Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Field of Invention >> This invention mainly relates to an output form suitable for searching for a misprinted NIP machine.

<< Conventional technology and its problems >> Conventionally, for example, when a large amount of direct mail is made by a life insurance company or a financial institution, it is divided into a plurality of pieces of paper,
In addition, a sheet-cutting form in which each divided piece of paper is used as a postcard is printed in large quantities at high speed using a NIP machine (non-impact printer) capable of high-speed printing of 10,000 lines or more per minute. After that, it was formed into a postcard by sheet cutting and sent to the customer.

By the way, the NIP machine irradiates a selenium drum with a laser beam or the like to electrically neutralize the irradiated portion, adheres and melts the charged toner in this portion, and transfers this toner to a sheet cutting form. However, if scratches or irregularities occur on the surface of the selenium drum, so-called double feeding may occur or printing may be disturbed, resulting in printing errors.

However, if a postcard is sent to a customer as a misprint, the intended content will be misrepresented to the recipient in spite of the direct mail that took a lot of time and money, Therefore, the recipient often receives a complaint inquiry or the like, and there is a problem that the original transmission purpose cannot be achieved.

Therefore, when the above misprint is found, it is necessary for the sender to immediately search for the NIP machine that caused the error, investigate the cause, and correct it. Since a large number of NIP machines are usually used for printing on a postcard to be printed, it has not been possible to easily find out which NIP machine has printed the misprinted postcard.

Therefore, a large number of NIP machines have to be stopped one by one and searched again, and this search work is very labor-intensive, and there is a problem that the printing work efficiency is reduced.

<Purpose of Invention> This invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the purpose of this invention is to output a form for output that can easily and quickly search for a printer that has caused a misprint. To provide.

<< Constitution and effect of device >> This device is a form for sheet cutting, which is divided into a plurality of paper pieces in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, and each divided paper piece is used as a postcard, It is characterized in that a number which is the same as the number of the printer for printing and which is composed of hidden characters is attached to each sheet of the above-mentioned form.

According to such a configuration, the same number as the number given to each printer is attached to each sheet of the form, so if a misprint is found in the postcard, it is attached to each postcard. By searching for the printer with the same number as the existing number, you can immediately and quickly find only the printer that has made a mistake, and you can perform appropriate processing, resulting in excellent workability. .

Moreover, since the number is formed of hidden characters, it has the effect of not being visually perceived by the recipient and not impairing the appearance of the postcard.

<< Description of Embodiments >> Hereinafter, an example in which an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a NIP machine will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of an output form 1 for an NIP machine according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, this form 1 is
A rectangular sheet-cut sheet of A4 size, and cut lines 1 and 2 are provided along each vertical bisector of two adjacent edges thereof.

These cutting lines 1 and 2 are used for the paper pieces 1a, 1b, 1c,
1d is for dividing each into a postcard size, and may be printed as the cutting lines 1 and 2 in advance, may be formed by perforations, or may not be particularly printed.

Then, each of the paper pieces 1a to 1d is provided with a number 2 such as "00001" as a hidden character in a blank portion which does not interfere with printing, for example, in the lower right position of each paper piece as illustrated.

That is, this number 2 is the same as the number given to the NIP machine used, and each of the paper pieces 1a to 1d.
In order not to be seen from the outside at first glance, unevenness 2a, 2d as shown in FIG. 2 is formed in the character portion without using ink or the like to form a hidden character. Note that the hidden character number 2 attached to each piece of paper can be anything that does not obscure the eyes and can be seen at a glance, so the letters are colored by printing with fluorescent ink or by heating or wetting with water. Needless to say, it may be a means of raising the surface at least.

Next, a method of using the output form according to the present invention will be described.

A large number of forms 1 ... Having a common number 2 attached to each of the paper pieces 1a to 1d are stacked and housed in a cardboard box (not shown) or the like for packaging. On the outside of the cardboard box, the same number as the number 2 attached to each of the paper sheets 1a to 1d of the output form 1 is written or affixed, and the printer for printing the output form 1 is printed. The same number is attached to the side beforehand.

Therefore, the output form 1 is set on the NIP machine having the same number, printing is performed in the same manner as in the conventional case, and after the output, sheet cutting is performed, and each piece of paper 1a.
1d is divided and used as a postcard.

If you find a postcard with a misprint before sending the postcard or after being notified by the recipient, etc., check the number 2 attached to the postcard, and the same number as this number is attached. Search for NIP machines.

At this time, the postcard printed out and the printed NI
Since it has the same number as that of the P machine, the corresponding NIP machine can be searched very easily, and the correction of the error occurrence point can be immediately started.

In this way, according to the present invention, when a misprint is found, the printed NIP machine can be immediately searched by the number attached to each sheet of the form, and the location of the error can be corrected quickly. And the printing work efficiency can be dramatically improved.

Further, since the number is attached as a hidden character, it has an effect that it does not obstruct the appearance and does not impair the appearance.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the application form of the present application is applied to the NIP machine is shown, but it is needless to say that the application can be applied to the impact type printer.
