【発明の詳細な説明】
〔発明の目的〕
（産業上の利用分野）
この発明は、マルチストライクリボンを使用するプリン
ターのインクリボン送り機構に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to an ink ribbon feeding mechanism for a printer using a multi-strike ribbon.
（従来の技術）

４図に示すようにインクリボン１を有効に使用するため
印字文字の一部が重なるように打刻するマルチストライ
クリボンを使用している。(Prior art) Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 4, ink ribbon feeding in medium- to high-speed printers uses a multi-strike ribbon that embodies printed characters so that some of them overlap in order to use the ink ribbon 1 effectively. ing.
このため印字品質が悪化するという欠点があった。For this reason, there was a drawback that print quality deteriorated.
マルチストライクではなくワンタイムリボンを使用する
と、印字文字が重ならないようにリボンを送るため、リ
ボンの寿命が短か（なる。If a one-time ribbon is used instead of a multi-strike ribbon, the ribbon is fed so that the printed characters do not overlap, which may shorten the life of the ribbon.

る。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a multi-strike ribbon feed rate in which the ribbon feed rate is set so that a portion of the printed characters overlaps the ribbon, by the initial setting of the printer or by external control. The present invention is designed to improve printing quality by allowing selection of a feeding amount similar to that of a one-time ribbon, which is a feeding amount that prevents printed characters from overlapping each other on the ribbon.
以下、この発明の一実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
第１図はこの発明の一実施例を示すものである。FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.

レ／イド５と同期して送られる。The ink ribbon 1 is fed in synchronization with the hammer slide 5 by rotating a drive gear 10 by driving a pulse motor 9 and rotating a gear 8 in conjunction with this.

れる。This feeding of the ink ribbon 1 is performed using the normal feeding position setting signal S1.
When the signal enters the pulse generating circuit 11, it is sent to the pulse motor 9 via the amplifier 12. Then, the pulse motor 9 is set by the feed position setting signal S to drive the feed of the ink ribbon 1 at a speed at which the printed characters are imprinted on the ink ribbon 1 so that a portion of the printed characters overlap (the speed of the multi-strunk ribbon). .

。Next, when the feed position setting signal S2 for improving print quality enters the pulse generation circuit 11 due to initial settings of the printer or manual operation from the outside, it is sent to the pulse motor 9 via the amplifier 12. Then, the drive amount of the pulse motor 9 increases, and the feed position setting signal S1 is set to drive the feed of the ink ribbon 1 at a speed (one-time ribbon speed) at which printed characters do not overlap on the ink ribbon 1.

送り量を変化できるようにしてもよい。This improves print quality. (See Fig. 3) The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, as in a typewriter, a cam rotates and a pawl is actuated by the movement of a carriage. In a device that rotates a ratchet wheel for feeding the ink ribbon, the amount of feed of the ink ribbon may be changed by changing the cam and changing the amount of operation of the pawl.

ボンの消費量の削減をできるという効果がある。As described above, according to the present invention, the feeding amount of the ink ribbon can be set to the feeding amount at which a part of the printed characters overlaps on the ink ribbon, and the feeding amount at which the printed characters do not overlap, which is particularly important. In the case of text, it prints with improved print quality, and if it is not very important text, it prints with normal print quality, reducing ribbon consumption and increasing efficiency (improving print quality because it can print This has the effect of reducing ink ribbon consumption.
