Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an output device, particularly a recording paper cutting device in a device using roll paper such as a facsimile, various printers, and an electronic blackboard device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The output method used in the conventional output device is one of the following.

(1) A recording paper of a plurality of sizes housed in a cassette or the like is built in, and outputs of a plurality of sizes can be obtained.

(2) A roll-shaped recording paper is used, and only an output having a constant width can be obtained.

At present, the method according to (1) is mainly used for copying machines and various printers. In this method, the size of the recording paper can be selected as needed. However, there is a problem that a large installation place is required to store multiple cassettes in the device and the device cost is high. For this reason, the method (2) is often adopted in a facsimile, an electronic blackboard device, etc., which requires a compact output device. For plain paper such as high-quality paper, the method (1) is not a problem, but for various printers that use materials such as special films and photographic paper that are difficult to insert in a single form ( The method of 2) is taken.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when using roll-shaped recording paper as in (2), the roll must be replaced every time the output size is changed. This is not as easy as swapping cassettes. Therefore, most of the output devices using the method of (2) are pre-loaded with the roll paper with the largest width among the paper sizes that can be output. Therefore, only one width of output can be obtained at all times. Even if it is desired to output to A4 size, for example, if the loaded roll paper is B4 size, it is impossible to obtain A4 size output. . When saving the output document, for example, if you want to save it as an A4 file, fold the B4 width edge, cut it to A4 width with scissors, or copy it to A4 size paper again. I had to.

As described above, according to the present invention, an original output on a roll-shaped recording paper can be bound together with other originals, or can be stored as it is, so that the recording paper is not loaded. An object of the present invention is to provide a recording paper cutting device that can obtain a desired width of output.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a recording paper cutting device of an output device using a roll-shaped recording paper, a control unit for controlling information of an original document to be recorded, a motor driven by obtaining the width information of the original document from the control unit, and its It has a worm gear that transmits rotation in a direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction, and a first cutter unit that moves to the width position of the document and cuts the recording paper in a direction parallel to the paper feed direction. The second cutter unit cuts the entire width of the recording paper in a direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction by obtaining the document end information from the control unit.

[0009]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, the recording information output from the outside is controlled by the control unit. First, the width information of the document to be recorded is output to the motor to control its rotation. Subsequently, the worm gear that is interlocked with the motor moves the first cutter unit in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction to obtain the width position of the document. Further, the first cutter unit cuts the recording paper in the direction parallel to the paper feeding direction. That is, the recording paper is cut according to the size and width of the original.

Further, the paper feeding is also controlled by the control unit. When the end information of the document is output to the second cutter unit, the entire width of the recording paper is cut in the direction perpendicular to the paper feeding direction, and the output ends.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the recording paper cutting device of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an embodiment of a recording paper cutting device of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the control of the recording paper cutting device of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a facsimile machine. Facsimile is connected by calling the communication line. The control unit 2 receives the record information 10 from the transmission source 1 when the line is connected. First, the control unit 2 outputs the recording paper width information 11 to the motor 3. The rotational movement of the motor 3 is transmitted by the worm gear 4 in the direction perpendicular to the paper feeding direction, and moves the first cutter unit 5 to a desired paper width position. Subsequently, the control device 2 outputs the recording data 12 for one line from the line to the recording head 6 such as a thermal head. When the recording head 6 records one line of data on the recording paper, the control device 2 then outputs the paper feed information 13 for one line to the paper feeding device 7. As a result, the paper feeding device 7 feeds one line of paper. The first cutter unit 5 cuts the recording paper in the direction parallel to the paper feeding direction by the amount of the feeding.

By repeating the above operation, the record information 10 of the transmission source 1 is output on a recording sheet of a desired size. Finally, the control device 2 outputs the end information 14 of the recording data to the second cutter unit 8, and the second cutter unit 8 cuts the entire width of the recording paper in the direction perpendicular to the paper feeding direction.

As described above, in the present embodiment, two cutting devices are provided in the first cutter unit 5 and the second cutter unit 8, but two cutting means are provided by one cutting device. It is also possible to control

Further, in the present embodiment, the case of a facsimile in which the size information of the recording paper is obtained from the outside has been described. However, similar cutting devices can be installed in other output devices. For example, in the case of an electronic blackboard device, the person who operates the device determines the desired size of the recording paper.Therefore, an operation key for preselecting the size of the recording paper is provided on the operation panel, and the cutting device is operated by the operation key. Can be controlled. Also, various printers can be controlled by operating the terminal.

Next, a control flow of this embodiment is shown in FIG.

When the processing is started by calling the communication line, the line connection is awaited in step 101. When the line is connected, the size of the recording paper, that is, the width information of the desired recording paper is recognized in step 102, and the first cutter unit is moved in step 103 to control the cutting of the width of the recording paper. In step 104, one line of print is output, and in step 105, one line of paper feed is output. It is determined in step 106 whether or not to end the above operation. If NO is determined here, the process returns to step 104. If YES is determined, the entire width of the recording paper is cut in step 107, and the output to the recording paper is finished in step 108.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 As described above in detail, according to the present invention, regarding the output to the roll-shaped recording paper, the cutting means is also provided in the width direction of the size of the paper to be output without reloading the recording paper. You can get the desired width of output.

Therefore, when the output recording paper is stored, it is not necessary to cut an extra portion with scissors or to recopy the recording paper to a paper of a desired size. Also, ordinary office work such as binding together with other manuscripts can be easily performed.
