[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a printing sheet with an identification mark , and more particularly, to a folding sheet for printer printing that is a single folding sheet and can accommodate a plurality of feed lengths .
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, the folding paper 1 as shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a product information entry piece 2 and a recording piece 3. The product information entry piece 2 and the recording piece 3 are divided by perforations 4 and 5. On the surface of the product information entry piece 2, a part number, a part name, a barcode, a delivery destination, and the like are printed. A part number or the like is printed on the surface of the recording piece 3.
[0003]
Further, identification marks 6 for identifying the printing position are provided on the back side of the folding paper 1 at a predetermined interval. These identification marks 6 are provided, for example, at the left end of the folding paper 1 when viewed from the upper surface in the figure, and further orthogonal to the transport direction. Here, the folding sheet 1 of FIG. 4 shows a sheet having a wide interval between the identification marks, that is, a printing size of “L” . When the interval between the identification marks is narrow, that is, when the print size is “S” , the folded paper 1a is as shown in FIG. That is, in the case of the folding paper 1a, the interval between the identification marks 6a is made smaller than the interval between the identification marks 6 on the folding paper 1. The print sizes “L” and “S” are distinguished by the interval between the identification marks 6 and 6a.
[0004]
When printing is performed on the folding sheet 1 having a printing size of L, when the leading end of the folding sheet 1 is inserted from the feeding side of the printer 10 shown in FIG. The folding paper 1 is conveyed to the print head 14 side by the drive rollers 11 and 12 that perform the above.
[0005]
At this time, the light reflection sensor 13 provided at a position through which the identification mark 6 of the folding paper 1 passes detects the identification mark 6, thereby grasping the printing position on the folding paper 1 and the print head 14. Is printed on the folding paper 1.
[0006]
When the folded paper 1 on which printing has been performed is further conveyed to the discharge port side, it is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter 16 provided on the discharge port side.
[0007]
When printing is performed on the folding paper 1a having the printing size S, the identification mark 6a of the folding paper 1a is detected in place of the folding paper 1 having the printing size L, and printing is performed in the same manner as described above. Is called.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, as described above, although the printing with the printing size L or S is performed by using the folding sheets 1 and 1a, it is necessary to prepare two types of the folding sheets 1 and 1a. Two types are required, which not only increases the inventory space, but also increases the work associated with inventory management.
[0009]
Further, since the light reflection sensor 13 of the printer 10 is provided at a position through which the identification marks 6 and 6a of the folding sheets 1 and 1a pass, the insertion direction of the folding sheets 1 and 1a from the feeding side of the printer 10 is wrong. Then, printing on the folding sheets 1 and 1a becomes impossible, and in this case, there is a problem that the re-insertion of the folding sheets 1 and 1a is forced again.
[0010]
The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and can save space for printing paper in stock and reduce work associated with inventory management, and easily insert printing paper into a printer. In addition, it is possible to provide a printer-printed folding sheet that can be reliably performed.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The folding paper for printer printing according to claim 1 is provided with a plurality of identification marks for identifying a printing position on the surface opposite to the surface on which the printing paper is printed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the printing paper. This is a long belt-like printer printing folding paper having a row of identification marks and the interval between the identification marks being one unit of printing paper. The row of identification marks has at least two rows of a first row of identification marks along one edge of the printing paper and a row of second identification marks along the other edge, The interval between the identification marks in the first identification mark row is wider than the interval between the identification marks in the second identification mark row, and corresponds to a plurality of feed lengths with a single folding sheet.
In the vicinity of the first identification mark and the second identification mark, it is desirable to with an arrow indicating the direction of insertion into the printer.
In the vicinity of the first identification mark and the second identification mark, it is preferable to attach a letter indicating the feed length of the printing paper one unit.
In the printer printing folding paper according to the present invention, the first identification mark or the second identification mark is detected at the time of printing, so that printing according to the interval between the identification marks is performed.

[0014]
As shown in FIG. 1, a product information entry piece 2 and a recording piece 3 are provided on a folding paper 1 </ b> A as a printing paper. The product information entry piece 2 and the recording piece 3 are divided by perforations 4 and 5.
[0015]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of identification marks 6 and 6a for identifying the printing position are provided on the back side of the folding paper 1A. Here, the identification mark 6 is a first identification mark, and the identification mark 6a is a second identification mark.
[0016]
The identification marks 6 and 6a are provided at the left end and the right end of the folding paper 1 when viewed from the upper surface in the figure, and are further orthogonal to the transport direction. Here, the identification mark 6 corresponds to one having a printing size L with a wide interval between the identification marks (long feeding length of one unit of printing paper) . Further, the identification mark 6a corresponds to the one having a printing size of S in which the interval between the identification marks is narrow (the feeding length of one unit of printing paper is short) . That is, the interval between the identification marks 6 is wider than that of the identification mark 6a. Further, the print size , that is, the letters “L” and “S” indicating the feed length of one unit of the printing paper are printed in the vicinity of the identification marks 6 and 6a, and the print size can be easily confirmed visually. It is like that.
