Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable accurate line alignment at the position corresponding to the intention of an operator, by performing positional line alignment by the line aligning information inputted from an operation part. CONSTITUTION:A printing apparatus 1 consists of an operation part 2 of a ten- key, a printing part 3 for performing the sucking and discharge of paper, a new line and printing and a control part 4 for controlling the operation art and the printing part. The control part 4 monitors the input from the operation part through a signal line 10, the insert of the paper through a signal line 11 and the sucking of the paper to a constant position through a signal line 14. Therefore, when an operator remembers the new line number inputted from the operation part and the paper is inserted, the paper is automatically sucked to a predetermined position and the new line corresponding to the alreadly stored line number is further performed while the discharge of the paper and line alignment in one line unit can be performed and accurate line alignment can be performed at the position corresponding to the intension of the operator only on the side of the printing apparatus.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] object of invention The present invention relates to a printing device.

Conventional technology When a conventional printing device detects the insertion of paper, it automatically sucks the paper into a predetermined position, sends alignment information input from an input mechanism to a processing device, and prints out a message processed by the processing device. a printing device (hereinafter referred to as type 1) that receives the message, and inserts a line break and aligns the paper according to the line feed instruction in the message;
There is a printing device (hereinafter referred to as type 2) in which an operator visually aligns sheets using a reference line provided on the printing device as a guide, without relying on instructions from a processing device.

Type 1 printing devices align the sheets according to instructions from the processing device, so the processing device needs a line management function, and type 2 printing devices require the operator to visually check the line using the reference line as a guide. Since alignment is performed by , there is a problem that accurate alignment cannot be performed.

Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a printing device that accurately aligns the line to the position intended by the operator, without placing a burden on the processing device for line management. Our goal is to provide the following.

A feature of the present invention for the above purpose is that the alignment information inputted from the operation section is used to accurately align the alignment at the position intended by the operator, without relying on instructions from the processing device. .

EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION AND THEIR EFFECTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a printing device which is an embodiment of the present invention. The printing device 1 also includes an operating section 2 such as a numeric keypad 5, a printing section 6 that performs paper intake, ejection, line feed, printing, etc., and a control section 4 that controls the operating section and the printing section. The control section monitors the input from the operating section through the signal path 10, the insertion of the paper through the signal path 11, and the suction of the paper to a fixed position through the signal path 14.

In this state, the operator inputs from the operation unit the number of lines to be line-feeded from the state where the paper is in the normal position in order to align the paper lines at an arbitrary position. The input number of rows is transmitted to the control section through a signal path and stored in the control section. Next, when paper is inserted by the operator, the sensor 6 detects the presence of paper,
The signal is transmitted to the control section through the signal path 11.

As a result, the control unit starts sucking the paper by rotating the drive roller 7 through the signal path 12, and upon receiving the paper presence signal from the sensor 8 through the signal path 14, stops the -carrying dry roller and sucks the paper. The paper is positioned at the first line printing position, and the drive roller is driven by the number of lines stored in the control unit again to complete line alignment of the paper.

After completing the sheet alignment, the control section operates the print head 9 via the signal line 13 to perform printing.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a processing method for correcting paper alignment. When the operator presses the numeric keypad, the number of line feeds is stored in the control section, and when paper is inserted, paper line alignment is performed.

When the eject key is pressed in this state, the paper is ejected and the process starts again without line alignment. Furthermore, pressing the + key causes a line feed in the suction direction, and pressing the - key causes a line feed in the ejection direction, thereby performing line alignment on a line-by-line basis.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the printing device of the present invention memorizes the number of line feeds input by the operator from the operation section, and when paper is inserted, automatically sucks it into a predetermined position, and Since line feeds are performed for the number of lines that have been memorized, paper is ejected, and line alignment is corrected line by line, the operator can accurately align lines at any desired position using only the printing device. can.
