70 have been read. Here, the total code number data may be held in all the registration marks 82a with codes included on the recording medium 70, or at least one of the registration marks 82a with codes, for example, a code that exists at the position to be read first. It may be held by the attached register mark 82a or the like. The code identification data may also be used as data that can be identified from other registration mark 82a with code among data held in the registration mark 82a with code, such as own coordinate data.

  The processing image printing system 20 includes code identification data, which is data indicating identification information of the code registration mark 82a itself, included in the code registration mark 82a and is printed on the recording medium 70, and the next code coordinate data, all code coordinate data, A recording medium including coordinate ID correspondence data, which is data for associating the coordinates of the target registration mark 82a with the code data such as all registration mark coordinate data with the code identification data of the registration mark 82a with code, is included in the registration mark 82a with code. By printing on 70, the processing system 50 may be made to read the code identification data and the coordinate ID corresponding data from the registration mark 82a with code on the recording medium 70. When the processing system 50 reads the code identification data and the coordinate ID corresponding data from the code registration mark 82a on the recording medium 70, the processing system 50 searches the target code registration mark 82a based on the coordinates indicated by the read coordinate data. Due to the coincidence between the code identification data associated with the coordinate data by the coordinate ID correspondence data and the code identification data actually read from the target code-registered mark 82a, the target code-registered mark 82a is definitely reached. I can confirm that. That is, the processing system 50 can prevent erroneous determination of one of the other code-attached registration mark 82a adjacent to the target code-added registration mark 82a and the target code-added registration mark 82a as the other. it can. As a result, the processing image printing system 20 can reduce the arrangement interval between the registration marks 82a with cords, so that the recording medium 70 is wasted due to the space provided between the registration marks 82a with cords. Can be suppressed. In addition, when the processing image printing system 20 can reduce the arrangement interval between the registration marks 82a with cords, a large number of registration marks with cords are provided at places where the processing line data needs to be corrected with high accuracy. 82a can be placed closely. The code identification data may also be used as data that can be distinguished from the other registration mark 82a with code among the data held in the registration mark 82a with code, such as own coordinate data. Further, the coordinate ID corresponding data may be read from the PC 30 instead of being printed on the recording medium 70.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the processing image generation unit 35 a gives a registration mark 82 to one image 81, but for example, as shown in FIG. 82 may be given. In the example shown in FIG. 12, all the register marks 82 are cord-registered marks 82a.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the processing image generation unit 35a generates a processing image 80 including only one image 81. For example, as shown in FIG. The processing image 80 including the group may be generated. In the example shown in FIG. 13, all the register marks 82 are code-registered register marks 82 a.

  In the processing image 80 shown in FIG. 13, twelve registration marks 82 are composed of a group of four registration marks 82 surrounding the upper right image 81 in the figure, and four registration marks 82 surrounding the upper left image 81 in the figure. And a group composed of four register marks 82 surrounding the two images 81 at the bottom of the figure. The processing image printing system 20 is configured so that, even when a plurality of groups of registration marks 82a with codes are scattered on the recording medium 70, based on the group identification data held in the registration marks 82a with codes, The group to which the registration mark with mark 82a belongs can be discriminated by the machining system 50. Accordingly, the processing image printing system 20 can apply different processing data 34 c to the processing system 50 for each group of images 81 printed on one recording medium 70, for example.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the processing image generation unit 35 a generates a processing image 80 in which all the registration marks 82 are the registration marks 82 a with a code. For example, as shown in FIG. A processing image 80 including a registration mark 82 that is not 82a may be generated. In the example shown in FIG. 14, among the four registration marks 82 surrounding the image 81, registration marks other than the registration mark at the upper left in the figure are registration marks that are not the code-added registration marks 82 a.

  In this embodiment, the PC 30 employs four registration marks 82 as a set of registration marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference when processing by the processing apparatus. It can be executed with high accuracy. However, the PC 30 may employ a number of registration marks 82 other than four as a set of registration marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference when processing by the processing apparatus. For example, the PC 30 can employ two register marks 82 or three register marks 82 as a set of register marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference when processing by the processing apparatus.

  In the present embodiment, the PC 30 employs four registration marks 82 that form a rectangular area as a set of registration marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference by the processing apparatus during processing. As a set of register marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference, a plurality of register marks 82 that form a region other than a rectangle may be employed. For example, the processing image generation unit 35a may generate a processing image 80 including a registration mark 82 as shown in FIG. 15 as a set of registration marks 82 that are simultaneously used as a reference when processing by the processing apparatus.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the ink jet printer 40 moves the recording head 41c in the main scanning direction by the carriage 41b with respect to the recording medium 70 that does not move in the main scanning direction. By performing printing in the scanning direction and transporting the recording medium 70 in the sub-scanning direction to the recording head 41c that does not move in the sub-scanning direction, the position of the recording head 41c in the sub-scanning direction relative to the recording medium 70 is set in the main scanning direction. This is a printer that changes every time printing ends. However, the inkjet printer 40 may be a printer of a method other than the method in the present embodiment. For example, the printer of the present invention performs printing in the main scanning direction by the recording head 41c by moving the recording head 41c in the main scanning direction by the carriage 41b with respect to the recording medium 70 that is placed on the table and does not move, By moving the main body 41 in the sub-scanning direction with respect to the table on which the recording medium 70 is placed, the position of the recording head 41c in the sub-scanning direction relative to the recording medium 70 is changed each time printing in the main scanning direction is completed. An inkjet printer of the type may be used.

