Abstract

PURPOSE:To certainly perform the cycle setting of digital printing, by mounting an operation means for calculating a reference cycle from the recording paper delivery speed set by a setting means and discriminating whether the printing cycle set by the setting means is larger than the calculated cycle. CONSTITUTION:An operation means 4 calculates the number N of printing lines from the number of areas requiring digital printing and a printing format and calculates a necessary min. printing length L=NH from a character interval H and subsequently divides the min. printing length L by a recording paper delivery speed Cs to calculate a min. reference cycle L/Cs for preventing the superposition of printed characters. Then, it is discriminated whether printing cycle is T>NH>Cs, out only an alarm such that the setting of the printing cycle T is possible if the aforementioned formula is formed but also an alarm such that said setting is impossible if said formula is not formed are informed to an operator by a lamp or buzzer. By this method, the certain setting of a digital printing cycle is enabled and a printing result always easy to observe is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a recorder that performs digital printing as well as a plurality of analog records.

[Prior Art 1] In a so-called hybrid recorder that performs digital printing as well as analog recording of human input signals, the printing interval (period) of digital printing is usually fixed depending on the recording paper feeding speed. For example, if the recording paper feeding speed is 12
The time is fixed at 10 hours for mm/h and 1 hour for 120 m+/h or more.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, as shown in FIG. 3(b), when some data is digitally printed on the - line, or when the number of digitally printed data is small, the period of digital printing is can be short.

At this time, it is difficult to know to what extent the time interval and period can be shortened without overlapping digital printing, depending on the recording paper feeding speed.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a recorder in which the period of digital printing can be reliably set.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a recorder that takes in a plurality of input signals and performs digital printing as well as analog recording, including a setting means for setting a recording paper feeding speed and a printing cycle, and a setting means for setting a recording paper feeding speed and a printing cycle. This recorder is provided with a calculation means for determining a reference period from the recorded recording paper feeding speed and determining whether or not the printing period set by the setting means is larger than the reference period.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a configuration explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 represents a plurality of input signals el,...,en
2 is an amplifier that amplifies the input signal taken in by the input switch 1; 3 is an A-D converter that converts the output of the amplifier 2 into a digital signal; The device 4 is a calculation means such as a microcomputer that performs calculation processing and other processing according to the set values set by the setting means 5, the program stored in the memory 6, and the like.

Then, the setting means 5 sets the recording paper feeding speed, printing cycle, etc.

Next, the setting operation will be explained with reference to FIG.

The setting means 5 is used to set the recording paper feeding speed Os, to set locations that require or do not require digital signals among multiple analog recording locations, and to set the edges of the recording paper in the advancing direction as shown in FIG. 3(a). Setting the print format, whether to digitally print one piece of data per line, or digitally print several pieces of data per line on top of the analog record, as shown in Figure 3 (b), and set the digital print cycle below. Perform settings, etc.

The calculation means 4 calculates the number of printing lines N from the number of places that require digital printing, the printing format, etc., and calculates the required minimum printing length L - NH from the amount of characters every other day (L = (N + 1 when leaving one character). >H, etc.), then divide the minimum print length by the recording paper feeding speed C5 to find the minimum reference period #L/CS at which the prints do not overlap.Then, the print period T is T> NHlos... Determine whether (1) is true, and if formula (1) holds true, print cycle T
is settable, and if equation (1) does not hold, a lamp, buzzer, etc. is used to notify the operator that the setting is not possible.

Then, at the time of measurement, desired digital printing is performed at a printable printing cycle T that is larger than the reference cycle.

゛ [Effect of the invention] As described above, the present invention notifies the operator whether or not the set digital printing cycle is possible, so it is possible to always set a reliable digital printing cycle, and the digital printing cycle is always easy to read. Print results are obtained.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 are explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention.
