Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a label processing apparatus and a label processing program.

  There is known a printing apparatus which cuts a roll sheet including a plurality of labels at regular intervals into a sheet of a constant length and prints label information on each label on the cut sheet. For example, due to the structure of the printing apparatus, the minimum cut sheet length that can be transported by the printing apparatus is 125 mm, the length of one label is 23 mm, the margin between labels (timing adjustment section for cutting) is 2 mm, the required label When the number (total number of labels) is 11 and the number of labels per cut sheet (number of unit labels) is 5, for example, two 125 mm cut sheets in which label information is printed on all five labels One cut sheet of 125 mm in which the label information is printed on only one of the five labels is output. For a 125 mm cut sheet in which the label information is printed only on this one label, four labels are wasted.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an example of a label processing apparatus according to the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a control block diagram of the label processing apparatus according to the embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the label processing apparatus includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an input unit 13, a display unit 14, a data input unit 15, a data processing unit 16, a printer unit 17, a paper supply unit 18, A paper discharge unit 19 and the like are provided. The printer unit 17 is, for example, a printer unit using an electrophotographic method, and includes first to fourth photosensitive drums 171, 172, 173, and 174 that hold latent images, a fixing roller 175, and the like. The paper feed unit 18 includes paper feed rollers 181a and 181b, a cutter 182, and the like. The paper discharge unit 19 includes a paper discharge roller 191, a first paper discharge tray 192, a second paper discharge tray 193, and the like.

  The control unit 11 controls all operations related to label processing by the label processing apparatus. The storage unit 12 stores an operation control program, operation parameters, and the like. The input unit 13 includes, for example, a touch panel, and receives various inputs from the user. The display unit 14 is, for example, integrally formed with the input unit 13, and displays the received input content and the like as an image, characters, and numbers.

  The paper feed unit 18 feeds the roll paper P (sheet base paper) at a constant speed by the paper feed roller 181 and detects the roll paper P to which a plurality of sensors are sent out. The control unit 11 detects the roll paper P based on the detection timing. The cut timing by the cutter 182 is controlled. By controlling the cut timing by the control unit 11, the cutter 182 can cut out cut sheets CS of various lengths. Due to the structure of the label processing apparatus, the minimum processable (conveyable) sheet length is determined, and cutting of cut sheets shorter than the minimum sheet length is not permitted. The roll paper P includes a plurality of labels at regular intervals.

  The data input unit 15 inputs image data (label information etc.) transmitted from a PC or the like, the data processing unit 16 converts the input image data into designated print data, and the printer unit 17 prints Based on the data, the latent colors corresponding to C (cyan), M (magenta), Y (yellow, yellow), and Bk (black, black) for the first to fourth photosensitive drums 171, 172, 173, 174. An image is formed, C, M, Y, Bk toners are supplied to develop a latent image corresponding to each color, a toner image corresponding to each color is transferred to a cut sheet (each label on the cut sheet), and the cut sheet The toner image transferred onto (each label on the cut sheet) is fixed.

  The paper discharge unit 19 discharges the cut sheet on which the toner image is fixed by the paper discharge roller 191 to the paper discharge tray 192 or 193.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a cut sheet (minimum cut sheet) cut into a fixed length (minimum sheet length). In the case of printing by the electrophotographic printer unit 17, since it comprises processes of charging, exposure, development, and fixing, the minimum sheet length that can be reliably transported and printed is determined by the arrangement of each configuration of the electrophotographic apparatus. For example, the minimum sheet length that can be processed is set to be longer than the distance between the sheet feeding roller 181 b and the fixing roller 175. If the cut sheet is the minimum sheet length or more, the cut sheet can be reliably pressed by the sheet feeding roller 181b and the fixing roller 175, and the floating of the cut sheet and jamming can be prevented. The storage unit 12 stores information on the minimum sheet length. For example, information on cut timing and the like for cutting the roll paper to the minimum sheet length or more is stored.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the minimum cut length of the label processing apparatus according to the embodiment is 125 mm, and the number of labels included in the minimum cut sheet is the minimum number of labels. The number of labels included in one reference cut sheet having a reference length greater than or equal to the minimum sheet length is the number of unit labels.

  Since the length of one label is 23 mm in FIG. 3, five labels are included on the cut sheet of 125 mm which is the minimum sheet length. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the margin between labels (timing adjustment section for cutting) is 2 mm (the margin at the upper end and the lower end of the cut sheet is 1 mm, which is half the margin between labels).

