Abstract

PURPOSE:To discriminate a boundary line of each part clearly at once as well as to dispense with trouble for a second glance and collation, by dislocating a page getting to be the boundary line between copies in the case where plural copies of a document consisting of plural pages are subjected to hard copy, and discharging them out piece by piece in page order. CONSTITUTION:In case of a document processor to be controlled by a microprocessor, when the recording paper subjected to hard copy is one other than the final page, it passes through between a platen 30 both rotatable paper presser rollers 35 and 36 installed in a shaft 34 short of the platen and is normally housed in a paper discharge tray 32. When the recording paper 33 is the final page, a solenoid 38 is operated as long as the specified time, a braking plate 41 is rotated centering on a shaft 40 via a rod 39, pressing the roller 36 and adding braking force, and the recording paper 33 is tilted to some extent, then it is housed in the tray 32 whereby discrimination between copies is automatically made clear. In this connection, there is another method to discriminate the recording paper in moving the paper discharge tray itself at every specified page.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more particularly to a document processing device with an improved recording paper ejection mechanism when making a hard copy of a document spanning multiple pages. It is.

[Prior Art*] Conventional document processing devices cannot handle multiple hard copies of a document that spans multiple pages! Figure 81 (
As shown in A), the first page is on the bottom side, and the last page is on the top side, and is ejected onto the paper ejection tray.

Therefore, the operator had to rearrange the pages in order.

Note that making multiple hard copies of a document that spans multiple pages means, for example, that a document with pages 1 to 4 is made into a set of pages 1 to 4 and a predetermined number of hard copies are made in sequence. be.

Therefore, each of the first to fourth pages can be printed in multiple copies, for example, 5 pages.
This is different from making hard copies one by one.

If one page is hard-copied in multiple copies in this way, the task of dividing the same page into multiple copies becomes more complicated.

To solve this inconvenience, if hard copies are made in order from the last page, the pages will be ejected in order as shown in FIG.

However, if this method is adopted, when making multiple hard copies of a text that spans multiple pages, the boundary pages between each copy cannot be distinguished, so it is necessary to readjust the pages one by one and separate them into each copy.

[Purpose] The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and even when making multiple hard copies of a document spanning multiple pages, the boundaries between each copy can be immediately and clearly marked. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that is capable of distinguishing documents.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the example shown in the drawings.

[First Embodiment J The following figures illustrate the first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the overall structure of the document processing device.

In the fjS2 diagram, the reference numeral 1 indicates a microprocessor, which includes an address bus 2 for specifying the address of each input/output memory, and a bidirectional data bus 3 used for transferring various data. It is connected to a control bus 4 used for accepting reads, writes, and interconnected data from each memory, or transmitting data set timing and the like.

The reference numeral 5 indicates a keyboard for controlling various input keys, and the reference numeral 6 indicates a controller for controlling the keyboard 5. The controller 6 encodes data input via the keyboard 5.
An interwoven signal is sent to the address bus 4.

Note that the recorded key data is temporarily stored in the key bar/\6a, encoded by the controller 6 in response to access by the microprocessor (hereinafter abbreviated as NPU) 1, and read into the NPUI via the data bus 3.

On the other hand, the reference numeral 7 indicates a CRT controller, which controls the CRT display device 8, the refresh memory 11, and its controller 12.

In addition, the display controller 9 is a character generator 1
The pattern signal from 0 is processed according to display control signals such as ¥4 degrees, inversion, underline, blinking, etc. stored in the refresh memory 11.

The processed output is supplied to the CRT display device 8 to output a display pattern.

The character generator 10 sequentially outputs, among the stored character patterns, character patterns for lines specified by code inputs such as character codes and character pattern line addresses.

The refresh memory 11 stores character codes and display control codes to be displayed on the CRT display device 8, and repeatedly outputs the character codes and display control codes in response to instructions from the CRT controller 7.

In order to change the content displayed on the CRT display 8, it is sufficient to change the content of the refresh memory 11.

A controller 12 controls the above-mentioned refresh cycle for CRT display and data corruption and reading from the MPU 1 in response to instructions from the CRT controller 7.

Further, the reference numeral 13 is a ROM, which stores a control procedure, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, as well as various processing procedures such as single character processing.

12 is its controller.

A RAM 15 temporarily stores various data such as created documents, and in a Japanese document processing device, for example, a dictionary for kana-kanji conversion is also located in the storage area.

Further, various registers to be described later are also located in the RAM 15.

What is indicated by reference numeral 18 stores documents created on magnetic disks (floppy disks), dictionaries, and the like.

The magnetic disk 8 is rotationally driven by a drive device 2119 controlled by the controller 20.

Reference numeral 21 indicates a printer, which is controlled by a controller 22 .

The document processing apparatus having the above-described structure is operated by manual input of keys from the keyboard 5.

