Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Technical Field> The present invention relates to a handy copy machine.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in order to save the trouble of key input operation in a word processor or the like, as shown in FIG. 6, a bar code b is added to a standard sentence a such as “Happy New Year” and “Happy New Year”. File sheets c individually associated with each other are prepared in advance, and the contents of the file sheets c are simultaneously registered in the floppy disk d or the like. If the user wants to print the standard text a on the paper f, trace the bar code b with the bar code reader g, and write one standard text a such as "Happy new year." Corresponding to the bar code b. There is a device in which data is read from a floppy disk d or the like and printed. This is convenient because a desired sentence can be printed simply by tracing the bar code b on the file sheet c without inputting a standard sentence from the keyboard h.

However, in such a case, since the text content set corresponding to the barcode is fixed, the number of data such as the number of sentence examples of the fixed text is extremely limited. It is not possible to add a barcode individually to a sentence created by an individual and register it. For example, it is not possible to add a bar code to a personal address book and pre-register it. Therefore, when printing an address on a postcard, the address must be entered by keying each time and key operation is still required. Is complicated.

On the other hand, the handy copy machine is equipped with a reading unit that reads the image of the text written on the paper and a printing unit that prints the image data read by this reading unit. Even in the case of printing on, the text in which the necessary address is described can be read from the address book by the reading unit and then transferred to a postcard or the like by the printing unit. Therefore, no key input is required.

However, in the case of repeatedly transcribing a sentence such as the above address using a handy copy machine, it is troublesome to trace the entire sentence each time, and especially in the case of a long sentence, scanning misalignment causes a printing error. Is likely to occur.

<Purpose of Invention> The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a sentence created by an individual can be printed on a predetermined sheet without key input, and a long sentence can be transferred. Even in such a case, it is an object to enable printing without causing scanning deviation or the like.

<Structure of Device> The present invention adopts the following structure in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the handy copy machine of the present invention comprises a mode setting means for setting a corresponding registration mode between text and a bar code and a bar code search and print mode, and the reading according to the corresponding registration mode set by the mode setting means. Associating means for associating a bar code and a sentence read by a unit with each other, a storing means for storing both the barcode and the sentence associated by the associating means, and a bar code search set by the mode setting means. Search means is provided for searching and reading a sentence corresponding to the barcode recorded in the storage means based on the barcode read by the reading section according to the print mode.

Therefore, according to the above configuration, when the reading unit reads the text and the barcode after setting the correspondence registration mode by the mode setting unit, the correspondence unit stores the two in association with each other in the recording unit. On the other hand, when the bar code retrieval print mode is set by the mode setting unit and the bar code is read by the reading unit, the retrieval unit reads the bar code corresponding to the bar code stored in the storage unit based on the read bar code. Search and read. Then, the read text is printed by the printing unit.

Therefore, once you have registered the required text in association with the bar code, when printing the same text, you can simply trace the bar code without scanning the handy copy machine over the entire text. Will be printed.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of a handy copy machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the handy copy machine. In these figures, 1 indicates the entire handy copy machine, 2 indicates a reading unit for reading images such as sentences and bar codes written on the paper, and 4 indicates a printing unit for printing the image data read by the reading unit 2. , 6 are slide switches as mode setting means for respectively setting the correspondence registration mode between the text and the bar code and the bar code search and print mode.

Reference numeral 8 is a data processing unit that controls each unit, 10 is a buffer memory as a correlating unit that correlates a bar code read by the reading unit 2 with a sentence according to the correspondence registration mode set by the slide switch 6, and 12 is a The main memory as a storage means for storing both the bar code and the sentence associated with each other in the buffer memory 10, 14 is the bar code read by the reading section 2 according to the bar code search print mode set by the slide switch 6. It is a searching means for searching and reading a sentence corresponding to the barcode stored in the main memory 12 based on the.

Next, the operation and use operation of the handy copy machine having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the power is turned on (step), the data processing unit 8
The mode currently set is discriminated based on the input signal from the slide switch 6 (step). As shown in FIG. 1, when the slide switch 6 is set to the "read" position, the text reading mode is set. When the slide switch 6 is set to the "print" position, the print mode is set to print the read text, and the normal transfer operation is performed (step).

On the other hand, when the slide switch 6 is set to the “registration” position, the correspondence registration mode is entered in which the text and the barcode are registered in association with each other. In this mode, the following operation is performed to register a bar code in association with a predetermined sentence.

Since the manufacturer provides the user with a file sheet in which only the bar code is printed in advance, the bar code of the handy copy machine 1 is scanned on one of the bar codes and read by the reading unit 2. The read barcode data is stored in the buffer memory 10 (step).

Subsequently, the data processing unit 8 determines, based on the input signal from the slide switch 6, whether or not the correspondence registration mode continues (step). When the slide switch 6 is continuously set to the "registration" position, it is determined that the corresponding registration mode is continuing.
Then, next, when the handy copy machine 1 scans a predetermined sentence and the sentence is read by the reading unit 2, the read sentence is also transferred to the buffer memory, and the main memory 12 together with the bar code previously read. Stored in (step). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the bar code and the predetermined text are individually associated and stored in the main memory 12. For example, for the "1100" barcode, the text that indicates one address of "Abeno-ku, Osaka ...", and for the "1101" barcode, the text of the greetings "Dear Sir, Your company will be ...". As described above, they are stored in association with each other. Subsequently, the slide switch 6 is switched to "print" so that the text associated with each bar code can be recognized, and the text read in the step corresponds to the file sheet 16 as shown in FIG. Print it next to the barcode you want to use. As a result, the barcode and the text are individually associated and registered in both the main memory 12 and the file sheet 16.

Next, if you want to read and print one sentence registered as described above, set the slide switch 6 to "Register".
Set to the position of (step). Subsequently, the sentence previously recorded on the file sheet 16 is viewed, and the bar code corresponding to the sentence is scanned by the handy copy machine 1 and read by the reading unit 2. The read barcode data is stored in the buffer memory 10 (step). Then, the data processing unit 8 uses the slide switch 6
It is determined whether or not is set to "registration" as it is (step). When it is not set to “register” (that is, when the slide switch 6 is set to the position of “print”), the data processing unit 8 determines that the barcode search print mode is set, and the buffer memory 10 is selected. Bar code data already stored in the search means 14
Transfer to. The retrieval means 14 retrieves and reads out the corresponding sentence stored in the main memory 12 based on the barcode data (step). Then, this sentence is transferred to the printing unit 4 and the printing operation is executed (step).

Therefore, once you have registered the required sentences by individually associating them with barcodes, you can simply trace the barcode when printing the same sentence without scanning the handy copy machine over the entire sentence. The sentence will be printed.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, a sentence created by an individual can be printed on a predetermined sheet without key input, and even when a long sentence is transferred, it is not necessary to scan the whole sentence. Since it is only necessary to trace the code, the transfer operation is simplified and printing can be performed without causing misalignment of scanning. Therefore, the usability of the handy copy machine is further improved.
