Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speed up page turning operation by a method wherein a passbook is conveyed and a top printing page of one side of the passbook being sprung on a friction roller, which a pressure roller comes into contact with and separates from, is reversed so as to place it on a top printing page of the opposite side. SOLUTION: A passbook 1 conveyed by a conveying roller 3, when its head part passes the position of a rolling friction roller 7 and arrives at the position of a sensor 17, is conveyed for a predetermined distance, and stopped. Then, a pressure roller 8 is raised so as to pinch the passbook 1 with the rolling friction roller 7. By a low speed rotation of the rolling friction roller 7 in the clockwise direction, a right side top printing page of the passbook 1 is curved. Thereafter, when the rolling friction roller 7 is rotated at a high speed, the turned top printing page is sprung. When this operation is detected by a sensor 16, the rolling friction roller 7 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction and the page turning operation is completed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of controlling a page turning operation of a printer for performing printing while inserting a passbook and turning a printed page.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a characteristic diagram showing an example of the operation of a page turning motor of a conventional passbook printer.

A conventional method of controlling the page turning operation of a printer in which a passbook is inserted and printing is performed while turning the printed pages, a passbook inserted in the printer is moved to a predetermined position of a page turning mechanism section by a conveying roller and a tension roller. After being conveyed, the pressure roller is raised and the passbook is pressed by the rotary friction roller, and as shown in FIG. 5, the page turning motor is accelerated (first acceleration region 31) to a low speed L (constant speed). In the high speed region 32), only one printed page of the passbook is curved and separated by the rotating friction roller to temporarily stop the page turning motor (first deceleration area 33 and stop area 34), and then accelerate the page turning motor again. The printed page separated by curving by setting the second acceleration region 35 to a constant speed of the high speed H (the second constant velocity region 36) should be flipped up and turned by the transmissive sensor. After confirming that the page has been wound up to a predetermined position and completely separated from other printed pages, the page turning motor is decelerated (second deceleration area 37) and stopped to end the page turning operation. I am letting you.

[0004]

As described above, in the page turning operation of the conventional passbook printer, the page turning motor is temporarily stopped after being kept at a constant low speed, and then the page turning motor is accelerated again to increase the speed. Since the two-step operation of holding at a constant speed and stopping again is performed, there is a problem that the control of the operation sequence is complicated and the processing speed is slow.

[0005]

A method for controlling page turning operation of a passbook printer according to the present invention is such that a printed page of a passbook is conveyed on a conveyance path in an opened state and a predetermined position is detected by a first sensor. Stop, and the solenoid is operated to raise the pressure roller to pinch the passbook with the friction roller, and rotate the friction roller at a low speed in a predetermined direction to print the uppermost one side of the passbook. The page is curved to separate it from the second and subsequent printed pages, and then the friction roller is rotated at a high speed in the predetermined direction so that the uppermost printed page of the passbook is splashed on the friction roller. After the friction roller is stopped by raising and detecting by the second sensor, the passbook is conveyed by rotating the friction roller in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction. It includes that placed on the printing page of the uppermost opposite inverts the printing page of the top of one side of the passbook splashed on the friction roller.
