2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a printer is known which prints a bar code used for managing a product code, a price, a customer number, etc. on a designated paper or the like.

[0003]

However, the bar code printed by the conventional printer may be unclearly printed due to the aging phenomenon of the printer ribbon. Therefore, after all printing is completed, the barcode reader is manually checked again by the barcode reader, the barcode sheet that cannot be read is removed, and a new barcode is newly created. There was a problem that had to be printed. Especially when printing serial number barcodes on multiple sheets of paper, it is necessary to replace the unclearly printed sheets with new barcodes and insert them in order between the original prints. was there.

Further, when printing other matters on a sheet on which a bar code and other matters are printed or described in advance, it is necessary to manually arrange the sheets in the order of printing in advance and set them in the printer. When printed on a sheet of paper that is arranged in the wrong order, all the matters on the paper must be printed and described again.

[0005]

The present invention has been made in order to solve these problems, and a bar code read check (hereinafter referred to as a read check) is performed immediately after the bar code is printed on a sheet. When a read error occurs, the read error display is displayed on the above paper or the display device, and the same bar code is printed again on the next paper, or the bar code is printed in advance. The present invention provides a printer for printing other items on a printed sheet by reading a bar code on the sheet, searching for the relevant item, updating, deleting, etc. For this reason, the printer of the present invention is a printer with a bar code reader, characterized in that at least a printer capable of bar code printing is provided with a bar code reader for reading the bar code on the paper set in the printing state. That is the summary.

The bar code on the paper set in the print state means the bar code preprinted on the paper or the bar code printed immediately before on the paper.

[0007]

The printer with a bar code reader configured as described above can read a bar code on a sheet set at a normal printable position. Therefore, the bar code reader of the above printer reads the bar code that has been printed by the printer or the bar code that has been printed in advance, and the bar code is printed if a read error occurs according to the judgment of the connected computer. The error is displayed on the paper by the printer, the same bar code is printed again on the next paper, and it is read again by the bar code reader. If there is no read error, the same process is performed on the next sheet. Further, when the barcode is printed on the paper in advance, the related items registered by the barcode are searched, processed, and printed at the designated position. Then, similar processing is repeated.

[0008]

The processing executed by the configuration of the embodiment of the printer with bar code reader shown in FIG. 3 will be described based on the above flow chart. 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 barcode is printed or the previously printed barcode was erroneous printing (step 83). If it is erroneous printing, the same barcode is printed again. Then, the process proceeds to step 86. If it is the first bar code or if the bar code was correctly printed 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 4 is moved to the position of the barcode detecting section 41 for detecting the barcode.
3 is fed. Next, the printed bar code on the paper 43 is read by 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). When the codes of the instruction bar code match, the process proceeds to step 89, and when they do not match, an error print is displayed on the paper 43 on which the bar code is printed (step 88). Further, 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 the printer with the barcode reader is used and the barcode printed by the printer is unclearly printed due to the aging phenomenon of the printer ribbon or the like, a lead check is performed immediately after the printing is finished to unclear. Is displayed on the display, etc., 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 performing a lead check, all printing is completed. After that, if only the paper on which the erroneous printing is displayed is extracted, the remaining printed matter is all the paper on which the clear barcode is printed. Conventionally, after all printing is completed, a barcode reader is used to check the barcode read, 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 particularly effective when printing serial number bar codes. Application Example 2 Next, in a computer device using the printer with a barcode reader, related items are printed on a sheet on which a barcode is printed in advance at a designated position on the sheet.
The configuration of the above device is the same as that of the application example 1 described above. R
The OM stores a program corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG. The processing executed by the configuration of the embodiment of the printer with barcode reader shown in FIG. 3 will be described based on the above flow chart. 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 moved to the position of the bar code detecting section 41 for detecting the bar code. The paper is fed by the platen 49 (step 92), the bar code is read (step 93), the print file stored in advance in the RAM 73 or the flexible disk 63 is searched by the read bar code, and the file It is determined whether or not to update (step 94). When the file is not updated, the process proceeds to step 96. When the file is updated, the process proceeds to step 95, the data corresponding to the code of the corresponding bar code in another print change file is searched, and the print file is updated according to the data (step 95) Go to step 96. In step 96, the paper is fed by the platen 49 and the required 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 repeatedly executed.

As described above, when the printer with bar code reader is used, when the bar code is printed on the paper in advance, the bar code is read to search for the related matters already registered and to perform processing. Since it is possible to print at a designated position by manually, the complexity of manually arranging the above-mentioned sheets in the order of printing in advance and setting them in the printer is completely eliminated. Further, there is an advantage that there is no waste of printing the designated paper by mistake and printing most of the paper again. By this, it is possible to create a medical and medical expenses payment application form created by a hospital, a doctor's office, a clinic, or a treatment center. The patient code is printed on the application form in advance, the name, address, and insurance-related items are registered in the patient master by batch processing, etc., and the details are printed on the above sheet by batch processing, and a delegation seal is also printed. You can press and save, and print the medical care contents on the above paper at the beginning of the next month to complete. As a result, the relevant items are searched and printed on the papers arranged in no particular order by the code of the pre-printed barcode, so that it is not necessary to set the papers to be printed in advance in order.

[0014]

Since the bar code reader is installed at the position for reading the bar code on the paper set at the position of the ordinary printable printer, the bar code is read immediately after the bar code is printed, The barcode can be printed again, or a previously printed barcode can be read and the corresponding items can be printed.
