Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to break up and store various fixed type frames or fixed type sentences in a plurality of IC cards by a method wherein IC cards in which recording signals for fixed type frames or fixed type sentences, etc., of process are stored are provided, and the recording signals on the IC cards are read by a printing machine main body, and the indication of the process is performed. CONSTITUTION:An IC card 5 is fitted in a slot 7 of a printing machine main body 3. An IC card key on a control panel 9 is pressed once, and a pattern of process is selected from among desired fixed type frames, e.g. ruled line of a reporting paper, 400 character writing pad, or 10mm section paper, etc., or fixed type sentences, etc., which are frequently used, by controlling the control panel 9, and the process is started when a start key is pressed. When the IC card key is not pressed, if the power source is connected while an ADF key on the control panel 9 is being pressed, the number of the IC card which is fitted in the slot 7 is displayed. In this case, when a set key is pressed once, a total process number of times is displayed on the control panel 9. When the set key is pressed twice, a total printing sheet number is displayed, and when the set key is pressed three times, the control panel 9 returns to a condition in which the number of the IC card is displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a printing machine that performs plate making and printing using an IC card.

(Prior Art) Conventional printing machines, which are equipped with a mechanism for making master paper and a printing mechanism for wrapping the master paper around a cylinder and printing on printing paper, are capable of producing standard frames for manuscript paper, report paper, etc. A manuscript such as a standard text is read by an optical reading device installed in the printing machine, and based on the read information, a plate-making mechanism installed in the main body creates a plate-making base paper, and this plate-making base paper is sent to the printing machine. The paper was wrapped around a cylinder to print the required number of frames and text on the printing paper.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such conventional printing presses, it is necessary to read the original with an optical reading device before plate making, so there are problems with the accuracy of the optical system of this reading device. Due to the limitations, it is difficult to obtain very clear printing. Therefore, it is conceivable to store such recording signals of the plate-making base paper as digital signals in internal memory or external memory, but it is also possible to store patterns such as various fixed frames and fixed phrases of many people using the printing machine. This can be handled by distributing and storing data in multiple external memories.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a printing machine equipped with a mechanism for making a plate on a base paper and a printing mechanism for wrapping the made base paper around a cylinder and printing on printing paper. An IC card is provided in which recorded signals such as the standard frame and text for plate making are stored, and this IC card is inserted into a slot in the main body of the printing machine to read the recorded signals and give instructions for plate making.

(Function) According to the above means, by inserting the IC card into the slot of the printing machine body and operating the operation panel provided in the printing machine body, the recording signal of the prepress standard frame and standard text stored in the IC card can be sent. is read, and instructions for plate making are given based on this recording signal.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the printing press of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the same, and FIGS. 3 (1) and (2) are flowcharts showing the operating procedure of the plate-making mechanism using an IC card.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a printing machine of the present invention, and the printing machine 1 has a fixed frame for plate making, such as ruled lines for report paper, 400-character manuscript paper, 10 mm, on the upper side of the main body 3. It is provided with a slot 7 into which an IC card 5 storing recording signals such as graph paper or frequently used fixed phrases is inserted, and an operation panel 9 for operating the printing machine 1 is provided on the top surface. Also, inside the main body 3, a plate making mechanism 11 and a paper feeding mechanism 1 are installed.
3, a printing mechanism 15, a plate discharge mechanism 17, etc.

In the plate-making mechanism 11, the roll-shaped base paper 19 is guided between the thermal head 23 of the plate-making section 21 and the presser roller 25, and the IC
Plate making is performed based on a recording signal of a desired fixed form frame or fixed form sentence read from the card 5 under instructions from a CPU (not shown). The stencil-made base paper 26 is transferred to a pair of feed rollers 2
7, it is wound around a cylinder 29, and the end is cut by a cutter 31.

A paper feed table 33 of the paper feed mechanism 13 is provided below the plate making mechanism 11, and printing paper 35 is placed thereon.

The printing paper 35 is transferred one sheet at a time by a feed roller 37 and upper and lower rollers 39 to a cylinder 2 around which a plate base paper 26 is wrapped.
9 and press roller 41.

The printing mechanism 15 includes the aforementioned cylinder 29 and press roller 41, and printing is performed by the press roller 41 pressing the sent printing paper 33 against the cylinder 29 around which the plate-making base paper 26 is wound. The printed sheets 33 are stacked one by one onto a paper discharge table 43 provided outside the main body 3.

The plate discharge mechanism 17 peels off the unnecessary plate-making base paper 26 using a claw 45 and stores it in a plate discharge box 47.

Next, the operating procedure of the plate-making mechanism 11 using the IC card 5 will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3(1) and 3(2).

First, the IC card 5 is inserted into the slot 7 of the printer main body 3 using 5 TEPI. If the IC card 5 is not installed,
Printing can be performed by manually inputting necessary information such as the number of copies to be printed and the size of printing paper from the operation panel 9. Next, press the IC card key on the operation panel 9 (STEP
2). Press the IC card key once here 5TEP3)
, operate the operation panel 9 to select a prepress pattern from a desired standard frame, such as report paper ruled lines, 400-character manuscript paper, 10 mm graph paper, etc., or frequently used standard sentences, etc., and press the start key. This will start the plate making process.

When the plate-making operation is completed, the normal state is returned, so that the above-described printing operation can be continued. If the IC card key is pressed again (STEP 4), the normal state is returned.

If the IC card key is not pressed in 5TEP2, if the power is turned on without pressing the ADF key on the operation panel 9, the number of the IC card 5 installed in the slot 7 will be displayed.

Next, it is determined whether the set key has been pressed (S
TEP5). If not, turn off the power and press I.
When the C card 5 is removed from the slot 7, all operations are completed. When the set key is pressed once (STEP 6), the total number of plate makings is displayed on the operation panel 9. When the set key is pressed twice (STEP 7), the total number of prints is displayed. Also, if you press the set key three times (ST
EP8) Returns to the state where the IC card number is displayed.

In this way, the IC card 5 not only stores a recording signal of a standard frame for plate making or a standard sentence, but also has the function of managing the number of plates made and the number of sheets printed using the IC card 5.

(Effects of the Invention) As detailed above, according to the present invention, the fixed form frames and fixed phrases are stored in an IC card separate from the main body of the printing machine, so that many people who use the printing machine can Even fixed frames and fixed phrases can be distributed and stored in multiple IC cards. Further, since there is no optical reading section unlike in the case of plate making based on a manuscript, clear printing can be performed without being restricted by problems with the accuracy of the optical system of the reading section.
