Abstract
Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はプリンタに使用するプラテンに関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a platen used in a printer.
従来のプリンタ用のプラテンは、印字用紙走行郡全体が
同じ高さの−様な平面になっている。A platen for a conventional printer is a flat surface with the entire printing paper running group having the same height.

という欠点を有している。As mentioned above, when pressure-sensitive paper is used as printing paper, conventional platens are equipped with a card holder between the platen and the print head to hold down the printing paper. has a paper staple section that binds the edges of pressure-sensitive paper for printing, and when this paper staple section comes to the printing position, the gap between the platen and card holder is extremely large due to this paper staple section. This has the disadvantage that the width of the printing paper becomes narrow, leading to paper jams and hindering the conveyance operation of the printing paper.

ができるプリンタのプラテンを提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional printer platen, and to improve reliability by eliminating paper jams caused by paper staples at the edges when pressure-sensitive paper is used as printing paper. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printer platen capable of performing an excellent paper conveyance operation.
本発明のプラテンは、印字用紙走行部の印字範囲部分よ
りも外側の部分、すなわち感圧紙の紙ホチキスのある部
分に対応する部分に段差を設けた構造としたものである
。The platen of the present invention has a structure in which a step is provided at a portion outside the printing range of the printing paper running section, that is, a portion corresponding to the portion of the pressure-sensitive paper where the paper staples are located.

部を設けたものである。That is, the platen of the present invention has a flat card holder disposed between it and the print head, the surface facing the print head is formed in a flat shape, and the platen is inserted between the card holder and conveyed. In a platen of a printer that prints on pressure paper using the print head, a stepped portion is provided at a portion corresponding to a paper stapler section for binding the edges of the pressure-sensitive paper by a predetermined dimension lower than the surface facing the print head. It was established.
次に、本発明の実施例について図面を参照して説明する
。Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第1図は本発明の一実施例を示す正面図である。FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

る。In FIG. 1, the platen 3 is a printing area 3a of printing paper.
Step portions 6 and 7 which are lower than the surface of the printing range 3a are provided on the outer side. When the pressure-sensitive paper 4 is placed on the platen 3 having such a configuration and the print head 5 prints, the card holder 1 disposed between the print head 1 and the platen 3 binds the edges of the pressure-sensitive paper 4. When the card holder 1 reaches the paper stapler section 4a, the paper stapler section 4a is pushed down toward the stepped section 6 or 7 by the card holder 1. Therefore, the protrusion of the paper stapler part 4a is connected to the platen 3.
The pressure-sensitive paper 4 can be easily conveyed between the card holder 1 and the platen 3 by letting the pressure-sensitive paper 4 escape toward the stepped portion 6 or 7.

う効果がある。As explained above, the present invention conveys pressure-sensitive paper on the platen for printing by providing a stepped portion lower than the surface of the platen in a portion outside the printing range of the paper running portion of the platen. When the card holder is placed above the paper staple part of the pressure-sensitive paper, the paper staple part will be pushed toward the stepped part provided on the platen, so make sure that there is a sufficient gap between the card holder and the paper staple part. Therefore, it is possible to prevent paper jams from occurring in the printer and paper conveyance failures.
