The present invention relates to a storage material inspection apparatus and a storage material inspection method.

The present invention also relates to a substrate printing system that prints a variable information code or variable information whose contents change on a plurality of substrates, and detects a substrate on which the variable information code or variable information is printed by mistake.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-225572 filed in Japan on November 5, 2014 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-225573 filed in Japan on November 5, 2014. The contents are incorporated herein.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an article to be stored is stored in a plurality of types of paper containers (paper boxes) having different designs while being the same product (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The paper containers in which the items are stored are flowed through the distribution channel and are sold in stores.
In the case of a paper container on which a picture is printed so that a trading card, a collection card, etc. can be obtained by cutting out a part of the paper container, it is necessary to flow a paper container having a different pattern in that part to the distribution channel as a set product. The paper container is generally manufactured by a printing company.

A manufacturing method of a set product in such a paper container is as follows, for example. In the first step, printing is performed on a large paper container paper (housing material, base material) using a printing plate on which multiple patterns of blanks are applied.
Next, in the second step, large-sized paper container paper on which multi-sided printing has been performed is punched into blanks by a punching machine. After the punching, the blank paper sheets are cut into individual blanks and stacked. The same pattern is printed on the stacked blanks produced at this time. In the present specification, the blanks refer to a developed paper container sheet before two predetermined sides are glued (sacked). Further, the blank state represents a state of the developed paper container before two predetermined sides are glued (sucked).

Next, in the third step, for the blanks on which the same pattern is printed, the patterns corresponding to the different paper containers collected as the paper container set, that is, variable patterns (contained object code, stored object information) are collected. Print in order. Blanks on which the variable pattern is printed are stacked in the printed order. An ink jet printer using UV (ultraviolet) curable ink can be used for printing the variable pattern. The blanks on which the variable pattern is printed by the ink jet printer are irradiated with UV to cure the ink.

Next, in a 4th process, sack pasting which pastes on two predetermined sides of blanks, folds and bonds together, and processes blanks into a cylinder shape is performed.
Next, in the fifth step, the stacked sack-attached blanks are packed so as not to change and shipped from the printing company to the manufacturer.

Hereinafter, the accommodation material inspection apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14.
A storage material printing system (base material printing system) 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a storage material inspection device 67 described later in the present embodiment. The accommodation material printing system 1 conveys the printer (printing unit) 10 that prints the barcode 221 representing the object information 221a on the accommodation material 200 and the accommodation material 200 printed by the printer 10 in the order of printing. A lane (conveying unit) 30, a rejection mechanism 40 provided in the conveyance lane 30, a barcode reader (reading unit) 50 that reads the barcode 221 from the accommodating material 200 on which the barcode 221 is printed, and the accommodating material 200 A video camera 55 that acquires an image of the printed barcode 221 and a control unit 60 that controls the printer 10, the conveyance lane 30, and the rejection mechanism 40 are provided. In FIG. 1, the bar code reader 50 and the video camera 55 are indicated by a two-dot chain line in order to make the container 200 easy to see.
Below, the accommodation material 200 is demonstrated first. Although FIG. 1 etc. have shown the accommodation material 200 typically, in FIG. 3, the shape of the accommodation material 200 is shown more correctly.

The accommodating material (base material) 200 is blanks obtained by punching large roll paper or the like printed by multi-sided attachment such as 4-sided or 8-sided. As the roll paper, white board paper such as a white ball or paper such as yellow paper board is used. For printing on roll paper, a known printing method such as gravure printing or offset printing can be suitably used.
In the container 200, as shown in FIG. 3, a small side plate 201, a bottom plate 202, a small side plate 203, and a top plate 204 are connected in this order in the longitudinal direction X along the long side 202a of the rectangular bottom plate 202. It is installed.
On both sides of the small side plate 201 in the short direction Y along the short side 202b of the bottom plate 202, flap plates 206 are provided continuously. Flap plates 207 are provided on both sides of the small side plate 203 in the short direction Y. A flap plate 208 is continuously provided on the side of the top plate 204 opposite to the side on which the small side plate 203 is continuously provided.

Large side plates 210 and 211 are connected to both sides of the bottom plate 202 in the short direction Y. A flap plate 212 is connected to the side opposite to the side where the bottom plate 202 of the large side plate 210 is connected. A flap plate 213 is connected to the side opposite to the side where the bottom plate 202 of the large side plate 211 is connected.
Between the small side plate 201 and the bottom plate 202, a crease having a reference numeral omitted is formed. By using this fold as a hinge, the small side plate 201 can be easily bent with respect to the bottom plate 202.
On the small side plate 203, the top plate 204, and the large side plates 210 and 211, fixed patterns 203a, 204a, 210a, and 211a (hereinafter referred to as fixed patterns 203a and the like) are printed. The fixed pattern 203a and the like represent the package design of the container 200.

The small side plate 201, the bottom plate 202, and the small side plate 203 are areas on which the fixed pattern 203a or the like is not printed, and a printing area for printing the barcode (contained object code) 221 shown in FIG. 201a, 202c, and 203b are provided.
For convenience of explanation, the stored object information 221a which is a numerical value represented by the barcode 221 is shown beside the barcode 221. In this example, the object information 221a is “11”.

The code of the containment code is a representation of information converted to improve the efficiency and confidentiality of information transmission such as barcode and QR code (registered trademark), and it is used only by looking at it Means information that cannot be easily understood by the person. The containment information means information such as letters and numbers that allows the user to easily understand the contents of the information.
In this example, the fixed pattern 203a or the like represents the name of a storage object stored in the storage material 200 after the storage material 200 is assembled into a box shape, the name of the manufacturer that uses the storage object, and the storage object. Includes pictures. However, the contents described in the fixed pattern 203a and the like are not limited to this, and can be selected as appropriate.

In the following, for convenience of explanation, a case will be described in which the barcode read by the barcode reader 50 or the image to be acquired by the video camera 55 is only the barcode printed in the print area 202c.
As shown in FIG. 5, normally, a barcode 221 is printed by the printer 10 at, for example, the center of the printing area 202 c of the bottom plate 202 of the container 200. However, for some reason, the position where the barcode 221 is printed is shifted as shown in FIG. 6, and the barcode 221 may be printed not only on the printing area 202c but also on the small side plate 203, for example. As shown in FIG. 7, the direction in which the barcode 221 is printed may deviate.

Next, the printer 10 will be described. In this embodiment, a known laser printer is used as the printer 10, but the printer 10 may be an ink jet printer or the like.
As shown in FIG. 8, the printer 10 exposes a case 11, a photosensitive drum 12 accommodated in the case 11, a charging unit 13 for charging the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 with negative static electricity, and the charged photosensitive drum 12. An exposure unit 14 having a laser oscillator 14a for developing, a developing unit 15 for attaching the toner T to the photosensitive drum 12, a transfer unit 16 for transferring the toner T attached to the photosensitive drum 12 to the containing material 200, and a containing material A fixing unit 17 for fixing the toner T to 200, a position sensor 18 for detecting the position of the containing material 200, and a printer control unit 19 for controlling the charging unit 13 and the like are included.

The photosensitive drum 12 is supported in the case 11 so as to be rotatable around the axis C <b> 1 of the photosensitive drum 12. In the developing unit 15, the toner T is agitated.
The fixing unit 17 fixes the toner T to the containing material 200 by applying heat or pressure to the containing material 200, for example.
In the case 11, there are provided a roller 20 for conveying the containing material 200 and a roller drive motor (not shown) for rotating the roller 20.

