Description
本公开涉及打印领域，例如涉及一种标记纸打印控制方法及打印机。The present disclosure relates to the field of printing, for example, to a marking paper printing control method and a printer.
标记纸广泛应用于电力、物流、医疗等行业，用于打印电力标识、物流面单及采样标识等。常用的标记纸有黑标纸和标签纸。图1示出了相关技术的黑标纸示意图，如图所示，黑标纸包括基纸和印刷在基纸上的黑块，其中，黑块为标记，黑块以外的部分为非标记；图2示出了相关技术的标签纸示意图，如图所示，标签纸包括衬纸和粘贴在衬纸上的标签，其中，相邻两张标签之间的衬纸为标记，标签为非标记。为了描述方便，通常将两标记M之间的距离称为标记纸的页面长度L。现有的标记纸打印机，通过控制标记纸的页面长度自动校准来检测标记纸的页面长度，基本原理是：在打印机走纸通道设置传感器，利用传感器电压变化，检测标记纸的标记，并将检测到的相邻两个标记之间的距离即标记纸的页面长度存储到打印机的非易失性存储器。当更换标记纸时，打印机启动页面长度自动校准，更新打印机非易失性存储器内存储的标记纸的实际页面长度。Marking paper is widely used in electric power, logistics, medical and other industries for printing power identification, logistics face sheets and sampling marks. Commonly used marking papers are black label paper and label paper. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a related art black mark paper. As shown, the black mark paper includes a base paper and a black block printed on the base paper, wherein the black block is a mark, and a portion other than the black block is a non-mark; 2 shows a schematic view of a label paper of the related art. As shown, the label paper includes a liner and a label attached to the liner, wherein the liner between the adjacent labels is a mark and the label is non-marked. . For convenience of description, the distance between the two marks M is generally referred to as the page length L of the mark paper. The existing marking paper printer detects the page length of the marking paper by controlling the page length automatic calibration of the marking paper. The basic principle is: setting the sensor in the paper path of the printer, using the sensor voltage change, detecting the marking of the marking paper, and detecting The distance between the adjacent two marks, that is, the page length of the mark paper, is stored in the non-volatile memory of the printer. When the marker paper is replaced, the printer initiates a page length auto-calibration that updates the actual page length of the marker paper stored in the printer's non-volatile memory.
现有的标记纸打印控制方法，用户通过打印请求装置(如计算机)向打印机发送打印数据，打印机接收到打印数据后直接在标记纸上打印。发明人发现，如果打印数据中的页面长度小于标记纸的页面长度时，该打印数据能够被完整的打印在一张标记纸上，如果打印数据的页面长度与标记纸的页面长度大于时，该打印数据会被打印在多张标记纸上，无法正常使用，造成标记纸的作废。特别是，在批量打印时，由于打印请求装置一次下发的打印数据中包含多长页面的打印数据，因此，一旦打印数据的页面长度大于标记纸的实际页面长度时，将造成大量标记纸作废。In the existing marking paper printing control method, the user sends the printing data to the printer through a printing requesting device (such as a computer), and the printer directly prints on the marking paper after receiving the printing data. The inventor has found that if the length of the page in the print data is less than the page length of the mark paper, the print data can be completely printed on one piece of mark paper, if the page length of the print data is greater than the page length of the mark paper, The print data will be printed on multiple sheets of marking paper and will not work properly, causing the marking paper to become obsolete. In particular, in the batch printing, since the print data sent by the print requesting device at one time contains the print data of the long page, once the page length of the print data is larger than the actual page length of the mark paper, a large amount of mark paper is invalidated. .
针对相关技术的标记纸打印时可能造成标记纸作废的问题，目前尚未提出有效解决方法。There is a problem that the marking paper may be invalidated when the marking paper of the related art is printed, and no effective solution has been proposed yet.

方法一，查询用于表示页面行数的控制指令，确定待打印页面的长度。
In the first method, a control instruction for indicating the number of page lines is queried, and the length of the page to be printed is determined.
方法二，计算待打印页面的长度。计算方法如下：当控制装置10接收的打印数据包括图形数据时，把接收的打印页面的图形数据先存储在存储器之中，然后计算在标记纸的前进方向上待打印图像的行数；当控制装置10接收的打印数据包括字符数据时，首先把字符数据转换成图形数据，然后再计算图形数据的行数，其中，所述标记纸的前进方向是指标记纸由打印机1的打印装置14向打印机1的标记纸的出口移动的方向。Method two, calculate the length of the page to be printed. The calculation method is as follows: when the print data received by the control device 10 includes graphic data, the graphic data of the received printed page is first stored in the memory, and then the number of lines of the image to be printed in the forward direction of the marking paper is calculated; When the print data received by the device 10 includes character data, the character data is first converted into graphic data, and then the number of lines of the graphic data is calculated. wherein the forward direction of the marking paper means that the marking paper is directed by the printing device 14 of the printer 1. The direction in which the exit of the marking paper of the printer 1 moves.
