Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a seal issuing device.

[Prior art] Conventionally, for example, when a child enters elementary school in the first year,
Parents had to write their names on pencils, pencils, and various other personal items, and their parents were troubled. Also, since it must be written on various materials such as leather, plastic, wood, etc., there are some things that are difficult to write, which has further troubled my head.

For this reason, recently, the business of ordering at a supermarket or the like to make a name sticker has been performed. This is to place an order by specifying the name, size, seal type, etc. at the reception counter.

There is also a method of asking a general printing shop to print the name on plain paper or sticker paper as a special order.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Items ordered at the above supermarkets and the like take 1-2 weeks to be delivered, so there is no immediacy, and there is a problem that they cannot be used when needed now (in many cases). In addition, at the time of ordering, it is not possible to confirm how the applied name actually looks like and there is a problem that anxiety remains.

On the other hand, if you use a print shop, the price will be very high (in most cases, you will not be able to place an order)
There was a problem that it was difficult to use.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily issue a sticker in which a desired image is printed on a plurality of sticker stamps.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an operation unit having various keys and the like operated by a customer, a display screen for displaying various guidances and menus for the customer, and the same sticker on a predetermined sticker sheet. A sticker issuing unit integrally containing a sticker issuing unit for printing and issuing a plurality of sheets in a vertical box, and sequentially operating via the operation unit according to various guidance and menus displayed on the display screen. Thereby, a seal image creating means for creating one seal image desired by the customer, a sample display means for displaying one seal image created by the seal image creating means as a sample on the display screen, After one sample seal image is displayed on the display screen, when a print execution instruction is given through the operation unit, And a printing means for repeatedly printing the same sticker as the one sticker image created by the sticker image creating means at a plurality of printing positions on the predetermined sticker sheet.

[Explanation of Functional Block Diagram] FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram, and a display unit A is a unit such as a CRT for displaying various characters and the like. Selection means B
Is means for selecting a desired character or the like from among the various characters displayed above. The printing means C is means for printing the selected characters and the like on sticker paper. The designating means D is a means for designating the output form of the character or the like.

Embodiment An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10.

FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the seal making device. The control section 1 controls the entire device including a CPU. The CRT device 2 displays guidance, kana, kanji, and the like. The input unit 3 is operated by a customer or a store clerk while looking at the screen of the CRT device 2 to select a name, a title of a notebook, and the like. The printer 4 is a page printer such as an LCS or a laser, and prints on a seal sheet 6 set on an APF (auto paper field) 4a and sends it to a receiving table 4b. The front door 5 can be opened and closed, and is opened at the time of inspection or the like.

FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the input unit 3. The initial button 31 is operated at the beginning of creating a seal, and the up, down, left, and right cursor buttons 32 are operated to move the cursor on the screen so that desired characters and characters are displayed. The selection button 33 is used to select a kana or kanji character at which the cursor is positioned, and the enter button 34 is operated to determine if the selected character or item is acceptable.

The front button 36 and the back button 37 are used to turn a page and search for a desired kanji on the display screen of the CRT device 2 because the kanji is displayed on a page-by-page basis such as opening a dictionary. When the user operates the button 36, the previous page is displayed, and with the back button 37, the next page is displayed.

Each button of the input unit 3 is indicated by a symbol or a hiragana so that a child can handle it.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the seal making apparatus, and those corresponding to FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The control unit 1 including a CPU and the like performs control based on various control programs in the ROM 10. The character pattern memory 11 has kana and kanji vector font data and dot font data. When a kanji is selected, the kanji is displayed in page units, but in order to create the atmosphere of turning over the dictionary and searching for kanji, the control unit 1 uses the book shape image (FIG. 7A) in the book shape memory 13 and the kanji. Are superimposed (FIG. 7B) and displayed on the CRT device 2.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the display screen explanatory diagram of FIG. 5 and the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the power of the apparatus is turned on, the processing of the steps of the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 is performed.