The position sensor 18 is disposed near a roller 20 positioned near an opening 11a of the case 11 described later. The position sensor 18 includes, for example, a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit (not shown). The light projecting unit radiates detection light toward the light receiving unit. When the container 200 is not disposed between the light projecting unit and the light receiving unit, the light receiving unit receives the detection light. When the light receiving unit stops receiving the detection light, it is detected that the downstream end of the containing material 200 has reached the position P1 through which the detection light passes. The position sensor 18 transmits the detection result to the printer control unit 19.
The printer control unit 19 is connected to and controls the charging unit 13, the exposure unit 14, the developing unit 15, the transfer unit 16, the fixing unit 17, the roller drive motor, and the position sensor 18.

The case 11 can be formed of a steel plate, resin, or the like. The case 11 is formed so that the opening 11a and the opening 11b face each other.
The paper feed tray 22 is attached to the case 11 so that the lower end portion of the paper feed tray 22 is positioned below the opening 11a. An upstream portion 30a in the transport direction D in the transport lane 30 is disposed outside the case 11 and below the opening 11b.

The conveyance lane 30 has a known configuration and includes a pair of rollers 32 wound around both sides of the conveyance belt 31 as shown in FIGS. 2, 8, and 9. Each roller 32 is driven by a roller drive motor 33. By driving the roller drive motor 33 and rotating it in a predetermined direction, the pair of rollers 32 rotate, and the transport surface 31a that is the upper surface of the transport belt 31 moves from the upstream portion 30a to the downstream portion 30b in the transport direction D. The conveyance surface 31a supports the accommodating material 200 and conveys the accommodating material 200 from the upstream portion 30a to the downstream portion 30b.
A guide plate 34 is disposed on the downstream side in the transport direction D from the transport belt 31 with the reject mechanism 40 interposed therebetween. As shown in FIG. 9, the upper surface of the guide plate 34 is disposed in parallel to the transport surface 31a. On the opposite side of the guide plate 34 from the reject mechanism 40, a container 35 for accommodating the accommodating material 200 is disposed. That is, the reject mechanism 40 is disposed upstream of the guide plate, and the container 35 is disposed downstream of the guide plate.

2 and 9, the reject mechanism 40 includes a conveyor belt 41, a pair of rollers 42 wound around both sides of the conveyor belt 41, a roller drive motor 43 that drives each roller 42, and a conveyor belt 41. And a tilt drive motor 44 for changing the tilt of.
Similarly to the transport lane 30, the pair of rollers 42 is rotated by driving the roller drive motor 43 and rotating it in a predetermined direction, and the auxiliary transport surface 41 a that is the upper surface of the transport belt 41 is moved.
The tilt drive motor 44 is connected to the pair of rollers 42 via a gear (not shown). By driving the tilt drive motor 44, the auxiliary transport surface 41a can be switched between the non-discharge state P6 and the discharge state P7. In the non-discharging state P6, the auxiliary conveyance surface 41a is arranged to be parallel to the conveyance surface 31a as shown by a solid line in FIG. In the discharge state P7, the auxiliary transport surface 41a is disposed so as to intersect the transport surface 31a as shown by a dotted line in FIG.

The auxiliary conveyance surface 41 a of the conveyance belt 41 can support the containing material 200. A container 45 for accommodating the accommodating material 200 is arranged on the downstream side of the reject mechanism 40 when in the discharged state P7. The container 45 is arranged at a position different from the container 35 on the downstream side in the transport direction D of the transport lane 30.
When the auxiliary conveyance surface 41a is in the non-discharge state P6, the auxiliary conveyance surface 41a conveys the containing material 200 to the downstream side in the conveyance direction D of the conveyance lane 30 together with the conveyance surface 31a. The conveyed accommodation material 200 falls from the reject mechanism 40 and the guide plate 34 and is accommodated in the container 35.
On the other hand, when the auxiliary conveyance surface 41a is in the discharge state P7, the auxiliary conveyance surface 41a receives the accommodation material 200 supported by the conveyance surface 31a from the conveyance surface 31a and conveys the accommodation material 200 to the container 45.

The barcode reader 50 has a known configuration and is attached to the transport lane 30 as shown in FIG. The barcode reader 50 reads the barcode 221 without reading the contained information 221a. The barcode reader 50 reads the barcode 221 when the barcode 221 of the containing material 200 comes below the barcode reader 50. The barcode reader 50 reads the barcodes 221 in the order of the storage materials 200 conveyed in the conveyance lane 30.
The barcode reader 50 that has read the barcode 221 associates the barcode 221 with the object information 221a, converts the object information 221a into a signal, and transmits the signal to the control unit 60.

As the video camera 55, a camera having a known configuration can be used. The video camera 55 acquires the barcode 221 of the container 200 and an image around the barcode 221 when the barcode 221 of the container 200 comes below the video camera 55. The video camera 55 converts the acquired image into a signal and transmits it to the control unit 60.
In this example, the video camera 55 acquires an image almost simultaneously with the reading of the barcode 221 by the barcode reader 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 60 includes a coincidence determination circuit (a coincidence determination unit) 62, a print state inspection circuit 63, a memory 64, and a main control unit 65 connected to the bus 61. The print state inspection circuit 63 and the above-described video camera 55 constitute a print state inspection unit 66. The bar code reader 50, the coincidence determination circuit 62, and the printing state inspection unit 66 constitute a storage material inspection device 67 of this embodiment.
The bus 61 includes a printer 10, a roller drive motor 33 for the conveyance lane 30, a roller drive motor 43 for the rejection mechanism 40, a tilt drive motor 44, a barcode reader 50, a video camera 55, and a display unit 71 and an input unit 72 described later. A USB (Universal Serial Bus) hub 73 is connected.

The coincidence determination circuit 62, the printing state inspection circuit 63, and the main control unit 65 have an arithmetic element and an auxiliary memory.
The auxiliary memory of the coincidence determination circuit 62 stores comparison source information that is a file. In this example, a numerical value “11” is recorded as comparison source information. The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines whether or not the object information represented by the barcode read by the barcode reader 50 matches the comparison source information “11”.

When the read barcode is the barcode 221 shown in FIG. 4, the object information 221a represented by the barcode 221 is “11”. Therefore, the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines that the object information matches the comparison source information, and determines that the bar code value matches is acceptable.
On the other hand, it is assumed that a barcode 222 as shown in FIG. 10 having a shape different from that of the barcode 221 is printed on the accommodation material 200 for some reason. In this case, the object information 222a represented by the barcode 222 is, for example, “22” different from “11”. For this reason, the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines that the object information does not coincide with the comparison source information, and determines that the coincidence of the barcode values is unacceptable.
The coincidence determination circuit 62 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.

The printing state inspection circuit 63 processes the image acquired by the video camera 55 by a known image processing method, and extracts the shape of the barcode 221 and the storage material 200 from the image. The displacement amount of the position where the barcode 221 is printed and the displacement amount of the orientation are inspected with respect to the print region 202c of the containing material 200.
The standard that the position where the barcode 221 is printed is acceptable (non-defective) is, for example, that the barcode 221 is printed only in the printing area 202c and not printed on the small side plate 203 or the like. Further, for example, a plurality of lower end portions of the barcode 221 may be detected, and an approximate straight line may be obtained from a plurality of detection positions. The reference in this case is that the distance between each detection position and the approximate line is calculated and the distance between the detection position and the approximate line is equal to or less than a certain value. For example, if the distance between each detection position and the approximate straight line is less than 0.1 mm, it is determined as acceptable.
For example, the bar code 221 is printed in a direction in which the direction in which the bar code 221 is printed is, for example, an angle θ formed by the bar code 221 with respect to the short side 202b of the bottom plate 202 in FIG. That is.

