Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically make a filing hole in a slip and to eliminate the number of the processes of manual work even when filing quantity is increased by providing a slip inserting part, a slip end surface detection part and a hole making mechanism making the filing hole in the slip after printing. CONSTITUTION:A dot impact printer is constituted of a slip inserting part 1 inserting a slip 7, a slip driving roller 2 driving the slip 7, a slip end surface detection part 4 detecting the end surface of the slip 7, a platen 5, a printing head 3 printing the slip 7 and a hole making mechanism 6 making a punch hole in the slip 7. The slip 7 is inserted in the slip inserting part l to be guided downwardly by the driving roller 2 and, at this time, the end surface of the slip 7 is detected by the slip end surface detection part 4. The hole making position of the punch hole is set on the basis of this detection signal by a control part and the slip is driven to the set position and the punch hole is made in the slip by the punching pin 62 of the hole making mechanism 6. A plurality of holes can be made by the control part.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a dot impact printer.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional dot impact printers do not have a mechanism for punching file holes in the ticket printing mechanism, so file holes must be punched manually after printing the ticket, if necessary.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the conventional dot impact printers mentioned above, file holes are manually punched when needed to file and save the printed sheets, which has the disadvantage of increasing the amount of manual labor required as the amount of files increases. There is.

[Means to solve the problem]

The dot impact printer of the present invention includes a ticket insertion section for inserting a ticket, a ticket end face detection section for detecting the end face of the ticket, and a punching mechanism for punching a file punch hole after printing the ticket. It has

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a dot impact printer according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the mechanism in which the holes in FIG. 1 are made.

In FIG. 1, the dot impact printer of this embodiment includes a cut inserting section 1 for inserting a cut 7, a cut driving roller 2 for driving the cut 7, and a cutter for detecting the end face of the cut 7. It has an end face detection section 4, a platen 5, a print head 3 for printing on the cut sheet 7, and a hole punching mechanism 6 for punching holes in the cut sheet 7.

In FIG. 2, the hole punching mechanism 6 in this embodiment is a mechanism in which a punch bin 62 is driven by a solenoid 61 to punch a hole in the cut sheet 7. away from

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together.

The ticket 7 is put into the ticket insertion section 1 and guided downward by the drive roller 2. At this time, the end face of the cut sheet 7 is detected by the cut end face detection section 4. Based on this detection signal, a control unit (not shown) sets the position of the punch hole, and the cut sheet 7 is driven to the set position, and the punch hole shown in FIG. 2 is punched by the machine 111.
A punch hole is punched by the punch pin 62 of No. 6. A plurality of holes can be punched by the control section described above.

Note that the same effect can be obtained even if the hole punching mechanism 6 is integrated with the ticket insertion part 1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes a ticket insertion section for inserting a ticket, a ticket end face detection section for detecting a single side of the ticket, and a punching mechanism for punching a file punch hole after printing the ticket. By having this, the file 6 can be automatically opened on the cut sheet when printing with a printer, so that even if the amount of files increases, the manual labor required in the conventional method can be eliminated.
