Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printing device used in an information processing system, and particularly to a printing device for an information processing system that can guarantee continuity of printing paper.

Conventionally, high-speed printing devices used in information processing systems have a mechanism to detect when paper runs out, but the printing paper used before paper runout is detected and the printing paper that is reset after paper runout is detected. They had no means to show continuity between them.

For this reason, if particularly necessary, the page numbers were displayed by printing them out using a program.

So if your program doesn't support it,
There is a drawback in that it takes time to adjust the printed sheets that have been cut and outputted due to paper shortage after the job is finished in the order in which they were outputted.

Furthermore, when multiple jobs were performed, it was even more difficult to organize them.

If the program supports this, the computer processing time increases accordingly, resulting in a decrease in system efficiency.

The purpose of this invention is to make it easier to organize the printing paper after a job is completed by stamping information indicating continuity on the printing paper that has been separated due to paper shortage, and to use it in an information processing system that does not cause a decrease in system efficiency. The purpose is to provide a printing device.

A printing device for an information processing system using the present invention includes a paper out detection circuit, a counting circuit that counts each time a paper out state signal is output from the paper out detection circuit, and a counting circuit that counts each time a paper out state signal is output from the paper out state signal. The machine includes a mechanism for stamping a numerical value according to the count value of the counting circuit.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

When the paper out detection circuit 10 detects a paper out state, a paper out state signal a is supplied to the first comparison circuit 12.

In such a state, the high-speed printing device is in a busy state, so when a stop button (not shown) on the operation panel is pressed to enter the stop state, a stop state signal is sent from the operation panel circuit 11 to the first comparison circuit 12. is output.

The first comparator circuit 12 receives both the paper out state signal a and the stop state signal S, so that the counting circuit 1
A first embossing command signal C is supplied to 5.

The counting circuit 15 counts this first engraving command signal C, outputs a counted value d and an embossing signal e, and causes the embossing mechanism 16 to embove a numerical value corresponding to the counted value d onto the printing paper.

In response to the first stamping command signal C, the memory circuit 13 stores that the last page of the printing paper has been stamped, and outputs an stamped signal f.

Next, when the printing paper is reset, the paper out detection circuit 10
A paper normal state signal g is outputted from.

Furthermore, when a start button (not shown) on the operation panel is pressed, a start state signal is output from the operation panel circuit 11.

The second comparator circuit 14 supplies a second embossing command signal i to the counting circuit 15 in response to being supplied with the embossing command signal f, the paper normal state signal g, and the start state signal r.

In response to being supplied with the second embossing command signal i, the counting circuit 15 operates the embossing mechanism 16 by performing the same operation as when the first embossing command signal C described above was supplied. engraved with a numerical value.

The memory circuit 13 releases the memory in response to the second stamping command signal i, and erases the stamped signal.

In the above description of the embodiment, an example was shown in which the counting circuit 15 counts using the first stamping command signal C and the second stamping command signal i, but it is also possible to count only one of the stamping command signals. Even if the printing paper is out of paper, a serial number can be stamped on the printing paper in response to the paper running out, and the continuity of the printing paper that has been cut due to the paper running out can be guaranteed.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the serial number is stamped on both the last page and the first page of the printing paper, but if it is stamped on either the first page or the last page, , the circuit configuration becomes even simpler.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example was shown in which the memory circuit 13 was provided separately, but it can also be configured by including it in the counting circuit 15.

As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that the continuity of the printing paper can be guaranteed by automatically stamping serial numbers on the printing paper using the signal from the printing paper out detection circuit.