In the auxiliary memory of the printing state inspection circuit 63, the image processing program and the above-mentioned reference value that passes are recorded.
The arithmetic element of the print state inspection circuit 63 determines pass / fail of the position and orientation where the barcode 221 is printed by the image processing method. The arithmetic element determines that the state of the barcode is acceptable when the position and orientation satisfy the criteria for passing. On the other hand, if at least one of the position and orientation is unacceptable, the barcode state is determined as unacceptable.
The print state inspection circuit 63 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.

The memory 64 stores a print instruction program for controlling the printer 10, the conveyance lane 30, and the like, and an automatic typesetting program described later. As these printing instruction program and automatic typesetting program, known software can be appropriately selected and used.
The main control unit 65 controls the entire storage material printing system 1 such as the printer 10 and the transport lane 30. The main control unit 65 controls the reject mechanism 40 to accommodate the container 200 in which the barcode value matches and the barcode state is acceptable in the container 35. On the other hand, the container 45 is accommodated in the container 45 in which the coincidence of the barcode values is unacceptable or the barcode state is unacceptable.

The display unit 71 has a liquid crystal monitor 71a shown in FIG. The contents processed by the main control unit 65 are displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 71a. The input unit 72 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like. As the control unit 60, the display unit 71, and the input unit 72, a known personal computer can be suitably used.
A USB memory 230 shown in FIG. 2 having a flash memory can be attached to and detached from the USB hub 73. By attaching the USB memory 230 to the USB hub 73, a file recorded in the USB memory 230 is copied to the memory 64 of the control unit 60, and a file recorded in the memory 64 is copied to the USB memory 230. can do.

Next, the operation of the containing material printing system 1 configured as described above will be described. Note that before using the storage material printing system 1, comparison source information is created as described below.
The user records order data, which is an instruction from the customer, in the USB memory 230, for example. The USB memory 230 is attached to the USB hub 73, and the input unit 72 is operated to read the automatic typesetting program 240 shown in FIG. The main control unit 65 processes the order data 241 based on the automatic typesetting program 240.
By processing the order data 241, the main control unit 65 uses the image data 242 to be transmitted to the printer 10, the data “5” that is the quantity of the accommodating material 200 on which the image data 242 is printed, and the print instruction program. Comparison source information 244 for processing is created. The image data 242 includes an image of the barcode 221 and an image of the object information 221a.
The comparison source information 244 is a file in which a numerical value “11” is recorded.

When the storage material printing system 1 starts operation, the transport lane 30 is in the non-discharge state P6. The main control unit 65 performs the following steps based on the print instruction program.
The main control unit 65 transmits image data 242 and data “5”, which is the quantity of the accommodating material 200 on which the image data 242 is printed, to the printer 10. The main control unit 65 transmits the comparison source information 244 to the match determination circuit 62, and the match determination circuit 62 records the comparison source information 244 in the auxiliary memory.

The printer control unit 19 of the printer 10 to which the image data 242 and the like are transmitted from the main control unit 65 causes the charging unit 13 to charge the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 with negative static electricity. The photosensitive drum 12 is rotated around the axis C1 in the direction E by a drum drive motor (not shown) as shown in FIG.
The exposure unit 14 irradiates the photosensitive drum 12 with the laser light L from the laser oscillator 14a. The portion of the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 irradiated with the laser light L is free from negative static electricity. For this reason, the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 is irradiated with the laser light L in a shape representing the image data 242.

The toner T in the developing unit 15 is brought close to the photosensitive drum 12. Then, the toner T adheres only to the portion where the negative static electricity on the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 is eliminated. The accommodation material 200 arranged on the paper feed tray 22 is conveyed by the roller 20, and the accommodation material 200 is brought into close contact with the photosensitive drum 12. The conveyed accommodation material 200 is detected by the position sensor 18, and the position sensor 18 transmits the detection result to the printer control unit 19. The printer control unit 19 counts the number of containers 200 sent out from the paper feed tray 22.
The transfer unit 16 gives a positive charge from the opposite side of the containing material 200 to the photosensitive drum 12. The toner T adhering to the surface of the photosensitive drum 12 moves to the storage material 200.
By applying heat or pressure to the storage material 200 or the like by the fixing unit 17, the toner T transferred to the storage material 200 is fixed to the storage material 200.

Through the above process, the barcode 221 is printed on the N = 1st container 200 shown in FIG. By the same process, the barcode 221 is printed on the N = 2th to N = 5th storage material 200.
Hereinafter, the N = 1st storage material 200 is represented as a storage material 200A. Similarly, the N = 2, 3, 4, and 5th storage materials 200 are expressed as storage materials 200B, 200C, 200D, and 200E, respectively.
In this example, the case where the barcode 222 is printed on the accommodation material 200C as shown in FIG. 13 for some reason will be described. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a case where a part of the barcode 221 printed on the housing material 200D is printed on the small side plate 203 will be described.

At the same time when the printer 10 prints the barcode 221 on the storage material 200, the main control unit 65 drives the roller drive motor 33 in the transport lane 30 to move the transport belt 31.
Thereafter, each process of the accommodation material inspection method of the present embodiment is performed. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating the accommodation material inspection method according to this embodiment.

In the reading step S1, when the barcode 221 of the storage material 200A comes below the barcode reader 50, the barcode reader 50 reads the barcode 221 from the storage material 200A. The barcode reader 50 converts the numerical value “11”, which is the object information 221 a associated with the read barcode 221, into a signal and transmits the signal to the coincidence determination circuit 62 of the control unit 60.
In the coincidence determining step S3, the arithmetic element of the coincidence determining circuit 62 matches the contained information 221a transmitted from the reading barcode reader 50 in the reading step S1 with the numerical value “11” as the comparison source information 244. Determine whether or not. Then, it is determined that the bar code values match, and the determination result is transmitted to the main control unit 65.

In the printing state inspection step S5, the position and orientation of the barcode 221 printed on the housing material 200 are inspected. Specifically, when the barcode 221 of the container 200A comes below the video camera 55, the video camera 55 acquires an image around the barcode 221 of the container 200A. The video camera 55 transmits the acquired image to the print state inspection circuit 63 of the control unit 60.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the barcode 221 and determines that the barcode state is acceptable. The print state inspection circuit 63 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.

In the present embodiment, the reading step S1, the coincidence determining step S3, and the printing state inspection step S5 are performed simultaneously (including almost simultaneously).
Note that the reading step S1, the coincidence determining step S3, and the printing state inspection step S5 may not be performed simultaneously.
With the above steps, the storage material inspection method for the storage material 200A in the present embodiment is completed.

By the accommodation material inspection method according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 65 knows that the coincidence of the values of the barcode 221 of the accommodation material 200A is acceptable and the state of the barcode 221 is acceptable. The main control unit 65 displays the determination result on, for example, the liquid crystal monitor 71a of the display unit 71.
The transport material 30A is transported to the downstream portion 30b side of the transport lane 30 by the transport surface 31a and the auxiliary transport surface 41a while the transport lane 30 remains in the non-discharge state P6. The accommodating material 200 </ b> A is accommodated in the container 35.
The main control unit 65 stores the container 200B in the container 35 in the same manner as the container 200A.