控制装置10读取闪存存储器13中存储的标记纸的实际页面长度，以获取标记纸的实际页面长度。其中，标记纸的实际页面长度是通过执行页面长度自动校准后存储到闪存存储器13中的，或者由用户根据打印机使用的标记纸的规格设置到闪存存储器13中的。The control device 10 reads the actual page length of the marker paper stored in the flash memory 13 to obtain the actual page length of the marker paper. The actual page length of the mark paper is stored in the flash memory 13 after the page length is automatically calibrated, or is set in the flash memory 13 by the user according to the specifications of the mark paper used by the printer.
需要说明的是，在本公开的其他实施例中，也可以通过执行标记纸的页面长度自动校准获取标记纸的实际页面长度，其中，参见图5，标记纸的页面长度自动校准包括：It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the actual page length of the marking paper may also be obtained by performing automatic calibration of the page length of the marking paper. Referring to FIG. 5, the automatic calibration of the page length of the marking paper includes:

In step S220, the actual page length of the marker paper is calculated by detecting the sensor output value.
走纸过程中，标记纸每走一个预设距离，记录一次传感器16的输出值，根据输出值的变化规律以及标记纸已走的距离之间的对应关系，计算出相邻两个标记之间的距离，即标记纸的实际页面长度。During the paper feeding process, the mark paper records the output value of the sensor 16 every time a predetermined distance is taken, and calculates the relationship between the adjacent two marks according to the change rule of the output value and the distance between the marked papers. The distance, which is the actual page length of the marked paper.
可选地，标记纸的页面长度自动校准方法还包括：Optionally, the automatic page length calibration method of the marking paper further includes:
步骤S230，驱动所述标记纸后退所述第一预定距离。Step S230, driving the marking paper to retreat the first predetermined distance.
输送装置15驱动标记纸回退第一预定距离，使标记纸回退到初始位置，以避免浪费未使用的标记纸。其中，所述标记纸后退的方向是指与标记纸的前进方向相反的方向。The conveying device 15 drives the marking paper back by a first predetermined distance to cause the marking paper to be retracted to the initial position to avoid wasting unused marking paper. Wherein, the direction in which the marking paper retreats refers to a direction opposite to the advancing direction of the marking paper.
可选地，控制装置10仅在上电后执行第一次打印时，通过执行标记纸的页面长度自动校准获取标记纸的实际页面长度，并将获取到的标记纸的实际页面长度存储在闪存存储器13中，在上电后执行非第一次打印时，通过读取闪存存储器13获取标记纸的实际页面长度。如此，既能保证标记纸的实际页面长度的准确性，又能避免每次打印时都执行标记纸的页面长度自动校准，从而提高了
打印速度。Optionally, the control device 10 obtains the actual page length of the mark paper by performing automatic calibration of the page length of the mark paper only when the first print is performed after power-on, and stores the actual page length of the obtained mark paper in the flash memory. In the memory 13, when the non-first printing is performed after power-on, the actual page length of the label paper is obtained by reading the flash memory 13. In this way, the accuracy of the actual page length of the marking paper can be ensured, and the automatic correction of the page length of the marking paper can be avoided every time the printing is performed, thereby improving the
printing speed.
步骤S130，判断待打印页面的长度与标记纸的实际页面长度是否匹配。In step S130, it is determined whether the length of the page to be printed matches the actual page length of the mark paper.
控制装置将获取的待打印页面的长度与标记纸的实际页面长度进行对比，可选地，当待打印页面的长度小于等于标记纸的实际页面长度时，判定二者匹配，当待打印页面的长度大于标记纸的实际页面长度时，判定二者不匹配。The control device compares the obtained length of the page to be printed with the actual page length of the mark paper. Optionally, when the length of the page to be printed is less than or equal to the actual page length of the mark paper, it is determined that the two match, when the page to be printed When the length is greater than the actual page length of the label paper, it is determined that the two do not match.
需要说明的是，判断待打印页面的长度与标记纸的实际页面长度是否匹配的标准可以根据实际需要设定，在本公开的其他实施例中，当标记纸的实际页面长度与待打印页面的长度的差值大于零且小于设定阈值时，控制装置10判定二者匹配，当标记纸的实际页面长度与待打印页面的长度的差值小于零或大于设定阈值时，控制装置10判定二者不匹配。这种判定原则能够避免待打印页面的长度相对标记纸的实际页面长度过小，而引起的浪费标记纸的问题。It should be noted that the criterion for judging whether the length of the page to be printed matches the actual page length of the mark paper may be set according to actual needs. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when the actual page length of the mark paper and the page to be printed are When the difference of the length is greater than zero and less than the set threshold, the control device 10 determines that the two match, and when the difference between the actual page length of the mark paper and the length of the page to be printed is less than zero or greater than the set threshold, the control device 10 determines. The two do not match. This decision principle can avoid the problem of wasting the mark paper caused by the length of the page to be printed being too small relative to the actual page length of the mark paper.
当待打印页面的长度与标记纸的实际页面长度匹配时，执行步骤S140，当待打印页面的长度与标记纸的实际页面长度不匹配时，执行步骤S150。When the length of the page to be printed matches the actual page length of the mark paper, step S140 is performed, and when the length of the page to be printed does not match the actual page length of the mark paper, step S150 is performed.
步骤S140，打印待打印页面。Step S140, printing a page to be printed.
