This setting item is associated with two types of setting values “normal” and “high speed”. The “machine name” is a setting item for specifying a character string as identification information set for uniquely specifying the printing apparatus 100. Here, “machine name” is not set.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The communication unit 30 is an interface for receiving supply of print data from an external device such as a computer. The printing apparatus 100 is configured to be connectable to an external apparatus via a parallel port or a LAN (Local Area Network). The input unit 40 includes a plurality of buttons for inputting instructions for various operations by the user.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the input unit 40 in the present embodiment. The input unit 40 of this embodiment includes a power switch SW and a plurality of buttons B1 to B5. The power switch SW is a switch for switching the printing apparatus 100 on / off. A predetermined function is assigned to each of the buttons B1 to B5, and each function changes according to switching of the operation mode.

  In the “print mode”, only the buttons B3 to B5 are used, and the buttons B1 to B2 do not function. The button B3 is a button for instructing to perform a page break, the button B4 is a button for instructing to perform a line feed, and the button B5 is instructed to switch to an online state. It is a button for. Hereinafter, particularly in this operation mode, the buttons B3, B4, and B5 are referred to as “page break button”, “line feed button”, and “online button”, respectively.

  On the other hand, in the “setup mode”, all of the buttons B1 to B5 are used. Buttons B1 and B2 are buttons for instructing to move a print head 52, which will be described later, to the left and right, respectively. Buttons B3 and B4 are buttons for instructing to move the paper downward and upward, respectively. The button B5 is a button for instructing the user to confirm the operation. Hereinafter, particularly in this operation mode, the buttons B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 are referred to as “left button”, “right button”, “down button”, “up button” and “confirm button”, respectively.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The printing unit 50 prints characters and figures on paper by transferring ink based on print data supplied via the communication unit 30 and the control unit 10. Here, the “character” includes numbers and symbols. The “paper” is a sheet-like object having a predetermined width, and the material is not particularly limited, but paper is mainly used. The paper may be a standard size so-called cut paper or a long so-called roll paper.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the printing unit 50 in more detail. As shown in the figure, the printing unit 50 includes a feed roll 51, a print head 52, a carriage 53, and a platen roll 54. In the figure, P is a sheet. The feed roll 51 is a roll member that transports the paper P in an upward direction (a direction from the feed roll 51 toward the platen roll 54) or a downward direction (a direction from the platen roll 54 toward the feed roll 51). The print head 52 includes a heating element at the tip thereof, and heats the ink ribbon film IR interposed between the print head 52 and the paper P. The ink ribbon film IR is coated with a black dye, and the dye is transferred to the paper P by heating. The carriage 53 moves the print head 52 in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the paper P, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. In the figure, it is assumed that the direction toward the front of the page is “left direction” and the direction toward the back of the page is “right direction”. The platen roll 54 is a roll member that is disposed at an appropriate interval from the print head 52, and improves the adhesion between the print head 52 and the paper P during dye transfer.

  The print head 52 is configured so that the position of its tip can be visually recognized by the user. The user can directly check the position on the paper P where the tip of the print head 52 is located, for example, through an opening provided in the casing of the printing apparatus 100 or a transparent window region. Further, it is assumed that the print head 52 is at a position corresponding to the left end of the sheet when the printing operation is not performed. This position is hereinafter referred to as “home position”.

[Operation]
With the above configuration, the printing apparatus 100 prints characters and figures corresponding to the print data input via the communication unit 30 on a sheet. This is the normal printing operation, that is, the operation in the “print mode”. The control unit 10 of the printing apparatus 100 causes the printing apparatus 100 to operate in the “setup mode” when a predetermined input is made to the input unit 40. The input for instructing the start of the operation in the setup mode is not particularly limited. Here, when the user turns on the power switch SW while pressing the button B1, the printing apparatus 100 is configured to operate in the setup mode. Suppose that Hereinafter, the operation of the printing apparatus 100 in the setup mode will be described.

  When the operation in the setup mode is started, the control unit 10 of the printing apparatus 100 first prints the characters shown in FIG. 5 on a sheet. The control unit 10 temporarily stores the position of the printed character on the paper in the RAM 12 at this time. The data stored in the RAM 12 at this time is the contents indicated by the printed character and the horizontal and vertical coordinates indicating the position where the character (or the area near the character) is printed. When the character printing is completed, the control unit 10 causes the paper to be conveyed upward and moves the print head 52 to the home position. As a result, the print head 52 stops at the position indicated by the arrow H in FIG.