The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines that the numerical value “22”, which is the object information 222a represented by the barcode 222 of the container 200C, does not match the comparison source information 244. Then, it is determined that the bar code value coincides with failure, and the determination result is transmitted to the main control unit 65.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the barcode 222 and determines that the barcode state is acceptable. The print state inspection circuit 63 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.

The main control unit 65 accommodates the accommodating material 200C in the container 45 because the barcode state of the accommodating material 200C is acceptable but the coincidence of the barcode values is unacceptable. Specifically, the tilt drive motor 44 is driven to bring the transport lane 30 into the discharge state P7, and the accommodating material 200C is transported to a position different from the downstream portion 30b of the transport lane 30 by the auxiliary transport surface 41a. The accommodating material 200 </ b> C is accommodated in the container 45.
When the container 200C is stored in the container 45, the tilt drive motor 44 is driven to bring the transport lane 30 into the non-discharge state P6.

The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines that the object information 221a represented by the barcode 221 of the container 200D matches the comparison source information 244.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the barcode 221, determines that the orientation of the barcode 221 is acceptable, determines that the position is unacceptable, and determines that the barcode state is unacceptable.
The main control unit 65 accommodates the accommodating material 200D in the container 45 in the same manner as the accommodating material 200C because the barcode value of the accommodating material 200D is acceptable but the barcode state is unacceptable.
The accommodating material 200E is accommodated in the container 35 in the same manner as the accommodating materials 200A and 200B.

As described above, according to the accommodation material inspection device 67 and the accommodation material inspection method according to the present embodiment, the contents of the barcode 221 printed on the accommodation material 200 are automatically inspected, and the position of the barcode 221 is determined. And the orientation can be checked automatically.

In the present embodiment, the reading unit may be an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) device, and only the numerical value “11” that is the object information 221 a may be printed on the accommodation material 200 instead of the barcode 221. In this case, the reading unit reads the object information 221 a printed on the container 200, converts the read object information 221 a into a signal, and transmits the signal to the coincidence determination circuit 62 of the control unit 60.
The video camera 55 acquires an image around the object information 221 a of the container 200 and transmits the image to the print state inspection circuit 63 of the control unit 60. The print state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the object information 221a.
Thus, even if the accommodation material inspection device 67 and the accommodation material inspection method are modified, the same effect as the accommodation material inspection device 67 and the accommodation material inspection method of the present embodiment can be obtained.

Based on the print instruction information 250, the coincidence determination circuit 81 provides first comparison source information for the accommodation material 200 conveyed Nth in the conveyance lane 30 with respect to N of 1 to 251b. Contained object information 251a is used. When N is greater than the first quantity 251b and less than or equal to the sum of the first quantity 251b and the second quantity 252b, the comparison source information is the first comparison source information for the accommodation material 200 conveyed Nth in the conveyance lane 30. Two-contained object information 252a is used.

Specifically, the case where the print instruction information 250 is shown in FIG. 15 will be described.
The printer 10 first prints a first barcode 251 representing “11” as the first object information 251a on the three materials 200 having the first quantity 251b. The three accommodation materials 200 are transported in the transport lane 30. That is, when N is 1 or more and 3 or less, the first barcode 251 is printed on the accommodation material 200 conveyed Nth in the conveyance lane 30.
Next, the second barcode 252 representing “22” as the second stored object information 252a is printed on the two storage materials 200 having the second quantity 252b. Following the above-described three sheets of storage material 200, these two sheets of storage material 200 are transported in the transport lane 30.

The main control unit 65 transmits the print instruction information 250 to the coincidence determination circuit 81, and the coincidence determination circuit 81 records the print instruction information 250 in the auxiliary memory.

As shown in FIG. 18 as N = 1st accommodation material 200A, the printer 10 prints the first barcode 251 on the accommodation material 200A. By the same process, the first barcode 251 is printed on the containing materials 200B and 200C, and the second barcode 252 is printed on the containing materials 200D and 200E.
In this example, a case where the second barcode 252 is printed on the accommodation material 200C as shown in FIG. 19 for some reason will be described. Further, a case will be described in which a part of the second barcode 252 printed on the housing material 200D is printed on the small side plate 203 as shown in FIG.

When the first barcode 251 of the storage material 200A comes below the barcode reader 50, the barcode reader 50 reads the first barcode 251 from the storage material 200A. The barcode reader 50 converts the numerical value “11”, which is the first object information 251 a associated with the read first barcode 251, into a signal, and transmits the signal to the coincidence determination circuit 81 of the control unit 60.
The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 81 determines whether or not the first object information 251a transmitted from the barcode reader 50 matches the comparison source information. When N is 1 or more and 3 or less, “11” that is the first container information 251a included in the print instruction information 250 is used as comparison source information. Then, it is determined that the bar code values match, and the determination result is transmitted to the main control unit 65.

When the first barcode 251 of the container 200A comes below the video camera 55, the video camera 55 acquires an image around the first barcode 251 of the container 200A. The video camera 55 transmits the acquired image to the print state inspection circuit 63 of the control unit 60.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the first barcode 251 and determines that the barcode state is acceptable. The print state inspection circuit 63 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.
By the accommodation material inspection method according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 65 knows that the first barcode 251 of the accommodation material 200A has passed the value match and the first barcode 251 has passed.

The main control unit 65 keeps the transport lane 30 in the non-discharge state P6 and transports the containing material 200A to the downstream portion 30b side of the transport lane 30 by the transport surface 31a and the auxiliary transport surface 41a.
The accommodating material 200 </ b> A is accommodated in the container 35.
The main control unit 65 stores the container 200B in the container 35 in the same manner as the container 200A.

The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 81 determines that the numerical value “22”, which is the second object information 252a represented by the second barcode 252 of the container 200C, does not coincide with “11”, which is the comparison source information. To do. Then, it is determined that the bar code value coincides with failure, and the determination result is transmitted to the main control unit 65.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the second barcode 252 and determines that the barcode state is acceptable. The print state inspection circuit 63 transmits the determination result to the main control unit 65.
The main controller 65 places the transporting lane 30 in the discharge state P7 and stores the containing material 200C in the container 45. When the container 200C is stored in the container 45, the transport lane 30 is set to the non-discharge state P6.

The arithmetic element of the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines whether or not the second object information 252a represented by the second barcode 252 of the container 200D matches the comparison source information. When N is greater than 3 and less than or equal to 5, “22” that is the second container information 252a included in the print instruction information 250 is used as comparison source information. Then, it is determined that the bar code values match, and the determination result is transmitted to the main control unit 65.
The printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the second barcode 252 and determines that the orientation of the second barcode 252 is acceptable, the location is unacceptable, and the barcode state is unacceptable.
The main controller 65 accommodates the accommodating material 200D in the container 45 in the same manner as the accommodating material 200C.
The accommodating material 200E is accommodated in the container 35 in the same manner as the accommodating materials 200A and 200B.

As described above, according to the accommodation material inspection device 82 and the accommodation material inspection method of the present embodiment, the contents of the barcodes 251 and 252 printed on the accommodation material 200 are automatically inspected, and the barcode 251, The position and orientation of 252 can be automatically inspected.
Furthermore, even when the barcodes 251 and 252 printed by the container 200 are changed, the contents, position, and orientation of the barcodes 251 and 252 can be inspected.

