The operation and effect of each configuration of the printer with barcode reader of the embodiment of FIG. 3 described above is the same as the operation and effect of the configuration of the first embodiment of FIG. It is similar except that it is not. Although the above embodiment is an example in which the bar code reader is fixedly attached to the lid of the printer, the bar code reader may be fixedly or detachably attached to a position other than the above lid. . Application Example 1 Next, the computer device equipped with the printer with the bar code reader performs a read check of the bar code immediately after printing the bar code on the paper. If there is a read error, the bar code is erroneous. Display the print indication on the above-mentioned paper or display device and print the same bar code again on the next paper. If the lead check is correct, the paper is transferred and the same processing is performed. As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the above-mentioned device includes a keyboard 61 for inputting a bar code, a display device 62 for displaying a character graphic, a flexible disk drive 63 as an external storage device, and a bar code. Printer 64 with bar code reader with reader 64a attached to printer 64b, and bar code printing, read check command connected to these devices, searching for and processing items corresponding to the bar code, and printing It is composed of an electronic control unit 70 having a function to instruct.

The electronic control unit 70 is composed of a well-known CPU 71, a ROM 72, a RAM 73, and a backup RAM 74 as an arithmetic logic circuit, and converts an input / output signal from an external device such as the keyboard 61 into a signal which can be processed by the CPU 71. An input / output port 75 for conversion is provided. The ROM 72 stores a program corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG.

A process executed based on the above-described flowchart in the configuration of the printer with bar code reader shown in FIG. 3 will be described. First, the paper is manually or automatically set in the cut sheet feeder 54 of the printer with bar code reader 53 (step 81), and the paper is fed to the bar code printing position (step 82). Next, it is judged whether the first bar code was printed or the previously printed bar code was erroneous (step 83). If the bar code was erroneously printed, the same bar code is again used. Is printed and the process proceeds to step 86. If it is the first bar code or if it was printed correctly last time, the bar code of the next new code is printed (step 85) and the process proceeds to step 86. In step 86, the paper 43 is fed to the position of the bar code detecting section 41 which detects the bar code. Next, the printed bar code on the paper 43 is read from the bar code detecting section 41, and it is judged whether or not it matches the bar code of the print instruction from the keyboard 61 (step 87). If the codes of the instruction bar code match, the process proceeds to step 89, and if they do not match, the erroneous printing is displayed on the paper 43 on which the bar code is printed (step 88). In addition, erroneous printing may be displayed on the screen of the display device 62. In step 89, the paper 43 is ejected. Next, at step 90, it is judged whether or not there is paper to be printed, and if there is paper, the routine proceeds to step 82. If the above paper is not present, the process ends. Similarly, the processes of steps 81 to 90 are repeatedly executed. As described above, when using this printer with barcode reader, when the barcode printed by the printer is unclearly printed due to the aging phenomenon of the printer ribbon, etc., a read check is performed immediately after printing is completed. Displaying that it is unclear, prompting the user to replace the ribbon, displaying erroneous printing on the above printing paper, printing the same bar code again on the next paper, and checking the lead, all printing ends. After that, if you remove only the paper on which incorrect printing is displayed, all the remaining printed material will be only the paper on which a clear barcode was printed. Conventionally, after all printing is completed, a barcode reader is used to perform a barcode read check, and if a read error occurs, the barcode code is specified again and printing is performed again. It was complicated to insert, but it disappeared completely by using this printer. It is especially effective when printing serial number barcodes. Application Example 2 Next, in a computer device using the printer with a barcode reader, relevant items are printed at a designated position on the sheet on which a barcode is printed in advance. The configuration of the above device is the same as that of the application example 1 described above. The ROM stores a program corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG. The processing executed based on the above flow chart in the configuration of the embodiment of the printer with bar code reader shown in FIG. 3 will be described. First, the paper is manually or automatically set in the cut sheet feeder 54 of the printer with bar code reader 53 (step 91), and the paper on which the bar code is printed in advance is placed at the position of the bar code detecting section 41 for detecting the bar code. Paper is fed to the platen by the platen 49 (step 92), the bar code is read (step 93), and the print file stored in the RAM 73 or the flexible disk 63 in advance is searched by the read bar code. Then, it is judged whether or not the file is updated (step 94). If the file is not updated, the process proceeds to step 96. When updating the file, proceed to step 95, search the data corresponding to the bar code of the other print changing file, and update the print file according to the data. (Step 95) Go to Step 96. In step 96, the paper is fed by the platen 49 and the necessary items are impact-printed on the ribbon 52 from the CPU 71 via the input / output port 75 by the print head 51 of the printer with bar code reader 53 to the designated position. Then, the paper is ejected (step 97). Similarly, the processes of steps 91 to 97 are repeated.

