[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The address slip is attached to the consignment that matches the content on the information side with the information side facing up, and the front side is automatically or visually read and used for shipping processing including transportation and sorting. It is something that will be done. Each of the above information, that is, the contents of the consignment,
Information other than information related to the shipping process, for example, if the consignment is a newspaper, communications from the sender to the destination, such as notifications of future pagination changes, notices of dealer meetings, and instructions for inserting separate copies; The writing of information, etc. is not carried out due to limitations due to the size of the writing area of the paper slip, and from the viewpoint of preventing various processing errors due to misreading of the contents of the consignment or shipping processing information. In addition, if the above-mentioned communication information, etc. is available, a separate paper slip containing only the communication information must be created and attached to the consignment along with the address slip, or sent separately by post. Therefore, there is a problem that not only is there a waste in creating paper slips, but also processing operations such as attachment and mailing are extremely complicated. On the other hand, a device for creating an address slip containing such communication information has not yet appeared.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides an addressee system configured to create an address slip by conveying a roll of paper from a paper supply section to a paper discharge section. In the paper slip creation device, during the paper conveyance path, there is a front-side image forming section that forms shipping processing information that can vary for each print unit on the front side of the paper, and communication information from the sender to the destination on the back side of the paper. A back-side image forming section capable of forming an image forming section, and a paper cutting section downstream of the two above-mentioned image forming sections are provided, and a paper splicing section is provided in the paper supply section and a paper splicing waste paper is separated in the paper discharging section. A guide section that can be separately discharged is provided, a control section is provided for controlling the operation of each of the above-mentioned components, and the operations of the two image forming sections and the paper cutting section are controlled in a coordinated manner. By aligning the area and the cutting line and controlling the operation of the paper splicing section and the guide section in conjunction with each other, spliced waste paper is distinguished and discharged.
This technical method was adopted.

In the present invention, the paper discharge section may be configured to include means for attaching the address slip to the consignment.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, while the paper is being conveyed from the paper supply section to the paper discharge section, the shipping processing information that can change for each printing unit is transmitted to the front surface by the image forming section.
On the other hand, communication information with the same predetermined content can be printed on the back side by aligning the front and back print lines, and then cut into address slips by aligning the print lines on the front and back sides. . Furthermore, the spliced portion of the paper can be distinguished and discharged as waste paper.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1a is a plan view showing an example of an address slip created by the apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1b is a diagram showing the address slip shown in FIG. 1a attached to a consignment. FIG.

First, in FIG. 1a, 01 is an address slip, and in the same figure, a part of the slip is folded back to show the back side. As is clear from the figure, address slip 0
1, usually on the front side 02 of A4 or B5 size paper, sender name 0, destination name 1, relay course 2, station name 3, number of units to be shipped 4, number of copies to be shipped 5, color band 6, sorting. The contents of the consignment and shipping processing information, such as a symbol 7, are written, and on the back side 03, communication information 8, such as a page layout change notification, is written.
Then, as shown in FIG. 1B, it is attached to a consignment SS, which is a stacked bundle of newspapers, with the front side 02 facing upward, and is transported from the sender to the destination in accordance with the shipping processing information. At the destination, the communication information 8 from the sender can be obtained by checking the back side 03 of the address slip 01 attached to the received consignment. The communication information 8 is information that is unnecessary for the shipping process, and depending on the content, there may be matters that the company does not want the related parties of other companies in the same industry to know or that it does not want to make public. Therefore, it is more convenient to write these on the back side 03 of the address slip 01, which cannot be read during the shipping process.

FIG. 2a is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. In the same figure, rolls of paper stock R1 and R2 are mounted on a paper supply section 21, and the leading end of one roll of stock paper R1 is connected to a guide roller 22, an unwinding roller 23,
Tension roller 24, guide roller 25, 2
6. The paper is guided through a paper feed roller 27 and a cutter 28 to reach a paper discharge section 29 .

The other end of the paper roll R2 is connected to the splicing section 30 via a guide roller 22', and as the paper roll R1 is exhausted in a predetermined manner, the tip of the paper roll R2 is
The paper is waiting to be spliced to the end of the paper.

Between the guide roller 26 and the paper feed roller 27, a drawing line is formed on one side of the roll of paper R1 (R2), that is, on the front side 02 as the address slip 01 (see FIG. 1a), for example. , a front side image forming section 31 consisting of a thermal head 311 and a platen roller 312 is provided, and a color band printing section 32 and a color mark printing section 33 are arranged side by side. Further, between the guide rollers 25 and 26, there is a roll of paper R1 (R
2) A back side image forming section 34 of a thermal transfer type, for example, is provided to form an image on the other side, that is, the back side 03 (see FIG. 1a) of the address slip 01. When the front side image forming section 31 is a thermal image forming means using a thermal head 311 and a platen roller 312 as shown in the figure, the rolled paper R1
(R2) is thermal paper. Therefore, when the back side image forming section 34 is of a thermal transfer type, the thermal transfer film or ribbon-shaped thermal transfer ink 341 used for forming the back side image is a roll-like stock paper R1 (R2) which is a thermal paper. Use one that can be used within a temperature range that does not cause any reaction.

