Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate an empty sensor by providing a counter functioning on the detection signal from a sensor for detecting the near-end of roll paper to be employed as the medium in a ticket vendor. CONSTITUTION:When the end of roll paper 1 passes through a medium detector 7, the output signal 8 is detected at the control section 9. The control section 9 is preset with the usable amount after the detector 7 has detected the near end of the roll paper 1. With such arrangement, the control section 9 will command the alarm section 10 to produce the near end alarm while command to produce the empty alarm when the feeding amount has reached to predetermined level thus to stop the feeding of the roll paper 1.

Background Art Roll paper or the like is used as a medium in ticket issuing machines and the like. In this case, due to operational convenience, it is necessary to inform the operator of the near end of the medium and the empty state. In the prior art, these conditions are detected using two sensors, namely a near-end sensor and an empty sensor.

The conventional method of detecting the remaining amount of media using two detectors imposes a heavy burden on the hardware and also poses problems in terms of reliability. As a result of considering whether it is possible to distinguish between the two types of empty by combining the detectors into one and controlling the program, we found that with a device that can manage the amount of media consumed by a program, it is possible to know if the device is empty by managing the amount of media consumed after near-end detection. I understand. Therefore, empty detection is detected by a program.

Operation of the embodiment A certain amount of roll paper 1 is cut and consumed by the cutter 6 (when the end of the roll paper passes the medium detector 7, its output signal 8 is detected by the control unit 9. At this time, the control unit 9 instructs the alarm 10 to issue a near-end warning for the roll paper.The controller 9 is preset with the usable amount after the medium detector 7 detects the end of the roll paper.

When this feeding amount exceeds the usable amount, the control section 9 instructs the alarm section 10 to issue an alarm indicating that the roll paper is empty, and also stops the subsequent roll paper feeding operation. Since the remaining amount of roll paper can be managed by the control section 9, the alarm section 10 can also quantitatively display near-end information.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, since only one detector is required, the hardware cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the number of detectors with relatively poor reliability can be minimized, the reliability of the device can be increased. Furthermore, the near-end amount can be managed quantitatively.
