Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to the production of magnetic price tags in the form of single tickets in which product information is magnetically recorded and printed on a magnetic roll paper having a magnetic stripe. .

[Background of the invention]

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 50-28944 discloses a prior art technique for creating product tags by magnetically printing product information, but this product processing machine records and prints continuously. It does not have the function of sharply cutting the created product tag one by one with a cutter, and only the function of dividing it into a group of continuous papers is mentioned. Also, there is no mention of whether or not there is a continuous tag that causes loss during startup. For this reason, it is thought that no measures have been taken to prevent losses that occur during startup. [Objective of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to prevent magnetic price tags from generating losses during startup due to transportation of magnetic price tags. The purpose is to provide the same number of magnetic price tags as possible.

[Summary of the invention]

After magnetic price tag creation is completed, continuous magnetic roll paper is conveyed to the cutter section and left unattended on the conveyance path.However, in the present invention, the magnetic roll paper in this part is first processed by the magnetic recording section. After rewinding the paper up to that point, it is possible to perform magnetic recording while transporting the paper in the forward direction, or, conversely, to perform magnetic recording without rewinding, thereby eliminating the loss of the magnetic roll paper existing in the above-mentioned portion.

The magnetic roll paper 2 is set on the supply reel 5-1, and the magnetic roll paper 2 is transferred to the cutter 6-1 by the conveyance rollers 4-1 to 4-4.
Product information is magnetically recorded on the magnetic roll paper 2 by the magnetic head 5-1 while the paper is being conveyed until the paper is transported. The presser roller 5-2 functions to press the magnetic roll paper 2 against the magnetic head 5-1 with a constant pressure (for example, 500 IP) to perform stable magnetic recording.

The cutter 6-1 cuts the magnetic roll paper 2 on which magnetic recording has been completed into magnetic price tags 1 of one fixed length. Reel 3-
The conveyance between the cutter 6-1 and the cutter 6-1 is carried out in an intermittent manner, in that it moves during magnetic recording and stops when the cutter 6-1 is cutting.

Further, the reel 3-1 and the conveyance rollers 4-1 to 4-4 are each driven by a drive circuit 5-2, 4-7, and both can rotate in forward and reverse directions. The magnetic helad 5-3 is electrically given product information by a magnetic writing circuit 5-5. The buffer circuit 5-4 is a circuit that temporarily stores product information, and has the function of replacing product information with digital signals and rearranging them for reverse magnetic recording and forward magnetic recording.

The magnetic price tag 1 cut into single tickets by the cutter 6-1 is printed with 1-1 on the upper part of the magnetic price tag 1 by the print head 14-1.
The print head 14-2 prints the print 1-2 on the lower stage, and generally a wire dot type print head is used. The print drive circuit 14-5 has a function of temporarily storing product information and converting it into an electrical signal. Rollers 7-1 to 7-6
The drive circuit 7- conveys the magnetic price tag 1 at a constant speed.
8. The magnetic price tag 1 that has been printed is separated by the switching vane 8-1 into the magnetic price tag 1 that was not successfully created and the abnormal magnetic price tag 11 that was not created correctly due to some kind of failure, and the drive circuit 8-2 driven by il
Ru.

The edge-filling roller 9-1 stably accommodates and scrapes the magnetic price tag 1 into the accept stacker 15, and is driven by a drive circuit 9-2. Each drive circuit 3-2
~9-2 are connected to the pass line 15 and control circuit 10
controlled by Product information is pre-inputted into the floppy disk 11, and by operating the input/output control section 12 for creating magnetic price tags, an operator controls starting and stopping for the number of magnetic price tags.

Figure 4 shows the operation when magnetic roll paper is conveyed only in the forward direction and magnetic recording is performed.Loss magnetic price tag 1-1
The occurrence of 00 will be explained below.

This is a case where the present invention is not implemented without the buffer circuit according to the present invention.

Time "r" indicates the state immediately before the completion of creating the magnetic price tag 1 for product information NA-Nz, and the magnetic roll paper 2 has been conveyed to the cutter 6-1.

A dashed-dotted line 2-10 is an imaginary line for the purpose of making the explanation easier to understand, and shows the place to be cut by the cutter 6-1, thereby showing the process of making a magnetic price tag in the form of a single ticket.

Time T indicates immediately after the start of processing for the number of magnetic price tags via the input/output control unit 12, and indicates that magnetic recording of the first information 1a of product information 1a to 1z has begun. To make the explanation easier to understand, magnetic recording is not visible, but is shown in text as shown in this figure. At time T3, the magnetic recording of the product information 1a to 1z is finished, the remaining magnetic price tag 1-100 is cut with the cutter 6-1, and the magnetic recording of the first information 2a of the next product information 2a to 2z is started. Indicates the state in which Note that the arrow ← indicates the conveyance direction of the magnetic roll paper.

At time T4, magnetic recording of the magnetic price tags of the next product information 5a to 5z is started. It is not printed on the magnetic price tag 1-100.

At time T, magnetic recording of the magnetic price tags of the next product information 4a to 4z has started, and at this time, the magnetic roll paper 2 magnetically recorded at time T has completed printing on the cut ticket. It has also become

As explained above, it can be seen that the magnetic roll paper 1-100 located between the cutter 6-1 and the magnetic head 5-1 is lost immediately before the production of the magnetic price tag is started.