  Here, the user performs an instruction to move the print head 52 to a desired position via the input unit 40 while confirming the position of the print head 52. At this time, the print head 52 functions as a pointer (instruction means) indicating a position corresponding to the function desired by the user. The control unit 10 controls the carriage 53 according to the input instruction and moves the print head 52. In this case, the user presses the left button B1 or the right button B2 a predetermined number of times, and moves the print head 52 to a position corresponding to one of “setting”, “other setting”, “setting list”, and “end”. To stop.

  When the print head 52 moves to a desired position, the user presses the confirmation button B5 to select execution of the function indicated at that position. When the confirmation button B5 is pressed, the control unit 10 performs processing corresponding to any of “setting”, “other setting”, “setting list”, and “end” in accordance with this instruction. In the following, operations corresponding to “setting”, “other setting”, and “setting list” will be described. Note that “end” means that the operation in the setup mode is ended. That is, when the confirm button B5 is pressed at a position corresponding to “End” in FIG. 5, the control unit 10 switches the operation mode of the printing apparatus 100 to the print mode.

(1) Operation when “Setting” Function is Selected In the “setting” function, among the setting items stored in the storage unit 20, “interface type”, “top margin amount”, “automatic online”, “ Settings for items such as “printing direction” and “printing speed” can be made. Each setting item is printed in the same manner as in selecting each function, and is selected by the user. Here, the operation will be described by exemplifying the case where the “interface type” is selected by the user and the case where the “top margin amount” is selected.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed when the control unit 10 of the printing apparatus 100 sets “interface type”. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing characters printed on the paper when the “interface type” is set. Hereinafter, the operation of the printing apparatus 100 will be described along the flowchart of FIG. 6 with reference to FIG. 7 as appropriate. An arrow H shown in FIG. 7 indicates the position of the print head 52.

  First, the control unit 10 prints setting values that can be set for the selected setting item “interface type”, that is, two setting values “LAN” and “Centro” (step S1). Then, the control unit 10 temporarily stores the position of the printed character on the paper at this time in the RAM 12 (step S2). Thereafter, the controller 10 determines whether or not there is an input by the left button B1 or the right button B2 (step S3), and moves the print head 52 according to the determination result (step S4). Here, the user moves the print head 52 by pressing the left button B1 or the right button B2, and stops the print head 52 at a position indicating the desired interface type. For example, if “Centro” is selected in the state shown in FIG. 7, the user presses the right button B2 once and selects “LAN” without pressing any button. Maintain the state.

  In a state where the print head 52 is stopped, that is, in a state where the left button B1 and the right button B2 are not pressed, the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is an input by the confirm button B5 (step S5). While the confirm button B5 is not pressed, the control unit 10 repeats the processes after step S3 described above. On the other hand, when an input is made by the confirm button B5, the control unit 10 refers to the information stored in step S2, specifies the character string (that is, the set value) selected by the user (step S6), and the printing apparatus. 100 sets each part necessary for performing the operation according to the set value (step S7). At this time, the control unit 10 stores the set value in the storage unit 20 as a default value.

  Next, the operation of the printing apparatus 100 when “top margin amount” is selected will be described. In the printing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, for a setting value specified by a numerical value of a plurality of digits such as “upper margin amount”, the numerical value can be arbitrarily changed. Here, a process for realizing this function will be described in detail. It should be noted that here, the description of the portion that performs the same processing as in the case of the “interface type” described above will be omitted as appropriate.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed when the control unit 10 of the printing apparatus 100 sets the “upper margin amount”. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing characters printed on the sheet when the “top margin amount” is set. Hereinafter, the operation of the printing apparatus 100 will be described along the flowchart of FIG. 8 with reference to FIG. 9 as appropriate. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the same reference numerals are given to the steps for performing the processes substantially similar to those in the flowchart shown in FIG. An arrow H shown in FIG. 9 indicates the position of the print head 52.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the “upper margin amount” is set, a character string “others” is printed in addition to the set value stored in the storage unit 20. The user selects “Others” when setting a value different from a predetermined set value as the upper margin amount. The operations other than the case where “other” is selected are basically the same as the case where the “interface type” is set.