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of label processing by the label processing apparatus according to the embodiment. According to this label processing, the cut length of the sheet pulled out from the roll paper P is variably controlled in the minimum cut length or more and the reference length or less according to the total number of labels desired, and generation of useless labels is suppressed. .

  For example, the user inputs the desired total number of labels (Req), the number of unit labels mounted on one cut sheet (Unit), and the minimum number of labels (Min) via the input unit 13 (input unit) (ACT 1) . That is, the user inputs the total number of labels and the number of unit labels per cut sheet via the input unit 13.

  The total number of labels and the number of unit labels should be set to a value equal to or more than the minimum number of labels (Min). The control unit 11 determines whether the total number of labels and the number of unit labels that have been input are equal to or more than the minimum number of labels, and if it is not equal to or more than the minimum number of labels, it determines as an error and requests reinput.

  Next, the control unit 11 (first, second, and third setting means) controls the size (length) and margin (margin between labels) of one label stored in the storage unit 12 and the input unit. Based on the number of labels, the length (reference length) of a normal cut sheet (reference cut sheet) not less than the minimum sheet length is set. Simply described, the control unit 11 sets a reference length corresponding to the number of unit labels. Based on the total number of labels and the number of unit labels, the control unit 11 calculates the fraction of labels (the number of differential labels) (y0) when processing is performed using the assumed number of sheets (x0) required in calculation c1 and the number of unit labels. (ACT 2). The definitions of x0 and y0 are as follows.

x0: Req / Unit value is integerized (Truncate less than a few)
y0 = Req-(Unit x x 0)
Since the total number of labels is an integral multiple of the number of unit labels, the control unit 11 determines that there is no label fraction in judgment jg1 (y0 = 0) (ACT3, NO), that is, jg1 = 0 (ACT21) It is determined that the subsequent adjustment processing is unnecessary because a number of fractional labels less than the number of unit labels is generated (ACT 22). In this case, the control unit 11 sets x1 (x1 = x0) as the number of normal cut sheets at setting s3 and y1 (y1 = 0 (unnecessary)) as the number of labels of the adjustment cut sheet 1 Set y2 (y2 = 0 (unnecessary)) as the number (ACT 23).

  In other words, based on the fact that the total number of labels is an integral multiple of the number of unit labels, the control unit 11 sets the number of reference cut sheets to a value of an integral multiple and sets the number of labels per reference cut sheet as one unit. Set to the number of labels. The cutter 182 (label processing means) cuts the sheet delivered from the roll paper P at the cut control timing based on the setting, generates a reference cut sheet of an integral multiple of the number of sheets, and the printer unit 17 Print label information on each label of the sheet. The discharge unit 19 discharges the reference cut sheet to the discharge tray 192 by the discharge roller 191.

  Since the total number of labels is not an integral multiple of the number of unit labels, the control unit 11 determines that a label fraction is present in determination jg1 (y0> 0) (ACT3, YES), that is, jg1 = 1 (ACT4), unit It is determined that the subsequent adjustment process is necessary because a number of labels less than the number of labels is generated.

  If the control unit 11 determines that the fraction is equal to or greater than the minimum number of labels in the determination jg2 (y0 Min Min) (ACT5, YES), that is, jg2 = 1 (ACT6), the total number of labels divided by the number of unit labels A numerical value is selected, and in addition to the number of normal cut sheets of this integer value, one adjustment cut sheet 1 of a first length according to the fraction is set (ACT 7). In this case, the control unit 11 sets x1 (x1 = x0) as the number of normal cut sheets and y1 (y1 = y0) as the number of labels of the adjustment cut sheet 1 in the setting s1. Y2 (y2 = 0) is set as the number of labels (ACT 8). That is, when the fraction is equal to or more than the minimum number of labels (y0) Min), the number of normal cut sheets including the label of the unit label number is set to x1 (x1 = x0), and one adjustment length adjustment according to the fraction A cut sheet 1 is set, and one adjustment cut sheet 1 includes a label of fraction y1 (y1 = y0).

