Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a printing device equipped with a slip suction mechanism, and an object thereof is to easily provide a slip suction opportunity.

Conventionally, this type of device used a special function key or similar key to trigger the slip inhalation, so it required two steps: inputting data as print information and key operation to suck in the slip. I needed it.

The present invention eliminates this drawback and will be described below with an embodiment in the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a timing chart for a conventional device. In FIG. 4, by operating the function key 3, a slip suction signal 4 is output, giving an opportunity for slip suction, and thereafter, print information such as bar code input 1 and numeric key input 2 is input. Therefore, when continuous printing is required over a plurality of slips, there is a problem in that the two-step process is cumbersome.

The present invention is intended to eliminate such drawbacks, and will be described below with reference to an embodiment of the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a printing device with a slip suction mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a time chart when data input to the first data input section is preceded, and Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a printing device with a slip suction mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is a time chart when inputting data to the input section in advance.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a data input section composed of a barcode reader, 2 is a data input section composed of a numeric keypad, 3 is a function key input section for instructing slip intake, 4 is a slip intake processing section, Reference numeral 5 designates a print processing unit, 6 a signal line through which a slip inhalation trigger signal is output, 7 a signal line through which print data is output, and 8 an OR gate.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. After setting the slip in the insertion slot, the operator's first operation is to enter the first data from input section 1 such as a barcode reader, input the first data from input section 2 of the numeric keypad, or press the fan to specify the slip suction. The input operation from the button key 3 is performed. Then, along with the specified operation, the outputs of the input sections 1, 2, and 3 are applied to the slip suction processing section 4 as a slip suction trigger signal through the OR gate 8, and it can be operated. Further, by subsequent operations, print data is applied from the input units 1 and 2 to the print processing unit 5 via the signal line 7, and an operation for printing on the slip is performed.

That is, when data input 1 of the first data input section (barcode) is inputted first as shown in FIG. , printing of data 1 starts when barcode input 1 is completed. Next, upon completion of data input 2 on the second data input section (numeric keypad), printing of data 2 starts.

Further, when the data input 2 of the second data input section (numeric keypad input) is preceded as shown in FIG. 3, the slip suction 4 is similarly performed.

Furthermore, when the function key is used, the operation as shown in FIG. 4 is performed as in the conventional case.

As explained above in the embodiments, according to the present invention, the slip inhalation trigger signal is generated not only from the function key input section 3 but also from the numeric keypad and other input sections by the operator's first operation. Therefore, the operation of sucking in the slip can be further simplified, which is extremely advantageous in practice.

In particular, according to the present invention, when a series of business processes requires continuous printing on multiple slips, each slip, including the first one, can be input using a numeric keypad or a barcode reader. It has the advantage that it can be automatically sent to the printing device by inputting the information, etc., and therefore, even the first sheet can be printed easily and without error without requiring any special operation.