In the present embodiment, the reading unit is an OCR device, and instead of the barcodes 251 and 252 in the storage material 200, the numerical value of “11” as the first stored object information 251a and the second stored object information 252a. The numerical value “22” may be printed. In this case, the printer 10 prints the first object information 251a on the first material 251b of the storage material 200, and then prints the second object information 252a on the second material 252b of the storage material 200.
A reading part reads the to- be-contained object information 251a and 252a in order of the accommodation material 200 conveyed by the conveyance lane 30. FIG. The reading unit converts the read object information 251 a and 252 a into a signal and transmits the signal to the coincidence determination circuit 81 of the control unit 60.
Thus, even if the accommodation material inspection device 82 and the accommodation material inspection method are modified, the same effects as those of the accommodation material inspection device 82 and the accommodation material inspection method according to the present embodiment can be obtained.

Although the case where the print instruction information 250 includes two types of contained object information 251a and 252a has been described, the print instruction information may include three or more kinds of contained object information.
Although the case where the first object information 251a is different from the second object information 252a has been described, the first object information 251a and the second object information 252a may be the same.

As mentioned above, although 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment of this invention were explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the concrete structure is not restricted to this embodiment, The change of the structure of the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, Combinations, deletions, etc. are also included. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the configurations shown in the embodiments can be used in appropriate combinations.
For example, although the case where the print instruction information of the second embodiment includes two types of stored object information has been described, the print instruction information may include three or more types of stored object information. Specifically, for example, the case where the print instruction information includes three types of stored object information will be described.
As shown in FIG. 20, the print instruction information is recorded as a file.
In the first line of the file, a first quantity 251b that is the quantity of the accommodation material 200 on which the first object information 251a and the first barcode 251 are printed is described. In the second line of the file, second stored object information 252a and a second quantity 252b that is the quantity of the storage material 200 for printing the second barcode 252 are described. In the third line of the file, third stored object information 253a and a third quantity 253b, which is the quantity of the storage material 200 for printing a later-described third barcode 253, are described.

In this example, the first object information 251a is “11”, and the first quantity 251b is “2”. The second object information 252a is “22”, and the second quantity 252b is “1”. The third object information 253a is “33”, and the third quantity 253b is “2”.
In the file, the first stored object information 251a is described in the first line, the second stored object information 252a in the second line, and the third stored object information 253a in the third line. This indicates that printing is performed in the order of 251, second barcode 252, and third barcode 253.

When printing is performed on each storage material 200 by the storage material printing system 2 based on the print instruction information, the result is as shown in FIG. That is, the first barcode 251 is printed on the storage material 200A and the storage material 200B. The second barcode 252 is printed on the housing material 200C. A third barcode 253 is printed on the accommodation material 200D and the accommodation material 200E.
In this case, the coincidence determination circuit 62 determines that N is greater than the sum of the first quantity 251b and the second quantity 252b based on the print instruction information, and the first quantity 251b, the second quantity 252b, and the third quantity 253b. In the case of the sum or less, the third accommodation information 253a is used as comparison source information for the accommodation material 200 conveyed Nth in the conveyance lane 30.
The sum of the first quantity 251b and the second quantity 252b is 3, and the sum of the first quantity 251b, the second quantity 252b, and the third quantity 253b is 5. Accordingly, the coincidence determination circuit 62 compares the N-th material transported in the transport lane 30 with respect to N that is greater than 3 and less than or equal to 5, specifically, the comparison material information for the material 200D and 200E. The third object information 253a is used.

For the accommodating materials 200D and 200E, the coincidence determination circuit 81 determines whether or not the third object information 253a transmitted from the barcode reader 50 coincides with the comparison source information. When N is greater than 3 and less than or equal to 5, “33”, which is the third object information 253a, is used as comparison source information. Then, the determination result of the coincidence of the barcode values is transmitted to the main control unit 65.
On the other hand, the printing state inspection circuit 63 inspects the position and orientation of the third barcode 253 and transmits the determination result of the barcode state to the main control unit 65.

In FIG. 22, a position sensor 338 and a barcode reader 340, which will be described later, are indicated by a two-dot chain line in order to make the base material 300 easy to see.
Below, the base material 300 is demonstrated first. FIG. 22 schematically shows the substrate 300, but FIG. 24 shows the shape of the substrate 300 more accurately.

The base material 300 is, for example, blanks obtained by punching large-sized roll paper or the like printed by multi-sided printing such as 4-sided or 8-sided. As the roll paper, white board paper such as a white ball or paper such as yellow paper board is used. For printing on roll paper, a known printing method such as gravure printing or offset printing can be suitably used.
In the base material 300, a small side plate 301, a bottom plate 302, a small side plate 303, and a top plate 304 are connected in this order in the longitudinal direction X along the long side 302a of the rectangular bottom plate 302.

A flap plate 313 is continuously provided on the side opposite to the side where the bottom plate 302 of the large side plate 311 is provided continuously.
Between the small side plate 301 and the bottom plate 302, a crease having a reference numeral omitted is formed. By using this fold as a hinge, the small side plate 301 can be easily bent with respect to the bottom plate 302.
A fixed pattern 303a, 304a, 310a, 311a (hereinafter referred to as a fixed pattern 303a) is printed on the small side plate 303, the top plate 304, and the large side plates 310, 311. The fixed pattern 303a and the like represent the package design of the base material 300.

The small side plate 301, the bottom plate 302, and the small side plate 303 are areas where the fixed pattern 303a or the like is not printed, and are a first barcode (first variable information code) 321 that is a barcode shown in FIG. In addition, printing areas 301a, 302c, and 303b for printing the second barcode (second variable information code) 322 are provided.
For convenience of explanation, a first numerical value (first variable information) 321 a and a second barcode 322 which are numerical values represented by the first barcode 321 are provided beside the first barcode 321 and the second barcode 322. The 2nd numerical value (2nd variable information) 322a which is a numerical value which represents is shown. Except for FIG. 24, when the first barcode 321 or the second barcode 322 is printed on the substrate 300, the state where the first barcode 321 or the second barcode 322 is printed at one place is schematically illustrated. Show.

A variable information code is a representation of information that has been converted to improve the efficiency and confidentiality of information transmission, such as a bar code or QR code (registered trademark). Means information whose contents cannot be easily understood. The variable information code means a code whose expression content changes depending on the base material 300. The variable information means information such as letters and numbers that allows the user to easily understand the contents of the information.
In this example, the fixed pattern 303a or the like includes a name of a storage item stored in the base material 300 after the base material 300 is assembled in a box shape, a manufacturer name that uses the storage item, a picture representing the storage item, and the like. included. However, the contents described in the fixed picture 303a and the like are not limited to this, and can be selected as appropriate.

Here, the above-described print instruction information will be described.
The print instruction information is recorded on a hard disk, a memory, or the like as a file in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format, for example.
As shown in FIG. 26, in the first line of the file, a first numerical value 321a and a first quantity 321b, which is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the first barcode 321 is printed, are described. In the second line of the file, a second numerical value 322a and a second quantity 322b, which is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the second barcode 322 is printed, are described. The first numerical value 321a and the first quantity 321b, and the second numerical value 322a and the second quantity 322b are each separated by a comma. The first numerical value 321a is different from the second numerical value 322a. In this example, the first numerical value 321a is “11” and the first quantity 321b is “3”. The second numerical value 322a is “22”, and the second quantity 322b is “2”.
In the file, the first numerical value 321a is written in the first line, and the second numerical value 322a is written in the second line, which means that the second barcode 322 is printed after the first barcode 321.