  In other words, if the total number of labels is not an integral multiple of the number of unit labels, the control unit 11 selects an integer value obtained by dividing the total number of labels by the number of unit labels, and multiplies the integer value by the number of unit labels. Calculate the multiplied value, calculate the difference label number corresponding to the difference between the total label number and the multiplication value, and if the difference label number is equal to or more than the minimum label number included in the minimum sheet length, the reference cut of the reference length The number of sheets is set to the integer value, and one adjustment cut sheet having an adjustment length corresponding to the number of difference labels (in addition, a margin between labels, etc.) is set. The cutter 182 cuts the sheet delivered from the roll paper P at the cut control timing based on the setting, generates the reference cut sheet of the number of integer values, and the adjustment cut sheet, and the printer unit 17 Label information is printed on each label included in the cut sheet, and label information is printed on each label included in the adjustment cut sheet. The discharge unit 19 discharges the reference cut sheet having the number of integers and the adjustment cut sheet to the discharge tray 192 by the discharge roller 191. Further, in order to distinguish between the reference cut sheet and the adjustment cut sheet (in order to inform the presence of the adjustment cut sheet), the sheet discharge unit 19 applies to the discharge position of the reference cut sheet of the number of integers. Alternatively, the sheet may be discharged to the sheet discharge tray 192 by shifting the sheet discharge position of the adjustment cut sheet. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the discharge unit 19 includes a member 194 for changing the direction of the cut sheet, and causes the member 194 to project at a timing immediately before the conveyance of the adjustment cut sheet, thereby obtaining the number of integers. The adjustment cut sheet may be rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the reference cut sheet of FIG. Alternatively, the adjusted cut sheet may be discharged to the sheet discharge tray 192 by reversing the front and back sides of the reference cut sheets having the integer value. Alternatively, at least one portion of the adjustment cut sheet may be creased and discharged. Alternatively, the reference cut sheets of the number of integers may be discharged to the discharge tray 192, and the adjusted cut sheets may be discharged to the discharge tray 193. Alternatively, the printer unit 17 may print identification information (color marker) in the margin portion of the adjustment cut sheet. This makes it easy to distinguish between the reference cut sheet and the adjustment cut sheet, and can notify that two types of cut sheets have been discharged.

  If the control unit 11 determines that the fraction is less than the minimum number of labels in the determination jg2 (y0 <Min) (ACT5, NO), that is, jg2 = 2 (ACT11), the total number of labels divided by the number of unit labels A numerical value is selected, and the number of remainder labels obtained by adding the number of unit labels and the fraction is 1 or more and less than the number of unit labels, in addition to the number of normal cut sheets which is 1 less than the number of integers The number of labels is divided into two, and one adjustment cut sheet 1 of a second length corresponding to the first number of labels (further, the margin between labels, etc.) is set, and the second number of labels (more labels) Setting the adjustment cut sheet 2 of the third length corresponding to the margin etc.) (ACT 12).

  That is, in order to make the fraction (y0) larger than the minimum number of labels (Min) in calculation c2, the number of unit labels included in one normal cut sheet is added to the fraction (y0) to generate a fraction (y1 ') (The fraction (y1 ') corresponds to the number of remaining labels). The fraction (y1 ') is (y1' = y0 + Unit), and this fraction (y1 ') is divided into two adjustment cut sheets and output. The fraction (y1 ') can also be written as (y1' = Reg- (Unit * x1)) (ACT 13). When the fraction (y0) is smaller than the minimum number of labels (y0 <Min), the number of normally cut sheets is x1 (x1 = x0-1) (ACT 13). The control unit 11 sets the fraction y1 (y1 = y1′−Min) as the number of labels of the adjustment cut sheet 1 and sets y2 (y2 = Min) as the number of labels of the adjustment cut sheet 2 in the setting s2 (ACT 14) ). Therefore, there is one adjustment cut sheet 1 having a length corresponding to the fraction y1 (y1 = y1'-Min), and one adjustment cut sheet 2 having a length corresponding to the fraction y2 (y2 = Min).