The rolled paper R1 (R2) is unrolled by the unwinding roller 2.
3, and the amount corresponding to the swing of the tension roller 24 is stored. Next, paper feed roller 2
7, and in the meantime, the back side image forming section 34
Communication information is streaked when passing through, and shipping processing information is streaked when passing through the front side streak forming section 31 , color band printing section 32, and color mark printing section 33. The reason why the front-side image forming section 31 has two sets of thermal heads 311 and platen rollers 312 is to allow each set to form images on half of the front side at the same time, thereby increasing the image forming efficiency. It's for a reason.

When the paper is fed by the paper feed roller 27 and the storage for the swing of the tension roller 24 is exhausted, the paper is unwound by the unwinding roller 23. In addition, when the paper in the area where no image formation is required passes through the image forming sections 31 and 34 on the back side and the front side, the color band printing section 32, and the color mark printing section 33, for example, the thermal head 311 and/or Alternatively, the thermal transfer ink 341 and the thermal head 342 are separated from the paper surface.

Ryoshi with front side drawing lines and back side drawing lines,
The paper is sent to the cutter 28 by the paper feed roller 27 and cut into a predetermined size, for example, the above-mentioned A4 or B5 size.
handed over to. As shown in FIG. 1a, the address slip 01 needs to be formed so that the positional relationship between the front side drawings and the back side drawings is aligned, and each drawing line and/or the address paper The unwinding, paper feeding, and cutting of the paper are all controlled by the control section 35.

The address slip 01 cut as described above passes through the guide plate 291 of the paper discharge section 29 , reaches the conveyor section 292, stops directly below the attachment operation plate 294 of the address slip attaching means 293, and is transferred to the conveyor section 292. Part 2
It is attached to the upper surface of the cargo SS that has been brought into the space below 92 by a conveyance means (not shown) by the lowering operation of the attachment actuating plate 294, or
It is discharged from the discharge port 92 onto the pedestal 295 and accumulated. In the conveyor section 292, a belt 296 is stretched across the address slips so as to sandwich and transport the address slips from above and below, and an attached actuating plate 2
94 is allowed to pass. As described above, the end of the roll of paper R1 is spliced with the leading end of the roll of paper R2 due to predetermined exhaustion, but this spliced portion cannot be used as the address form 01. Therefore, by aligning this portion with reaching the paper discharge section 29 ,
The guide plate 291 is tilted as shown by the chain line, and the paper including the spliced portion is guided to the waste paper receiver 297 and discharged.

The control unit 35 controls which discharge operation the paper discharge unit 29 performs. As described above, the control unit 35 controls the operation of each operating unit of the address slip creation device, and the control commands may be given each time manually and/or by a detection means (not shown), or may be programmed in advance. There are cases where it is given as a supplement, and cases where it is given in combination.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the control unit 35 has a function of controlling the display format and display content of the front side drawing lines of the address slip 01, and in the example shown in FIG. , Address slip 0
The display format and display content of the back-side drawing lines of No. 1 can also be controlled.

Next, FIG. 2b is a schematic diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention, and the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2a. In the same figure, the back side image forming section 34 is the same as that shown in FIG. The structure is the same and the operation is also the same.

Note that the invention of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but includes design modifications that do not depart from the scope of the claims.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the invention of the present application has the structure and operation described above, when creating an address slip, it is possible to create an address slip with communication information written on the back side of the address slip. It is possible to eliminate paper slips sent to destinations. In addition, it is possible to wipe out paper and mailing materials for correspondence forms, and to print correspondence forms,
It also eliminates work such as attachments and mail processing, and eliminates waste in terms of both materials and work. Furthermore, since communication information can be entered just before the shipping process in the same way as the shipping processing information, it is possible to respond immediately to changes in communication information, and the communication slips arranged in advance as in the past are completely wasted due to changes in information. This has the effect of preventing this. Furthermore, the communication information is on the back of the address slip and cannot be read during the shipping process and transportation, ensuring communication confidentiality.

Furthermore, since paper can be continuously supplied by splicing, there is no need to interrupt the creation of address slips due to exhaustion of the paper, and the efficiency of creating address slips can be improved. By discharging fraudulent paper slips containing spliced portions separately from genuine paper slips, the subsequent processing of created address paper slips can be carried out smoothly.
