  • step 105 As a display for prompting replacement, for example, a display such as “Please replace the label with release paper” is conceivable.
  • Example 1 the display processing of the number of printable sheets with a new label 10 with release paper is described.
  • the label 10 with release paper is used up, remove the printer body and replace it with a new one.
  • the same display processing as described above can be performed. This is the force with which different labels with release paper may be set.
  • the barcode 82 printed on the release paper 12 is a two-dimensional barcode, a scanner is used as the detection means 30 for the label individual 14.
  • Example 1 describes the case of using the same type of label with release paper, and the same number of printable sheets and remaining amount are displayed when labels with release paper of different sizes are set. Processing is possible.
  • the roll diameter of the label 10 with release paper to be set is set for the user using the input unit 52. Prompt to enter. Then, the diameter of the core of the roll paper is stored in the memory means 56 in advance.
  • the data processing unit 40 calculates the number of printable sheets from the input roll diameter and core diameter and displays it. If the roll diameter is known, it is possible to calculate the number of label individuals 14 that can also print this force. It will be displayed until the last minute and the remaining amount display will be reset.
  • the remaining amount display based on the roll diameter information indicating that the printable sheet number and the remaining amount display number displayed on the display unit 54 are approximate values is also displayed. For example, a character such as “approximate” is displayed before or after the display numerical value to prompt the user to pay attention. If such a process is performed, there is no possibility that the estimated value of the label with release paper already used will be mistaken as the official remaining number of sheets.
  • the second embodiment is mainly described when the print control information is included as the barcode information.
  • the print layout information is information in which information to be printed in the print area 14b is preliminarily laid out using the print terminal device.
  • position information (printing control information) indicating whether the print prohibition area 62 as shown in A or FIG. 12A is on the upper side and the lower side of the label object 14.
  • This position information is binary information, similar to the position information of the printer rear 14a printed on the label individual 14, and is input as a part of the print layout information. Select “00” if the upper side of the position of the printer rear 14a is the print prohibition area 62, and “11” if it is the lower side. Each address is addressed.
  • the print layout information is stored in the memory means 56.
  • the CPU-configured data processing unit 40 also performs print control processing for labels.
  • step 190 the position information corresponding to the print prohibition area 62 on the layout of the label 10 to be printed is read and stored (step 190).
  • the barcode 82 is read during the print preparation period, and the position information corresponding to the printer rear 14a of the label unit 14 is extracted from the read barcode information and stored (steps 191 and 192).
  • Information for printing control is acquired during the print preparation period, and when the print preparation period elapses, the process of returning the label with release paper 10 to the original position is performed, and the print mode is set to the standby state. .
  • the position information corresponding to the print prohibition area and the position information corresponding to the printer rear 14a are collated (step 193).
  • the print layout information is printed as it is in the print area 14b of the label individual 14 at the stage when the print mode is started (steps 194 and 195).
  • the relationship between FIGS. 11A and 11B or the relationship between FIGS. 12A and 12B corresponds to this.
  • the print layout information is reversed and printed in the print area 14b. This corresponds to the relationship in FIGS. 11A and 11C or FIGS. 12A and 12C. Therefore, even when the printer rear 14a exists, the print layout information can be correctly printed on the print area 14b, and the overwriting of information on the printer rear 14a can be surely avoided.
  • the end of the printing process on the label individual 14 is determined. If the process is continued, printing on the label unit 14 is continued in the printing control mode selected in step 195 or 196. (Steps 197, 198). Check the operation of the end button and confirm the intention to end the printing process, or determine whether the printing process to the final label individual 14 has ended. When it is determined, the print control process ends (step 197).
  • This invention can be applied to label printers used in the logistics industry, product manufacturers, supermarkets, and the like.

Abstract

Selon cette invention, pour afficher le nombre d'étiquettes non utilisées, on utilise un rouleau d'étiquettes comprenant un papier antiadhésif et des étiquettes collées sur la surface avant du papier antiadhésif et présentant une longueur prédéterminée de code à barres imprimés sur la surface arrière du papier antiadhésif depuis le début du rouleau de papier antiadhésif. Avant de passer en mode impression, l'imprimante fonctionne en mode lecture d'informations de codes à barres. En mode lecture, le papier antiadhésif est entraîné sans impression, les informations des codes à barres sont lues et la valeur est affichée. Les informations concernant le nombre d'étiquettes imprimables sont lues deux fois et les résultats de la lecture sont comparés l'un à l'autre. Si les résultats correspondent, les informations sont affichées sur une zone d'affichage. Chaque fois qu'une étiquette est imprimée, le nombre d'étiquettes imprimables est mise à jour et le nombre d'étiquettes restantes est affiché. Comme le résultat de la soustraction est affiché, l'utilisateur peut connaître le nombre d'étiquettes imprimables ou le nombre d'étiquettes imprimées. Lorsque l'étiquette au niveau de la fin du rouleau de papier antiadhésif est détectée, un message est affiché pour indiquer que le rouleau d'étiquettes à papier antiadhésif doit être remplacé et pour inciter l'utilisateur à remplacer le rouleau d'étiquettes.