As described above, when the printer with the barcode reader is used, when the barcode is printed on the paper in advance, the barcode is read to search for the related matters already registered and the processing is performed. Since the printing can be performed at the designated position, the trouble of manually arranging the above papers in the order of printing and setting them in the printer is completely eliminated. In addition, there is no waste of printing the specified paper by mistake and printing most of the paper again. It should be noted that this makes it possible to create medical and medical expenses payment application forms created by hospitals, clinics, clinics, and clinics. Print the patient code on the application form in advance, register the name, address, and insurance-related items in the patient master by batch processing, etc., print the contents on the above paper by batch processing, and mark the delegation. You can press and save it, and print out the contents of the medical treatment on the above paper at the beginning of the next month to complete it. As a result, the relevant items are retrieved and printed by the barcode code that has been printed in advance on the sheets that are arranged in no particular order, so it is not necessary to set the sheets to be printed in advance in order. .

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 Since the bar code reader is installed at the position to read the bar code on the paper set in the position of a normal printable printer, the bar code is read immediately after printing the bar code, and the bar code is read again. Can be printed, and the preprinted barcode can be read and the relevant items printed.

This noncontinuous media, bar code printers attached reader to read a bar code by bar code reader pen. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (A) , the bar code 88a, which is printed by arranging the bars in parallel with the paper feeding direction on the cut sheet paper 88, is scanned using the transfer of the cut sheet paper. I was taking to read by. Therefore, the bar code 88a is printed on the cut-sheet paper 88 by arranging the bars in parallel with the paper feed direction .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in FIG. 6A, the space where the barcode 88a is printed and the mark are printed. Since the space provided with the character column 88b overlaps in the paper feeding direction, the cut sheet 88 After scanning and scanning the bar code 88a, reverse the paper feed direction The paper 88 had to be returned to its original position. Therefore, the normal rotation in the paper feed direction In a general mass-production printer that cannot be reversed, cut sheet paper 89 as shown in FIG. I had no choice but to use. That is, on the cut-sheet paper 89, the barcode 89a is printed. The space to be used must be at least the length of each bar of the barcode 89a. Moreover, since the print column 89b cannot be provided here, the cut sheet 89 I had to waste space. Therefore, especially as a single-cut sheet, medical treatment If you try to apply for a payment application, the application will be stamped when you submit it to the competent government agency. You need to remove the bar code that is written, so the wasteful space will be large. Then, the part to be cut out becomes large, resulting in high cost. It was.

There was a problem that it had to be printed and described.

In order to solve the above problems, it is possible to eliminate a wasteful space for printing a bar code and to print the data of a specific patient according to each application form for a plurality of application forms arranged in no particular order. The purpose is to provide an application for the provision of medical and medical expenses.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

To solve the above problems, medical care expenses paid application of the present invention is the printer touch scanner is supported by the posture capable of reading bar code that is printed side by side in a direction orthogonal to the paper feeding direction a medical medical expenses paid application as noncontinuous media used, as the patient code representing a particular patient, each in a direction orthogonal to the paper feed direction of the printer at the upper position of the cut sheet paper a bar code that is printed side by side bars, than the printing position of the bar code at the noncontinuous media provided at a lower position, because the insurance relationship matters the patient based on the patient code printed by the printer and insurance related matters printed column, than the printing position of the bar code at the noncontinuous media provided at a lower position, the pre and treatment contents for that patient based on the patient code And treatment contents print column for printing by data, than the printing position of the bar code at the noncontinuous media provided at a lower position, in order to seal together to fill the fact that the patient delegate receipt of medical expenses The gist is to have at least the delegation section of .

[0007]

[Action]

In the medical and medical expenses payment application with the above configuration, the touch scanner should be set in the paper feeding direction. Then, the barcodes printed side by side in a direction orthogonal to each other are supported in a posture in which they can be read. It is used for a printer that has been created.

Since the bar code as a patient code printed on the medical and medical expenses payment application of the present invention is printed by arranging the bars in a direction orthogonal to the paper feeding direction , each bar is parallel to the paper feeding direction. The space for printing the barcode is reduced compared to the case where the are printed side by side .

When the medical and medical expenses payment application form of the present invention is set in the printer as a single-cut sheet , first, the touch scanner provided in the printer is used as a patient code bar printed on the front side in the paper feeding direction. Read the code. Then, the data of the patient is collated. After the insurance related matters printed column provided at the lower position, the practitioner contents printed column is the paper feed to a position opposite the printing head than the barcode printing position, printing the relevant matters.

The patient fills in and stamps that he / she will delegate the receipt of medical expenses.