  Therefore, the characteristic operation when setting the “upper margin amount” is the process when “others” is selected, that is, the processes of steps S8 and S9. Here, the control unit 10 specifies the character string selected by the user with reference to the information stored in step S2 when input is made by the confirm button B5 (step S6), and the specified character string is “others”. Is determined (step S8). If the specified character string is “others”, the control unit 10 executes a process for causing the user to set a setting value (hereinafter referred to as “user setting process”) (step S9).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the above-described user setting process. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing characters printed on paper when performing this user setting process. Hereinafter, the operation of the printing apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. An arrow H shown in FIG. 11 indicates the position of the print head 52.

  First, the control unit 10 prints a settable number at the second integer (the tenth place) of the set value (step S901), and temporarily stores the position of the printed number on the paper in the RAM 12 at this time. (Step S902). FIG. 11A shows the printing state of the paper at this time. Thereafter, the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is an input by the left button B1 or the right button B2 (step S903), and moves the print head 52 according to the determination result (step S904). For example, if the user sets “2” to the second integer, the user may press the right button B2 twice in the state shown in FIG. And the control part 10 judges the presence or absence of the input by the decision button B5 (step S905). While the confirm button B5 is not pressed, the control unit 10 repeats the processes after step S903 described above.

  On the other hand, when an input is made with the confirm button B5, the control unit 10 refers to the information stored in step S902, identifies the number selected by the user (step S906), and informs the user of the identified number. Therefore, a predetermined character or figure is printed in the vicinity of the specified number (step S907). At this time, characters and figures to be printed are arbitrary, but for example, an underline or an asterisk (*) is desirable. Subsequently, the control unit 10 conveys the sheet in the upward direction, and prints a number that can be set to the first integer (one) of the set value (step S908). FIG. 11B shows the paper printing state at this time.

  Thereafter, the control unit 10 specifies the first integer number selected by the user in the same manner as in the second integer position (steps S909 to S914). Further, in the same manner as in the case of the second integer and the first integer, the first decimal number selected by the user is also specified (steps S915 to S921). Finally, the control unit 10 specifies the set value set by the user by combining the specified integer second, integer first, and decimal first values (step S922). For example, in the printing state shown in FIG. 11C, the setting value set by the user is specified as “21.3 (mm)”.

  For convenience of explanation, although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, according to the printing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, selection of some numbers can be omitted. For example, in the first place of the integer or the second place of the decimal, by selecting “end” (see FIGS. 11B and 11C) at the right end without selecting a specific numerical value, “0” is substituted. For example, if “end” is selected in the printing state shown in FIG. 11B, the setting value set by the user is specified as “20.0 (mm)”.

  As described above, according to the printing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, various settings can be easily changed without using a display. Further, according to the printing apparatus 100, even if the setting value is a plurality of digits such as the above-described upper margin amount, an arbitrary value desired by the user can be set.

(2) Operation when “Other Settings” Function is Selected In the “other settings” function, among the setting items stored in the storage unit 20, “machine name” can be set. The method for setting the machine name is basically the same as the method for setting the “top margin amount” described above, but in addition to numbers, alphabets and symbols (“− (hyphen)”, “_ (underscore) ) "Etc.) can also be used. Here, FIG. 12 is a diagram exemplifying characters and the like that are printed on paper when setting the “machine name”. In the figure, the symbol “◇” printed at the right end is determined by the contents selected by the user so far and is selected when the setting of the machine name is to be ended. That is, in the case of the example shown in the figure, by selecting the symbol “◇” when setting the fourth character of the machine name, the selection contents for the previous three characters, that is, the character “FX1” A column is specified as a setting value representing a machine name.

(3) Operation when the “Setting List” function is selected In the “Setting List” function, the setting items that can be set in the “Setting” function are displayed in a list, and multiple setting items can be set together. It becomes. Here, FIG. 13 is a diagram exemplifying characters printed on paper when setting a plurality of setting items collectively. In this example, the setting value can be selected by pressing the left button B1 or the right button B2, and the setting item can be switched by pressing the lower button B3 or the upper button B4. The specific procedure for selecting each set value is almost the same as in the case of (1) described above. According to such a function, even if there are a wide variety of setting items, it is possible to check and change them by printing them all at once, and the convenience for the user can be improved.