Next, the printer 310 will be described. In this embodiment, a known laser printer is used as the printer 310, but the printer 310 may be an ink jet printer.
As shown in FIG. 27, the printer 310 exposes a case 311, a photosensitive drum 312 accommodated in the case 311, a charging unit 313 for causing negative static electricity on the surface of the photosensitive drum 312, and the charged photosensitive drum 312. An exposure unit 314 having a laser oscillator 314a for developing, a developing unit 315 for attaching the toner T to the photosensitive drum 312, a transfer unit 316 for transferring the toner T attached to the photosensitive drum 312 to the substrate 300, a substrate A fixing unit 317 for fixing the toner T to 300 and a printer control unit 318 for controlling the charging unit 313 and the like are provided.

The photosensitive drum 312 is supported in the case 311 so as to be rotatable around the axis C <b> 1 of the photosensitive drum 312. In the developing unit 315, the toner T is agitated.
The fixing unit 317 fixes the toner T on the substrate 300 by applying heat or pressure to the substrate 300, for example.
In the case 11, a roller 320 for transporting the base material 300 and a roller drive motor (not shown) for rotating the roller 320 are provided.
The printer control unit 318 is connected to the charging unit 313, the exposure unit 314, the developing unit 315, the transfer unit 316, the fixing unit 317, and the roller driving motor, and controls them.

The case 311 can be formed of a steel plate, resin, or the like. The case 311 is formed with an opening 311a and an opening 311b facing each other.
The paper feed tray 322 is attached to the case 311 so that the lower end of the paper feed tray 322 is positioned below the opening 311a. An upstream portion 330a in the transport direction D for transporting the base material 300 in the transport lane 330 is disposed outside the case 311 and below the opening 311b. The conveyance direction D here means a direction connecting the printer 310 and the conveyance lane 330.
The printer 310 configured as described above prints the first barcode 321 on the first quantity 321b of the base material 300 based on the above-described print instruction information, and then the second barcode 322 is based on the second quantity 322b. Printing on the material 300.

The conveyance lane 330 has a known configuration, and has a pair of rollers 332 wound around both sides of the conveyance belt 331 as shown in FIGS. 23, 27, and 28. Each roller 332 is driven by a roller drive motor 333. By driving the roller drive motor 333 and rotating it in a predetermined direction, the pair of rollers 332 rotate, and the transport surface 331a that is the upper surface of the transport belt 331 moves from the upstream portion 330a to the downstream portion 330b in the transport direction D. The conveyance surface 331a conveys the base material 300 from the upstream portion 330a to the downstream portion 330b when the base material 300 is supported.
A guide plate 334 is disposed on the downstream side of the conveyance belt 331 in the conveyance direction D with a rejection mechanism 345 interposed therebetween. Here, the downstream side in the transport direction D means the downstream portion 330 b side with respect to the upstream portion 330 a of the transport lane 330. The upper surface of the guide plate 334 is disposed in parallel with the transport surface 331a (see FIG. 28). On the opposite side of the guide plate 334 from the reject mechanism 345, a container 335 for housing the substrate 300 is disposed.

A position sensor 338 shown in FIG. 22 is attached to the upstream portion 330 a side of the transport lane 330. The position sensor 338 includes, for example, a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit (not shown). The light projecting unit radiates detection light toward the light receiving unit. When the substrate 300 is not disposed between the light projecting unit and the light receiving unit, the light receiving unit receives the detection light. When the light receiving unit stops receiving the detection light, it is detected that the end portion on the downstream portion 330b side of the base material 300 has reached the position P1 through which the detection light passes.
As described above, the transport lane 330 transports the base material 300 printed by the printer 310 in the printed order. That is, the transport lane 330 first transports the substrate 300 on which the first barcode 321 is printed, and then transports the substrate 300 on which the second barcode 322 is printed.

A barcode reader 340 having a known configuration is attached to the conveyance lane 330 on the downstream side 330b side of the position sensor 338. The barcode reader 340 reads the first barcode 321 and the second barcode 322 without reading the first numeric value 321a and the second numeric value 322a.
The barcode reader 340 reads the barcodes 321 and 322 of the base material 300 located below the barcode reader 340 in the order of the base materials 300 transported in the transport lane 330.
The barcode reader 340 that has read the first barcode 321 associates the first barcode 321 with the first numerical value 321a, converts the first numerical value 321a into a signal, and transmits the signal to the control unit 355. The same applies when the barcode reader 340 reads the second barcode 322.

23 and 28, the reject mechanism 345 includes a transport belt 346, a pair of rollers 347 wound around both sides of the transport belt 346, a roller drive motor 348 that drives each roller 347, and a transport belt. And a tilt drive motor 349 for changing the tilt of 346.
Similarly to the transport lane 330, the pair of rollers 347 is rotated by driving the roller driving motor 348 and rotating it in a predetermined direction, and the auxiliary transport surface 346a that is the upper surface of the transport belt 346 is moved.
The tilt drive motor 349 is connected to a pair of rollers 347 via a gear (not shown). By driving the tilt drive motor 349, the auxiliary transport surface 346a can be switched between the non-discharge state P6 and the discharge state P7. In the non-discharge state P6, the auxiliary transport surface 346a is arranged to be parallel to the transport surface 331a as shown by a solid line in FIG. In the discharge state P7, the auxiliary conveyance surface 346a is disposed so as to intersect the conveyance surface 331a as shown by a dotted line in FIG.

The auxiliary conveyance surface 346 a of the conveyance belt 346 supports the base material 300. A container 350 for housing the base material 300 is disposed on the downstream side of the reject mechanism 345 when in the discharged state P7. The container 350 is disposed at a position different from the container 335 on the downstream side in the transport direction D of the transport lane 330.
When the auxiliary conveyance surface 346a is in the non-discharge state P6, the auxiliary conveyance surface 346a conveys the base material 300 to the downstream side in the conveyance direction D of the conveyance lane 330 together with the conveyance surface 331a. The conveyed base material 300 falls from the reject mechanism 345 and the guide plate 334 and is accommodated in the container 335.
On the other hand, when the auxiliary conveyance surface 346a is in the discharge state P7, the auxiliary conveyance surface 346a receives the substrate 300 supported by the conveyance surface 331a from the conveyance surface 331a and conveys the substrate 300 to the container 350.

As shown in FIG. 23, the control unit 355 has a detection unit 357, a memory 358, and a main control unit 359 connected to the bus 356. The bus 356 includes a printer 310, a roller drive motor 333 for the conveyance lane 330, a position sensor 338, a barcode reader 340, a roller drive motor 348 for the reject mechanism 345, a tilt drive motor 349, and a display unit 361 and an input unit 362 described later. , A USB (Universal Serial Bus) hub 363 is connected.
The detection unit 357 and the main control unit 359 have an arithmetic element and an auxiliary memory.
The memory 358 stores a print instruction program for controlling the printer 310, the barcode reader 340, and the like, and an automatic typesetting program described later. As these printing instruction program and automatic typesetting program, known software can be appropriately selected and used.