  The cutter 182 cuts the sheet delivered from the roll paper P at the timing of cut control, and reduces the number of reference cut sheets, the number of adjustment cut sheets 1 and the number of adjustment cut sheets, by one less than the number of sheets of the integer value. 2 is generated, the printer unit 17 prints label information on each label included in each reference cut sheet, and prints label information on each label included in one adjustment cut sheet 1, and one adjustment cut Label information is printed on each label included in the sheet 2. The discharge unit 19 discharges the reference cut sheet, the one adjustment cut sheet 1 and the one adjustment cut sheet 2 smaller than the integer value by the discharge roller 191 to the discharge tray 192. . Further, in order to distinguish the reference cut sheet from the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 (in order to inform the existence of the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2), the paper discharge unit 19 The discharge positions of the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 may be shifted with respect to the sheet discharge position and the sheet may be discharged to the sheet discharge tray 192. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the paper discharge unit 19 includes a member 194 that changes the direction of the cut sheet, and causes the member 194 to protrude at a timing immediately before the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 are transported. The adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 may be rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the reference cut sheet, and may be discharged to the sheet discharge tray 192. Alternatively, the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 may be discharged to the sheet discharge tray 192 by reversing the front and back of the reference cut sheet. Alternatively, at least one of the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 may be creased and discharged. Alternatively, the reference cut sheet may be discharged to the discharge tray 192, and the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2 may be discharged to the discharge tray 193. Alternatively, the printer unit 17 may print identification information (color markers) in the margin portions of the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2. This makes it easy to distinguish between the reference cut sheet, the adjustment cut sheet 1 and the adjustment cut sheet 2, and can notify that two types of cut sheets have been discharged.

  FIG. 5 is conditional on the minimum number of labels included in the minimum sheet (Min = 5), the number of unit labels included in one cut sheet (Unit = 10), and the total number of labels desired (Req: 10 to 20), It is a figure which shows an example of the process result at the time of applying a label adjustment process. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be understood that even when a fraction of labels less than the minimum number of labels is generated, one or more cut sheets including more than the minimum number of labels and less than the number of unit labels can be output.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the processing result when the label adjustment processing of this embodiment is not applied under the conditions of the minimum number of labels (Min = 5), the number of unit labels (Unit = 10), and the total number of labels (Req: 11). FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, two cut sheets are output, and one cut sheet corresponds to a normal cut sheet, but the remaining one cut sheet has nine blank (waste) labels. Including. That is, a cut sheet of a size including 10 labels is used for one fractional label.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the processing result when the label adjustment processing of this embodiment is applied under the conditions of the minimum number of labels (Min = 5), the number of unit labels (Unit = 10), and the total number of labels (Req: 11). FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, it can be seen that no blank paper (waste paper) label is generated. That is, since a cut sheet (adjustment cut sheet) including six sheets of labels and a cut sheet including five labels (adjustment cut sheets) are output, a label of white paper (waste paper) does not occur.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the case where the adjustment processing of the present embodiment is not applied, provided that the number of unit labels is eight and the total number of labels is 125. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the case where the adjustment processing of the present embodiment is applied under the condition that the number of unit labels is eight and the total number of labels is 125.

  As shown in FIG. 8, since the sheet is prepared in eight label units (fixed), all the 16 sheets are normally cut sheets, and one sheet of the 16 sheets is printed with label information. The number of labels is 5, and the number of labels in which the label information is not printed (the number of unnecessary labels) is 3. That is, 16 sheets (fixed form) × 8 labels = 128 labels, 128 labels−125 labels = 3 labels (waste).

  As shown in FIG. 9, 15 out of 16 sheets are normal cut sheets with eight labels, and the remaining one sheet is adjustment cut sheets with five labels (≧ minimum number of labels). It becomes. That is, 15 sheets (fixed form) × 8 labels + 1 sheet (adjustment) × 5 labels = 125 labels, and there is no waste label.

  As described above, it is possible to provide a technology that prevents waste of roll paper.

  According to the label processing apparatus of this embodiment, in order to eliminate paper waste, “minimum sheet length”, “length of one label”, “margin between labels (length)”, “upper end and lower end of paper” Based on the "margin (length)" and "total number of labels", the cutting conditions of strip labels without waste are calculated, and one or more normal cut sheets of at least the minimum sheet length are output, or at least the minimum sheet length Output one or more normal cut sheets and one adjustment cut sheet including at least the minimum number of labels and less than the number of unit labels, or at least one normal cut sheet having at least the minimum sheet length and at least the minimum number of labels Output two adjustment cut sheets including less than the number of labels, or output two adjustment cut sheets including at least the number of labels and less than the number of unit labels. This makes it possible to suppress the generation of useless labels to be discarded. And since all cut sheets (including adjustment cut sheets) usually fit within the length (reference length) of the cut sheet, it is easy to pack the sheets.

  According to the label processing apparatus of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform cut control to eliminate the waste of roll paper (label), and it is possible to provide a technology to eliminate the waste of roll paper.
