〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明はフィルムリボンに関し、特にプリンタに使用す
るフィルムリボンに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to film ribbons, and particularly to film ribbons used in printers.
従来、この種のフィルムリボンにフィルムリボンカート
リッジに収納されて使用され、その使用量表示の手段と
してはフィルムリボン自身には何の情報も無く、リール
状に巻かれて収納されているフィルムリボンの径方向の
変化量で使用ｆ′ｆｔ認知していた。Conventionally, this type of film ribbon has been stored in a film ribbon cartridge and used as a means of displaying the amount used, as there is no information on the film ribbon itself; The used f'ft was recognized by the amount of change in the radial direction.
上述した従来のフィルムリボンは、その使用量認知の手
段がアナログ的であって、使用者の主観的判断に依存し
ているので、残量認知に相当量の誤差を生じるという欠
点がある。The above-mentioned conventional film ribbon has the drawback that the method for recognizing the amount used is analog and relies on the subjective judgment of the user, resulting in a considerable amount of error in recognizing the remaining amount.
本発明のフィルムリボンは、フィルムベースの非インク
塗布面にフィルム使用量に対応する情報記号を表示して
なる。The film ribbon of the present invention has an information symbol corresponding to the amount of film used displayed on the non-ink coated surface of the film base.
次に本発明ＶＣついて図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the VC of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

ており、この非インク塗布面１ａ［。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a film ribbon cartridge using an embodiment of the present invention. The film ribbon 1 of this embodiment is stored in a film ribbon cartridge 2 in the form of a reel, and the film ribbon 1 is fed in the direction of arrow B by the rotation of the ribbon feed roller 3 in the direction of arrow B. Normally, film ribbon 1 for printing - characters
Since the feed amount is set to a constant value, it is proportional to the amount of rotation of the ribbon feed roller 30 relative to the number of printed characters. The non-ink coated surface 1aii of the film base configured on the film ribbon 11 faces in a direction that can be viewed directly by the viewer, and this non-ink coated surface 1a[.

とを意味している。A usage information symbol 1b corresponding to the set feed amount is printed in advance. In Figure 1, 10 to 320 degrees, 10 to 33 degrees
0.・-・・is printed as an example of a friend, and 3 out of 10
This means that approximately 10,320 characters can be printed after 20 fl.