Next, the detection unit 357 will be described. In the following, it is defined that the symbol N represents a natural number.
Based on the print instruction information, the detection unit 357 detects the error that the substrate 300 is Nth transported in the transport lane 330 and the first barcode 321 is not printed when N is 1 or more and the first quantity 321b or less. Detect the printing substrate. Further, based on the print instruction information, the detection unit 357 is transported Nth in the transport lane 330 and second when N is greater than the first quantity and less than or equal to the sum of the first quantity and the second quantity. An erroneously printed substrate that is the substrate 300 on which the barcode 322 is not printed is detected.

Specifically, the case where the print instruction information is as shown in FIG. 26 will be described.
The printer 310 first prints a first barcode 321 representing “11”, which is a first numerical value 321a, on three substrates 300 having a first quantity 321b. The three base materials 300 are transported in the transport lane 330. That is, when N is 1 or more and 3 or less, the first barcode 321 is printed on the base material 300 that is Nth transported in the transport lane 330.
Next, a second barcode 322 representing “22” as the second numerical value 322a is printed on the two base materials 300 having the second quantity 322b. Following the above-described three base materials 300, the two base materials 300 are transported in the transport lane 330. That is, when N is greater than 3 and equal to or less than 5 which is the sum of 3 and 2, the second barcode 322 is printed on the base material 300 transported Nth in the transport lane 330.

A specific method for detecting an erroneous printing substrate will be described later.
The main control unit 359 controls the entire substrate printing system 301 such as the printer 310 and the transport lane 330.

The display unit 361 has a liquid crystal monitor 361a shown in FIG. The content processed by the main control unit 359 is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 361a. The input unit 362 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like. As the control unit 355, the display unit 361, and the input unit 362, a known personal computer can be suitably used.
A USB memory 330 shown in FIG. 23 having a flash memory can be attached to and detached from the USB hub 363. By attaching the USB memory 330 to the USB hub 363, a file recorded in the USB memory 330 can be copied (copied) to the memory 358 of the control unit 355, or a file recorded in the memory 358 can be copied to the USB memory 330. can do.

Next, the operation of the base material printing system 301 configured as described above will be described. Before using the base material printing system 301, print instruction information is created as described below.
The user records order data, which is an instruction from the customer, in the USB memory 330, for example. The USB memory 330 is attached to the USB hub 363, and the input unit 362 is operated to cause the main control unit 359 to read the automatic typesetting program 340 shown in FIG. The main control unit 359 processes the order data 341 based on the automatic typesetting program 340.
By processing the order data 341, the main control unit 359 transmits image data 342 to be transmitted to the printer 310, data “3” that is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the image data 342 is printed, image data 343, image data Data “2”, which is the quantity of the base material 300 on which 343 is printed, and print instruction information 344 for processing by the print instruction program are created. The image data 342 includes an image of the first barcode 321 and an image of the first numerical value 321a. The image data 343 includes an image of the second barcode 322 and an image of the second numerical value 322a.
The print instruction information 344 has the contents shown in FIG. 26, for example.

When the substrate printing system 301 starts operation, the transport lane 330 is in the non-discharge state P6. The main control unit 359 performs the following steps based on the print instruction program.
The main control unit 359 displays the image data 342, the data “3” that is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the image data 342 is printed, the image data 343, and the quantity “2” that is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the image data 343 is printed. Is sent to the printer 310. The main control unit 359 transmits the print instruction information 344 to the detection unit 357, and the detection unit 357 records the print instruction information 344 in the auxiliary memory.

The printer control unit 318 of the printer 310 that has received the image data 342 and the like from the main control unit 359 causes the surface of the photosensitive drum 312 to be negatively charged by the charging unit 313. The photosensitive drum 312 is rotated in the direction E around the axis C1 by a drum drive motor (not shown) as shown in FIG.
The exposure unit 314 irradiates the photosensitive drum 312 with the laser light L from the laser oscillator 314a. The portion of the surface of the photosensitive drum 312 irradiated with the laser light L is free of negative static electricity. For this reason, the surface of the photosensitive drum 312 is irradiated with the laser light L in a shape representing the image data 342.

The toner T in the developing unit 315 is brought close to the photosensitive drum 312. Then, the toner T adheres only to the portion where the negative static electricity on the surface of the photosensitive drum 312 disappears. The base material 300 disposed on the paper feed tray 322 is conveyed by the roller 320, and the base material 300 is brought into close contact with the photosensitive drum 312.
The transfer unit 316 gives a positive charge from the opposite side of the substrate 300 from the photosensitive drum 312. The toner T adhering to the surface of the photosensitive drum 312 moves to the base material 300.
By applying heat or pressure to the base material 300 or the like by the fixing unit 317, the toner T transferred to the base material 300 is fixed to the base material 300.

Through the above steps, the first barcode 321 is printed on the substrate 300 as shown as N = 1st substrate 300 in FIG. By the same process, the first barcode 321 is printed on the N = 2nd and N = 3rd substrates 300. A second barcode 322 is printed on the N = 4th and N = 5th substrates 300. Hereinafter, the N = 1st base material 300 is represented as a base material 300A. Similarly, the N = 2, 3, 4, and 5th base materials 300 are represented as base materials 300B, 300C, 300D, and 300E, respectively.
In this example, it is assumed that the second barcode 322 is printed on the base material 300C as shown in FIG. 31 for some reason. In this way, the base material 300C that is erroneously printed with respect to the print instruction information 344 is the erroneous printing base material 300C.

At the same time as the printer 310 prints the barcodes 321 and 322 on the substrate 300, the main control unit 359 drives the roller drive motor 333 in the transport lane 330 to move the transport belt 331.
When the N = 1st base material 300A reaches the position P1, the position sensor 338 detects the base material 300A, and the barcode reader 340 starts the operation of reading the barcodes 321 and 322.
Note that the position sensor 338 may detect the number of substrates 300 that have passed the position P1.
When the first barcode 321 of the substrate 300A comes below the barcode reader 340, the barcode reader 340 reads the first barcode 321 of the substrate 300A. The bar code reader 340 converts the first numerical value 321a associated with the read first bar code 321 into a signal and transmits the signal to the detection unit 357 of the control unit 355.

The arithmetic element of the detection unit 357 reads the print instruction information 344 recorded in the auxiliary memory and compares it with the signal transmitted from the barcode reader 340. When N is 1 or more and 3 or less, the first barcode 321 should be read from the base materials 300A to 300C. Therefore, the detection unit 357 determines (determines) the first barcode 321 read from the base material 300A as “read value OK (no problem)”. The substrate 300A is transported downstream in the transport direction D of the transport lane 330 by the transport surface 331a and the auxiliary transport surface 346a while the transport lane 330 remains in the non-discharge state P6. The substrate 300A is accommodated in the container 335.
For the base material 300B, the detection unit 357 determines “reading value OK” in the same manner as the base material 300A.

When the second barcode 322 of the substrate 300C comes below the barcode reader 340, the barcode reader 340 reads the second barcode 322 of the substrate 300C. When N is 1 or more and 3 or less, the first barcode 321 should be read from the base materials 300A to 300C. Therefore, the detection unit 357 determines that the second barcode 322 read from the base material 300C is “read value NG (problem exists)”.
The tilt drive motor 349 is driven to bring the transport lane 330 into the discharge state P7, and the substrate 300C is transported to a position different from the downstream side in the transport direction D of the transport lane 330 by the auxiliary transport surface 346a. The base material 300C is accommodated in the container 350.
When the substrate 300C is accommodated in the container 350, the tilt drive motor 349 is driven to bring the transport lane 330 into the non-discharge state P6.

