Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to prevent the printing of an amount part in a preprinting stage, by providing a printing stop means for stopping the printing of the amount part and presetting whether the printing stop means is allowed to function. CONSTITUTION:The printing stop means 15 of an amount part functions as shown by the flow chart of Fig. 5 and, when the order for stopping the printing of the amount part is issued from an input means 10, an amount printing stop flag is set. Therefore, if a printing key is pressed as shown by the flow chart of Fig. 3, a control part 20 judges whether the amount printing stop flag is set and, unless the amount printing stop flag is set, judges that an amount is printed together and, if the amount has been set, the next processing is taken and, unless the amount is inputted, the next processing is taken by pressing a field key and, if there is no pressing of the field key, erroneous operation is judged.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is directed to MICR (Magnetic Ink Printing), which prints and reads characters using special ink containing magnetic material.

<Prior art> The MICR system was developed by the American Bankers Association (ABA) for the purpose of mechanizing and increasing the efficiency of administrative processing such as checks and bills. A clear band is used, and each line on a single slip can have a maximum of 65, 66, and 80 characters, with 65 characters being the standard for this product.

A predetermined code, symbol, amount, etc. is printed by a dot printer or line printer, and then read by a magnetic ink character reader (magnetic character).
The magnetic ink is read by sliding a magnetic head over the characters using a magnetic ink character reader, and the character is recognized by comparing the characteristic analog waveform of each character with a standard pattern.
classification mechanism).

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Here, in the conventional MIC'R system printer,
Since it is not possible to stop printing of the amount part, when printing MICR characters at the pre-printing stage (i.e. printing exchange number, bank number, account number, etc.),
It was not possible to prevent the amount part from being printed at the same time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is designed to prevent the monetary amount from being printed at the pre-printing stage.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a print stop means for stopping the printing of the amount part, and allows setting in advance whether or not the print stop means should function. It is characterized by what it did.

Effects> If the printing stop means is made to function, it is possible to prevent the monetary amount from being printed at the pre-printing stage. Further, when the printing stop means is not activated, the exchange number, etc. and the amount are printed at the same time, as in the past.

<Examples> Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. A printing stop means 15 is provided. Further, S indicates a control signal, and d indicates a data flow.

The input means 10 is for specifying a code for each classification, inputting an amount and desired data, and selecting whether or not to print the data, using a keyboard or the like.

The control means 20 determines which key is pressed by the input means 10 and drives the printing means 50 in accordance with the key.
It controls the entire device, such as storing data in the storage means 30 or causing the calculation means 40 to perform calculations.

The storage means 30 stores the deposit amount, the withdrawal amount, the total amount, the batch total amount for each category, the cumulative number of sheets, etc.

The calculation means 40 calculates the total amount of deposits, the total amount of withdrawals, and the total or batch total for each category.

The printing means 50 is a printer that performs printing using special ink (magnetic ink) containing a magnetic material, and its driving is controlled by the control means 20.

Note that the control means 20, storage means 30, and calculation means 40
can be integrated into one by using a one-chip microcomputer.

The printing stop means 15 for the amount part is 70- in FIG.
It works as shown in the chart, and when there is a command from the input means 10 to stop printing the amount part, the amount printing stop flag is set.

Therefore, when the print key is pressed, the control means 20 determines whether or not the amount printing stop flag is set, and the amount printing stop flag is set. If the amount is not entered, it is determined that the amount is to be printed as well, and if the amount is entered, the process moves to the next process. If the amount is not entered, the process moves to the next process by pressing the field key. If no field key is pressed, it is determined that an erroneous operation has been made. Also, when the amount printing stop flag is set, if no amount is entered, the next process will proceed when the field key is pressed.At this time, if an amount is entered or no field key is pressed, it may be an erroneous operation. to decide.

By operating as described above, when the print key is pressed, it is determined whether a command to stop printing the amount has been set in advance, and if there is a command to stop printing the amount, that is, the means to stop printing the amount functions. If the amount is not printed, only the exchange number, etc. is printed, and if the amount printing stop means is not functioning, the amount is printed as well as the exchange number, etc., as in the past. It will be done.

In addition, even if the printing stop means for gold part is functioning,
The amount part can be printed using the classification key.
Documents for which MICR printing is to be performed are classified, while amounts cannot be printed.

Note that the printing stopping means 15 for the amount part can also be performed by the control means 20.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, a means for stopping the printing of the amount part is provided, and it is possible to set in advance whether or not the means is to function. Printing of the amount part can be easily stopped at the printing stage, improving the versatility of the printer.
