Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a digital printer used for electrical measuring instruments and the like.

When printing out a large number of measurement data using a digital printer, a serial number is usually printed at the same time as a heading for each data item to make it easier to organize the data later. However, it was actually quite difficult to read.

On the other hand, it is also known that index marks are placed on the recording paper at predetermined intervals, for example, every multiple of 5. In this case, the index marks are placed against the print head every time printing starts. The operation is troublesome because the position must be initialized.

Furthermore, when a missing print portion occurs, a number misalignment occurs between the heading mark and the title, rendering it useless as a heading.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide heading marks to facilitate the organization of printed items.
An object of the present invention is to provide a digital printer that can be reliably attached in relation to printed data.

This invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

This digital printer has an input terminal 1 into which measurement data from a measuring device (not shown) is input.
is connected to a known printer circuit 2.

This printer circuit 2 outputs a print signal to a print head 3, which causes the print head 3 to print out measurement data 7 in a series of columns on a strip-shaped recording paper 4 that is sequentially fed. There is.

In this case, this digital printer has a printed circuit 2
A counting circuit 5 is provided for counting the number of times measurement data has been printed from , and the count value of this counting circuit 5 is output to a determiner 6 .

This determiner 6 has a preset value (5 in this embodiment) set in advance from a manual setting circuit (not shown) via a set value input terminal 10.

), and determines whether the counted value of the counting circuit 5 is a multiple of this set value, and if the counted value is not a multiple of 5, prints this counted value before the measurement data.
On the other hand, when the counted value is a multiple of 5, a second print signal is outputted to the printed circuit 2 to cause the counted value to be further added with a heading mark and printed.

Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a continuous serial number 8 determined from the count value of the counting circuit 5 is printed on each measurement date, and a multiple of 5 of this continuous serial number is printed on each measurement date. A heading mark (-) 9 is also printed on the number corresponding to .

By adding this heading mark (-), you can more quickly pick up the desired measurement data from among a large number of printed measurement data compared to the conventional method using only continuous serial numbers. .

Note that the counting circuit 5 and the determining device 6 can be configured by a microcomputer, and the determining device 6 has an arbitrary setting value (for example, the number of lots of the object to be measured, etc.).

) can be set. As is clear from the above description of the embodiment, according to this invention, when printing out a large number of measurement data in series, index marks can be printed together with the measurement data every predetermined multiple.

Therefore, the printed data becomes easier to read, and since index marks are automatically added, the initial position setting for the print head is not necessary, unlike conventional recording paper that has index marks attached in advance. Printing can be started from any position without having to do so, which is convenient for operation.