  In this embodiment, the cutting plotter 60 moves the processing tool 61d in the main scanning direction by the carriage 61b and moves in the sub-scanning direction with respect to the recording medium 70 that does not move in the main scanning direction, as shown in FIG. This is a processing apparatus that performs processing while changing the processing position in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction with respect to the recording medium 70 by conveying the recording medium 70 in the sub-scanning direction to the non-processing tool 61d. However, the cutting plotter 60 may be a processing apparatus of a method other than the method in the present embodiment. For example, the cutting plotter 60 moves the processing tool 61d in the main scanning direction by the carriage 61b with respect to the recording medium 70 that is placed on the table and does not move, and is subordinate to the table on which the recording medium 70 is placed. It may be a processing apparatus that performs processing while moving the main body 61 in the scanning direction while changing the processing position in the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction with respect to the recording medium 70. In the case of this type of processing apparatus, there is a possibility that the recording medium 70 is placed on the table in an arbitrary direction. However, in the processing apparatus, the recording medium 70 is placed on the table in any direction. Since the processing can be appropriately executed depending on the nature of the QR code capable of recognizing the orientation, it is possible to reduce the work burden on the user such as adjusting the orientation of the recording medium 70 on the table. Further, in the case of this type of processing apparatus, the processing apparatus arranges the CCD camera at a position where all the QR codes in the recording medium 70 placed on the table can be read at once. May be.

  The network connecting the PC 30 and the inkjet printer 40 and the network connecting the PC 30 and the cutting plotter 60 are the same network 11 in the present embodiment, but may be separate networks.

  The computer that controls the inkjet printer 40 and the computer that controls the cutting plotter 60 are the same PC 30 in this embodiment, but may be separate computers.

  The PC 30 that is a computer that controls the ink jet printer 40 and the ink jet printer 40 are separate devices in the present embodiment. However, the computer that controls the ink jet printer 40 and the ink jet printer 40 may be an integrated device.

  The PC 30 that is a computer that controls the cutting plotter 60 and the cutting plotter 60 are separate apparatuses in the present embodiment. However, the computer that controls the cutting plotter 60 and the cutting plotter 60 may be an integrated device.

  Note that the processing data 34c read by the cutting plotter 60 may be stored in, for example, a server arranged on the Internet instead of the PC 30. When the processing data 34c read by the cutting plotter 60 is stored in the server, this server constitutes the processing data storage unit of the present invention.

  The inkjet printer 40 and the cutting plotter 60 are separate apparatuses in the present embodiment, but may be the same printing apparatus having both a printing function and a processing function. Even if it is such a printing processing apparatus, for example, after printing is performed on the recording medium 70 by the printing processing apparatus, lamination is performed on the recording medium 70 by a laminating apparatus other than the printing processing apparatus, and then the original is again performed. When the processing is not performed continuously immediately after printing by the same printing processing device, such as when processing the recording medium 70 by the printing processing device, the printing device and the processing device are separate devices. As in the case, the effect of the present invention is great.

  Since the processing image printing system 20 employs a QR code that can read data at high speed as a graphic code that is a registration mark 82a with a code, the processing system 50 can read data from the graphic code at high speed. it can.

  Further, since the processing image printing system 20 employs a QR code that can recognize the orientation by the cut-out symbols provided at three locations as a graphic code that is the registration mark 82a, the processing system 50 uses the graphic code. Is read, the machining system 50 can easily search for another graphic code based on the orientation of the graphic code.

  Further, since the processing image printing system 20 employs a QR code that can recognize the orientation by the cut-out symbols provided at three places as the graphic code that is the registration mark 82a, the recording medium by the processing system 50 is used. When processing 70, it is possible to eliminate the need for the recording medium 70 to be set in a specific direction by the user in the processing system 50. Therefore, when the recording medium 70 is processed by the processing system 50, the processing image printing system 20 can suppress processing failures caused by the direction in which the recording medium 70 is set in the processing system 50 by the user.

  Further, in the processing image printing system 20, since the QR code having a function of correcting the error of the read data is adopted as the graphic code that is the registration mark 82a with code, when the graphic code is read by the processing system 50, Even if the portion of the recording medium 70 on which the graphic code is printed is somewhat dirty, the processing system 50 can accurately read the data from the graphic code.

  In the processing image printing system 20, the figure code which is the registration mark 82a with code is a two-dimensional code other than the QR code, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a CP code (registered trademark) or an SP code (registered trademark). Also good.

  The processing image printing system 20 is a two-dimensional code that can hold data at a higher density than the one-dimensional code even when the graphic code serving as the registration mark 82a with the code is a two-dimensional code other than the QR code. Is adopted as a graphic code, compared to the case where the graphic code as the registration mark 82a with a code is a one-dimensional code, a graphic code other than the registration mark 82a with a code, that is, a graphic having only a function of retaining data. The need to print the code on the recording medium 70 can be reduced. Therefore, the processing image printing system 20 can prevent the recording medium 70 from being wasted due to the printing of the graphic code having only the function of retaining data.

  In the processing image printing system 20, even when the graphic code as the registration mark 82 a with a code is a two-dimensional code other than the QR code, as in the case where the graphic code as the registration mark 82 a with a code is a QR code, It is preferable that the two-dimensional code capable of recognizing the direction or having a function of correcting the error of the read data is a graphic code.

  In the processing image printing system 20, the graphic code that is the registration mark 82a with code may be a graphic code other than the two-dimensional code, for example, a one-dimensional code.

  The cutting plotter 60 includes a CCD camera 61c as a camera for reading the registration marks 82 printed on the recording medium 70, but instead of the CCD camera 61c as a camera for reading the registration marks 82 printed on the recording medium 70, A camera other than the CCD camera may be provided. For example, the cutting plotter 60 may include a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera as a camera that reads the registration marks 82 printed on the recording medium 70.