That is, when an input is made from the keyboard 5, an interwoven signal is supplied from the keyboard controller 6 to the MPU 1 via the control path 4, and various control operations necessary for character processing are performed according to the control procedure stored in the ROM 13. Do this.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a recording paper ejecting mechanism which constitutes the essential part of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, the reference numeral 30 is a platen, and in front of it is a cut sheet feeder 31 that supplies cut sheets.
is provided, and the cut papers are stacked and housed.

A paper discharge tray 32 is provided above and in front of the platen 30, and hard-copied recording papers are sequentially accommodated therein.

What is indicated by the reference numeral 33 is recording paper.

Further, on the front side of the platen 30, a shaft 34 is horizontally suspended parallel to the platen 30, and this shaft 34 has left and right paper pressing rollers 3.
5.3B is rotatably supported.

Also, between the left and right rollers 35 and 36, the paper presser 3
7 is rotatably supported.

On the other hand, on the near side of the platen 30, a solenoid 38 is disposed at a position substantially corresponding to the paper pressing roller 36, with its axial direction perpendicular to the platen 30.

A rod 39 of the solenoid 38 projects toward the platen 30 side.

A shaft 40 is rotatably arranged on one side of the rod 39 in parallel with the platen 30, and a vertically elongated brake plate 41 is fixed in the middle to the shaft 40.

The lower end of the brake plate 41 is connected to the tip of the rod 39, and the upper end of the brake plate 41 is a curved portion 41a that covers the roller 36.

Therefore, by operating the solenoid 38, the brake plate 41 can be rotated about the shaft 40 via the loft 39, and the curved portion 41a can be pressed against or released from the roller 36.

That is, when the rod 39 of the solenoid 38 is moving forward, the brake plate 41 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure as shown in FIG. ing.

In this state, no braking force is applied to the recording paper 33, and the recording paper 33 is normally fed in the direction t (crossing the platen 30) as shown in FIG. 4(A).

On the other hand, when the solenoid 38 is actuated to attract the rod 39, the brake plate 41 is rotated clockwise in FIG. Braking force is added to

As a result, the recording paper 33 is rotated clockwise in the figure with the paper pressing roller 36 as a fulcrum, as shown in FIG. 4 CB).

As a result, the recording paper 33 becomes oblique.

Subsequently, when the solenoid 38 is energized, the braking force applied to the paper pressing roller 36 is released, and the recording paper 33 is fed in a direction perpendicular to the platen 30 while remaining oblique, and is stored in the paper discharge tray 32.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, when hard copying is started, one page of the document created in step S1 is hard copied.

Then, in step S2, it is checked whether the page hard-copied in step S1 is the final page, and if it is not the final page, the recording paper is normally ejected in step S3.

On the other hand, if it is the last page, it is determined in step S4 whether or not the specified number of copies have all been completed.

If it has been completed, the process advances to step S5, where the recording paper is ejected in a normal state and the hard copying is completed.

If the recording paper has not been completed, in step S6, in order to apply the braking force of the paper pressing roller 36 while ejecting the recording paper, the renoid 38 is energized and held for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 4(B). Then, the recording paper 33 is tilted, and then the electricity is turned off, and the recording paper 33 is fed linearly as shown in FIG.

In this way, after finishing the hard copying of the final page, a braking force is applied to the paper presser roller 36 to cause the recording paper to move diagonally, thereby distinguishing it from other recording papers, and automatically distinguishing between copies. [IJ can be clearly understood.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3(A), the operator uses the recording paper stored in the paper output tray 32 that has slanted and protruded from the layer of recording paper where IJ: is the first page as a guide. You can separate each copy, saving you the trouble of checking each page.

[Second Embodiment] By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, a braking force is applied to the paper pressing roller to cause the recording paper to travel diagonally, causing a relative positional shift with respect to the paper ejection tray, and causing other recording paper to However, in order to cause relative displacement, it is not necessary to have a structure in which the wires run diagonally, for example, as shown by the chain line in Fig. 3 (A). Connect one end of the paper output tray 32a to the paper output tray, wrap the other end around a boob (not shown), etc., and connect the paper output tray 32a.
By pulling the output tray for each predetermined page via the wire 32a against the tension of a spring 32b or the like stretched between the other end and the fixed part of the device, only a specific recording paper can be retrieved. It can be made to protrude from the stacked recording papers.

By moving the paper discharge tray itself in this manner, the boundary between the number of copies can be made clear, and the same effect as in the first embodiment described above can be obtained.

[Effects] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a mechanism is adopted that causes relative positional deviation between the recording paper and the paper output tray in the direction of the surface of the recording paper. When making multiple copies of hard copies across multiple copies, make the page that is the boundary between copies protrude from the recording paper stacked on the output tray, and use this protruding recording paper as a guide to align each copy independently. This eliminates the need to review each page one by one as in the conventional method, and enables extremely efficient hard copying.