When the second barcode 322 of the substrate 300D comes below the barcode reader 340, the barcode reader 340 reads the second barcode 322 of the substrate 300D. If N is greater than 3 and less than or equal to 5, the second barcode 322 should be read from the substrates 200D and 300E. Therefore, the detection unit 357 determines that the second barcode 322 read from the base material 300D is “read value OK”.
For the base material 300E, the detection unit 357 determines “reading value OK” in the same manner as the base material 300D.
In this manner, the reject mechanism 345 separates the erroneous printing base material 300C from the base materials 300A, 300B, 300D, and 300E other than the erroneous printing base material 300C. The detected erroneous printing substrate 300 </ b> C is discharged one by one by the reject mechanism 345.

Note that the log file shown in FIG. 32 describing the determination results of the base materials 300A to 300E by the detection unit 357 may be created.
In the first column of the log file, for example, the order (value of N) in which the inspected base materials 300A to 300E are conveyed is recorded. In the second to fourth columns, the hour, minute, and second when the substrates 300A to 300E are inspected are recorded, respectively. In the fifth column, the determination result by the detection unit 357 is recorded. In this example, only the base material 300C conveyed N = 3 is determined to be “read value NG”, so only the determination by the detection unit 357 corresponding to the order of 3 is “NG”, and other determinations are “ “OK”.
This log file is recorded in the memory 358 of the control unit 355, for example.

As described above, according to the substrate printing system 301 of the present embodiment, the bar printed by the substrate 300 is detected by the detection unit 357 detecting the erroneous printing substrate 300C based on the print instruction information 344. Even when the codes 321 and 322 change, it is possible to easily detect the misprinted base material 300C in which the barcodes 321 and 322 are erroneously printed on the base material 300.
Since the transport lane 330 transports the base materials 300 printed by the printer 310 in the order of printing, the order of the base materials 300 printed by the printer 310 based on the ordering data 341 does not change, and the detection unit 357 Detection is easy.

The substrate printing system 301 includes a rejection mechanism 345 having an auxiliary conveyance surface 346a that can be switched between a non-discharge state P6 and a discharge state P7. Thereby, the misprinted base material 300 </ b> C can be reliably separated from the other base material 300.
By recording the log file of the determination result by the detection unit 357, the ratio of the base material 300 determined as “read value NG”, the determined time, and the like can be easily analyzed later.

Note that after the barcodes 321 and 322 are printed on the substrate 300 and inspected by the detection unit 357, the substrate 300 on which the first barcode 321 is printed and the substrate 300 on which the second barcode 322 is printed. Picking may be performed. In this embodiment, since the 2nd barcode 322 is printed after printing the 1st barcode 321 on the base material 300, picking becomes easy.

In the substrate printing system 301 of the present embodiment, the serial number is actually written for each lot. In addition, when printing the barcodes 321 and 322 that are variable information codes, an appropriate quantity can be printed for each product number and recorded as a work record in a log file, so that stricter print quantity management can be performed. . As a result, when a shortage of quantity is pointed out by the customer, it is possible to more appropriately check whether the barcodes 321 and 322 are actually printed.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes modifications, combinations, deletions, and the like within a scope that does not depart from the gist of the present invention. It is.
For example, in the third embodiment, the printer 310 prints numerical values 321a and 322a that are first and second variable information on the base material 300, and the numerical values 321a and 322a are read by a reading unit that is, for example, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) device. May be read. In this case, the first quantity 321b is the quantity of the base material 300 on which the first numerical value 321a is printed, and the second quantity 322b is the quantity of the base material 300 on which the second numerical value 322a is printed.
The printer 310 prints the second numerical value 322 a on the base material 300 after printing the first numerical value 321 a on the base material 300.
When the print instruction information is the example shown in FIG. 26, the detection unit 357 erroneously prints the base material 300 in which N is 1 or more and 3 or less and is transported Nth in the transport lane 330 and the first numerical value 321a is not printed. Detect as substrate. Further, the detection unit 357 detects, as an erroneously printed base material, the base material 300 in which N is greater than 3 and equal to or less than 5 and is transported Nth in the transport lane 330 and the second numerical value 322a is not printed.
Even in the base material printing system of this modification, the same effects as those of the base material printing system 301 of the third embodiment can be obtained.

Although the print instruction information includes two types of variable information, the print instruction information may include three or more types of variable information. Specifically, for example, the case where the print instruction information includes three types of variable information will be described.
As shown in FIG. 33, the print instruction information is recorded as a file.
In the first line of the file, a first numerical value 321a and a first quantity 321b which is the quantity of the base material 300 on which the first barcode 321 is printed are described. In the second line of the file, a second numerical value 322a and a second quantity 322b that is the quantity of the substrate 300 on which the second barcode 322 is printed are described. In the third line of the file, a third numerical value 323a and a third quantity 323b which is the quantity of the base material 300 on which a third barcode 323 described later is printed are described.
In this example, the first numerical value 321a is “11” and the first quantity 321b is “2”.
The second numerical value 322a is “22”, and the second quantity 322b is “1”. The third numerical value 323a is “33”, and the third quantity 323b is “2”.
In the file, the first numerical value 321a is written in the first line, the second numerical value 322a is written in the second line, and the third numerical value 323a is written in the third line, so that the first barcode 321, the second barcode 322, The three bar codes 323 are printed in this order.

When printing is performed on each substrate 300 by the substrate printing system 301 based on this print instruction information, it is as shown in FIG. That is, the first barcode 321 is printed on the base material 300A and the base material 300B. A second barcode 322 is printed on the substrate 300C. A third barcode 323 is printed on the substrate 300D and the substrate 300E.
In this case, the detection unit 357 has N larger than the sum of the first quantity 321b and the second quantity 322b for the base materials 300D and 300E, and the first quantity 321b, the second quantity 322b, and the third quantity. If it is less than or equal to the sum of the quantities 323b, an erroneously printed base material that is the base material 300 that is transported Nth in the transport lane 330 and on which the third barcode 323 is not printed is detected.
The sum of the second quantity 322b and the third quantity 323b is 3, and the sum of the first quantity 321b, the second quantity 322b, and the third quantity 323b is 5. Therefore, when N is greater than 3 and less than or equal to 5, the detection unit 357 detects an erroneously printed base material that is the base material 300 that is transported Nth in the transport lane 330 and the third barcode 323 is not printed. To detect.

The case where the variable information is the numerical values 321a and 322a has been described. However, the variable information may be characters or symbols, or a combination of numerical values, characters and symbols.
In the present embodiment, the erroneous printing base material 300 </ b> C detected by the detection unit 357 is discharged one by one by the reject mechanism 345. However, when the detection unit 357 detects at least one erroneously printed substrate among the substrates 300A to 300E, the substrates 300A to 300E may be discharged together from the reject mechanism 345. With this configuration, the number of times the reject mechanism 345 is switched between the non-discharge state P6 and the discharge state P7 can be reduced.

Although the sorting unit has been described as being the reject mechanism 345, the sorting unit may be a device that sorts by marking a misprinted substrate.
The substrate printing system 301 may not include the position sensor 338 and the rejection mechanism 345.
The case where the substrate 300 is blanks obtained by punching roll paper or the like has been described. However, the base material may be a base material in which blanks are sack pasted.