[0017]
Further, an arrow indicating the direction of insertion into the printer 10 described later is attached in the vicinity of each of the identification marks 6 and 6a. By thus arrows in the vicinity of the identification mark 6,6a is attached, Ru can see the direction of insertion into the printer 10 in accordance with the print size of the "L" and "S" easily.
[0018]
Here, the printer 10 shown in FIG. 3 performs printing on such a folding sheet 1A. The configuration of the printer 10 will be briefly described. The drive roller 11, 12, a light reflection sensor 13, a print head 14, a platen roller 15, and a cutter 16. The drive rollers 11 and 12 convey the folded paper 1A to the print head 14 side in synchronization with the rotation of the platen roller 15. The light reflection sensor 13 is provided at a position through which the identification mark 6 or 6a of the folding paper 1A passes. By detecting the identification mark 6 or 6a by the light reflection sensor 13, the printing position on the folding paper 1A is grasped. The print head 14 performs printing according to the detection result of the identification mark 6 or 6a by the light reflection sensor 13. The cutter 16 cuts the folded paper 1A on which printing has been performed into a predetermined length.
[0019]
Next, a method for printing on such a folding sheet 1A will be described.
[0020]
First, when printing is performed on the folding paper 1A in accordance with the L print size, the identification mark 6 corresponding to the print size L is confirmed, and an arrow attached in the vicinity of the identification mark 6 is checked. Check the orientation.
[0021]
Next, when the leading edge of the folding paper 1A is inserted with the direction of the arrow directed toward the feeding side of the printer 10, the folding paper 1A is moved to the print head by the drive rollers 11 and 12 that rotate in synchronization with the platen roller 15. It is conveyed to the 14 side. At this time, the light reflection sensor 13 provided at a position through which the identification mark 6 of the folding paper 1A passes is detected, whereby the printing position on the folding paper 1A is grasped, and the print head 14 Is printed on the product information entry piece 2 and the recording piece 3 of the folding paper 1A.
[0022]
At this time, since the print head 14 presses the folded paper 1A against the platen roller 15 side with a predetermined pressure, printing without printing misalignment is performed. When the folded paper 1A on which printing has been performed is further conveyed to the discharge port side, it is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter 16 provided on the discharge port side.
[0023]
Next, when printing is performed on the folding paper 1 </ b> A in accordance with the S printing size, the folding paper 1 </ b> A inserted in the printer 10 is once extracted, and its rear end is directed toward the feeding side of the printer 10. At this time, the identification mark 6a corresponding to the printing size S is confirmed, and the direction of the arrow attached in the vicinity of the identification mark 6a is confirmed.
[0024]
Next, when the leading edge of the folding paper 1A is inserted with the direction of the arrow directed toward the feeding side of the printer 10, the folding paper is driven by the drive rollers 11 and 12 that rotate and synchronize with the platen roller 15 as described above. 1A is conveyed to the print head 14 side. At this time, the light reflection sensor 13 provided at a position where the identification mark 6a of the folding paper 1A passes is detected, whereby the printing position on the folding paper 1A is grasped, and the print head 14 Is printed on the product information entry piece 2 and the recording piece 3 of the folding paper 1A. At this time, since the print head 14 presses the folded paper 1A against the platen roller 15 with a predetermined pressure, printing without printing misalignment is performed as described above. When the folded paper 1A on which printing has been performed is further conveyed to the discharge port side, it is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter 16 provided on the discharge port side.
[0025]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the identification mark 6 corresponding to the print size L and the identification mark 6a corresponding to the print size S are respectively provided on the surface opposite to the surface on which the folding paper 1A is printed. In addition to being provided at the edge and by detecting the identification mark 6 or 6a at the time of printing, printing according to the print size is performed, so that the folding paper can be used regardless of whether the print size is L or S. Since only one type of inventory is required for 1A, not only can the space be saved, but the work associated with inventory management can be reduced.
[0026]
In addition, since an arrow indicating the direction of insertion into the printer 10 is attached in the vicinity of the identification marks 6 and 6a, the folding paper 1A can be easily and reliably inserted into the printer 10 at the time of printing according to the printing size. To be done.
[0027]
In this embodiment, the example in which the identification marks 6 and 6a are attached to the edge of the back surface of the printing paper has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the position of the identification mark is aligned with the position of the light reflection sensor 13 of the printer 10. It goes without saying that can be arbitrarily changed. The printing paper may be any printing paper such as a tag, label, or tape.
[0028]
