Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce an information inputting/outputting device that can be miniaturized by arranging a reading device, a printing device and a switching device that opposes one of the two devices always to a paper holding section on the same carriage. CONSTITUTION:The reading device 14 consists of a light emission element, a photodetector and optical fiber 38. Light from the light emission element irradiates a sheet of paper 6 through the optical fiber 38, and reflected light condensed at the reading point is absorbed by the photodetector through the optical fiber 38. Change-over switch keys 39 and 40 that switch the reading device 14 and a thermal head 20, a key 41 related to reading and a key 42 related to printing are arranged in front of the body 1. When the key 39 is depressed, the thermal head opposite to a platen 4 is changed to the reading device 14. When the key 40 is depressed, the reading device 14 opposite to the platen 4 is changed to the thermal head 20.

is pushed by one of the crab 1'' shaped portions 33R and 333L, so that the rotary plate 10 rotates. The reading 8ζ position 14 is composed of a light emitting element r (not shown), a light receiving element (not shown), and an optical fiber 38 (74). 6, the light is focused at the reading point (l! in the figure), and the I, J, and J lights are absorbed by the C light receiving element via the optical fiber 38.Then, depending on the amount of the regular light, the light? By flowing the R current from the light receiving element, it is possible to read the characters and graphic information on the paper 6. Assuming that both reading surfaces are 11 and 14, C is 4 per mm.

A rotary plate 10 comprising a J exchange device 411), and a spring 27 and a spring L constituting a positioning means for each rotary plate 10.
By arranging the small wheel 2 (3, groove 29, etc.) on the same key ridge 7, the paper holding section 2 is also unified, and small production
? It is possible to provide an information input/output device with 1fi III functionality. By using the positioning means for the switching means as described in Section 42, there will be no misalignment between the reading point of the reading device 14 and the printed dot of the TL-FULL bed 20 with respect to the paper 6, and the correct IITr. It is possible to read and print. FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, in d3, both layers of the reading device 46 (C11 has a legal head 47 having 4 print drivers 1 per 1 mm and 8 print drivers 1 per 1 mm (I!il) A) The thermal head 48 is disposed adjacent to the thermal head 48 (this is the same as in the previous embodiment, except that the switching means in the previous embodiment is changed to the following J and C). In this embodiment, the shaft 9, which is vertically mounted on the carriage 7, can be rotated by passing through the carriage 7. The reading device 40 and the rotating head 47.4 are placed on the rotating plate 10 together with the reading device 40 and the rotary head 47.4.
The reading device 4 is configured to be rotated by 8.
A drive motor device (not shown) is installed above the Kittridge 7 to rotate the N9 at a predetermined angle as a means for switching between the G and the two legal heads 4, 7, and 48. (If the drive motor station of A is
Rotating C1 cut 1g! Eka ii/, if moon sign. 1! liff,: When the key 49 located on the front side of the main body '1 is pressed, the reading device 4 is placed on the platen 4.
When G is in the direction of λ・1 and A--bO is pressed, the thermal head 47 with the print track I is facing, and when the key 51 is pressed, the printout is 4 per mm. The thermal head 48 covers the eight printing drivers I-, and when Ut-52 is pressed down, the reading device starts reading, and when it is pressed again, the reading ends. ,
When 4-53 is pressed, printing of the print IJf starts, and when pressed again, printing ends. In the above-mentioned second embodiment, the rotary plate 10 and the driving device 9 constituting one stage are mounted on the same carriage. 7, the same effect as in the previous embodiment can be obtained. Furthermore, the provision of two thermal heads (4, 7, 48) enables even higher quality printing. Furthermore, in the first and second implementations Il+ (previously), when the switching means is rotated, 1/10 is -I+ and the ridge 7 is moved or driven. However, in order to simplify the construction, the operator may manually switch and rotate the rotary plate 104, and the reading device 171 and the rotary plate 10 may be After being molded individually, they are hardened with silk,
When the reading device 14 and the rotary plate 10 are molded with resin, they can be integrally molded. ``Effect'' In the present invention, the reading device, the printing device, and the switching device that always faces one of the two heads to the paper holder are mounted on the same printer ridge. By placing it in place, it can be made smaller. I can provide it.
