Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance efficiency, by sequentially providing a ribbon trailing end detection type, a printing head cleaning tape and a cleaning tape trailing end detection tape in the vicinity of the trailing end of a ribbon. CONSTITUTION:When a printing operation proceeds and a roll of a ribbon is used, a ribbon trailing end detection tape 4 is detected by a detecting means of a printer. In response to the detection, the printing operation is stopped, and feeding of the ribbon is continued, whereby a printing head cleaning tape 5 is passed through a printing head part of the printer to clean the printing head. A cleaning tape trailing end detection tape 6 is provided next to the cleaning tape 5, and when the detection tape 6 is detected, the feeding of the ribbon is stopped. Accordingly, the printing head can be automatically cleaned, and the cleaning operation can be automatically stopped.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 技術分野 本発明は、抵抗リボン式印字装置に用いられるリボンに
関する。TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to ribbons used in resistive ribbon printing devices.

ン式印字装置用リボンが得られる。Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, there is provided a ribbon used in a resistive ribbon type printing device, which includes a ribbon end detection tape, a print head cleaning tape, and a cleaning tape end detection tape in this order near the end of the ribbon. A ribbon for a resistive ribbon printing device is obtained.

実施例 次に、本発明の実施例を示した図面を参照して本発明を
より詳細に説明する。Embodiments Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments of the invention.

第１図及び第２図を参照すると、抵抗リボン式印字装置
用リボン１は送り出し側芯２に巻かれており、その先端
部は巻き取り側芯３に取り付けられているＣ第２図）。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a ribbon 1 for a resistive ribbon printing device is wound around a feed-out core 2, and its tip end is attached to a take-up core 3 (FIG. 2).

検出されると、リボン送り動作を停止させる。When the printing operation progresses and one roll of ribbon is used, the ribbon end detection tape 4 is detected by the detection means of the printing device. This stops the printing operation and continues feeding the ribbon, causing the print head cleaning tape 5
A cleaning operation of the print head is performed by passing through the print head portion of the printing device. A cleaning tape end detection tape 6 is provided next to the cleaning tape 5, so when this detection tape 6 is detected, the ribbon feeding operation is stopped.

Furthermore, since a cleaning tape end detection tape is provided next to the cleaning tape,
The cleaning operation can also be stopped automatically.
