Abstract

PURPOSE:To correct the skewed paper when the paper is fed or when the continuous paper is used, freely rotate the paper, and simply print characters at an optional angle by pinching the paper with spherical rollers from above and below, and feeding the paper via the rotation of the rollers. CONSTITUTION:The printing paper 2 can be freely moved in the horizontal and vertical directions by two spherical rollers 1. When the revolving speeds of two spherical rollers 1 differ, the printing paper 2 can be rotated at an optional angle. The angle of the printing paper 2 can be intentionally changed for obliquely printing characters. When the printing paper 2 is inevitably skewed, it is detected, and the printing paper 2 can be returned to the original angle. When the printing paper 2 of a large size is used for printing, a paper winding mechanism 5 is provided on a printer, and printing can be made with no limitation on the paper size.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, when the paper is slanted at the time of feeding,
There was a problem that it had to be replaced.
In addition, when using continuous paper, even if the paper is slightly inclined, the position of the paper will gradually shift while it is being fed. There was a problem that it had to be used. Further, since the cylindrical roller is used, there is a problem that the width of the roller limits the width of usable paper. Further, when printing diagonal characters on paper, there is a problem in that the character data must be processed diagonally on software and then printed.

Therefore, the present invention solves these problems, and an object of the present invention is to have a mechanism capable of compensating for a skewed sheet at the time of sheet feeding or continuous sheet use. Is. Also, due to the spherical roller,
Since the paper can be freely moved not only in one direction but also in two directions (xy directions), it is possible to eliminate the limitation on the paper size. Furthermore, since the paper can be freely rotated,
It is possible to easily print characters at any angle.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a single-cut sheet is used, and the printing paper 1 can be freely moved in the vertical and horizontal directions by two spherical rollers 1. Further, by making the rotational speeds of the two spherical rollers 1 different, the printing paper 1 can be rotated at any angle. This is because it is possible to intentionally change the angle of the printing paper 1 for printing characters diagonally, and at the same time detect that the printing paper 1 is skewed by force majeure and restore it to the original angle. It is also possible. Further, when printing on a large size printing paper 1, the paper winding mechanism 5
By providing the printer in the printer, it is possible to print without limiting the paper size.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which continuous paper is used. The difference from the structure of a conventional printer is that the spherical roller of the present invention is used as a paper feeding mechanism and that a tractor unit is not provided. . When printing on continuous paper 4,
The print position gradually shifts. When the positional deviation is detected, the rotational speeds of the two spherical rollers 1 are made different to correct the original position. Therefore, by using the spherical roller 1 of the present invention, a tractor unit is unnecessary.
