Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention makes it easy to correct the wrong printing when the front and back sides of a timecard, that is, the first half and the second half of the month, are mistakenly printed. The present invention relates to a printing system for a time recorder that can be visually identified.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when printing the time in each time stamp field of a time card using a time recorder, in order to confirm the printing date, there is a mark in each time stamp field as generally indicated by the symbol A in Figure 1. The current time a and date b or day of the week characters (not shown) are printed together. However, each time stamp field on the time card that is normally used is extremely small (the one shown is 6/6 vertically
mm, width 12/mm), there is a problem that if the current time a and date b are printed together in this small time stamp field, the spacing between each character becomes narrow and it becomes difficult to read.

On the other hand, printing on time cards can usually be divided into printing using movable type and printing using a dot printer.
Even if the date and date b are printed together, the print is clear and easy to read. However, as shown in the figure, printing using a dot printer, which is commonly used in electronic time recorders, is relatively unclear due to the dot matrix pattern.
When the current time a and date b are printed together in a small time stamp field as described above, there is a problem in that it becomes very difficult to read.

Therefore, when printing using a dot printer, by printing the date in each printing column of the timecard in advance, printing of date b or day of the week characters can be stopped, and only time a can be printed in the printing column. I thought about that. If printing of date b etc. is stopped in this way, the printing space for current time a becomes larger, so as shown in the upper column of Figure 1, the current time is displayed in a wide and clear manner in a dot matrix pattern at intervals. It became possible to print on

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if date b or day of the week characters are not printed in this way, if the printing user mistakenly prints the front side (the first half of the month) and the back side (the second half of the month) of the time card, As a result, this incorrect printing and the correct printing will be printed twice, so when counting later, it is difficult to determine whether the double printing is due to a mistake between the front and back sides.
It is not possible to determine whether this is due to a mistake caused by repeated printing, and it is also possible to determine whether the blank space with no printing that occurred as a result of double printing was caused by the above-mentioned printing mistake or by simply forgetting to print. Since it was not possible to determine whether the error had occurred, the tabulation work became extremely troublesome, and there were cases in which salaries were calculated based on the incorrect tabulation without being able to detect the error. In addition, some people exploit the above-mentioned flaws by printing in the second half of the month in blank fields that were closed in the first half of the month, or by printing in advance in the blank fields for the second half of the month and then taking a day off on the same day or showing up late. There was a problem that some people were making various kinds of fraudulent printing.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that by simply looking at the time stamp printed in the printing field of the time card,
To make it possible to reliably discriminate between the front and back insertion errors of a time card or fraudulent printing, and to perform this discrimination in the same way even when correct printing and erroneous printing are double printed.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

(1) When printing the current time using a dot printer, a code for distinguishing between the first half and the second half of the month should be printed between each hour and minute mark.

(2) The identification code for the first and second halves shall be such that even if both are printed twice, their form can be distinguished.

However, the first half and second half of the month here are determined based on the salary cutoff date, and do not necessarily mean the first half and the second half of the month. Also, codes that can be used to distinguish between the two forms even if they are printed twice are, for example, "-1" and ":" or "-1".
and symbols such as “=”.

[Effect]

The above-mentioned means constituting the present invention operate as follows.

The factor (1) above is to ensure that the current time is printed on the correct side of the timecard, that is, the month, by looking at the identification code printed between the hour and minute of the current time printed on the timecard. It is possible to judge whether the first half or the second half of the text is correct, and to easily point out mistakes.

The above factor (2) applies even when double printing is performed, in which incorrect printing is performed on the wrong front and back, and correct printing is repeated.
By looking at the identification code, you can check whether there is a printing mistake or
It is easy to find out if there is an incorrect position.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problem can be solved by the above-mentioned means, and the problems of the prior art can be solved.

〔Example〕

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the time recorder printing system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a time card in which the current time is printed in order using the printing system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a back view of the time card. 1 is a time card, and 2 and 3 are print frames printed on the front side 1a and the back side 1b of the time card 1, respectively. 2a... and 3a...
. . . is a time stamp field printed in multiple stages in both the above-mentioned printing frames 2 and 3. In the case of the time card 1 shown in the figure, it is the first half of the month as stated in the date, that is, "21st to 5th".
Each time stamp field 2a for "day" is printed on the front side 1a of the card, and each time stamp field 3a for the second half of the month, that is, "6th to 20th" is printed on the back side 1b of the card.
This is of course one example of implementation.

4... and 5... print the front side 1a and back side 1b of the time card 1 using the dot printer 11 of the time recorder 10 shown in the block diagram of FIG.
The time stamps printed in the respective time stamp columns 2a..., 3a... are as shown in the figure.
Only the current time is printed in 3a, and the above-mentioned date or day of the week characters are not printed at all. Also,
Each of the above time stamps 4 and 5 has a slight interval 4a, 5a (usually one character) between the hour and minute stamps.
These spaces 4a and 5a are used to distinguish between the front and back sides 1a and 1b of the time card 1.
In addition, two kinds of identification codes 6 and 7 on the front and back sides, which can confirm both forms even if double printing is performed, are printed together with the time stamps 4 and 5 by the dot printer 11 described above.

In the illustrated embodiment, the symbol ":" is printed as the discrimination code 6 printed on the front side 1a of the card, and the symbol "-" is printed as the discrimination code 7 printed on the back side 1b. This is an example of an embodiment, and for example, as shown in FIG. 3, contrary to the above embodiment, the front side 1a side discrimination code 6 is set to "-", and the back side 1b side discrimination code 7 is set to ":". Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the front side 1a side discrimination code 6 may be set to "-" and the back side 1b side discrimination code 7 may be set to "=". Also, the above ":" and "-"
In the case of the discrimination mark, if both are printed twice, it will have the same form as a division mark, and if both the "-" and "=" signs are printed double, it will look like three lines,
Alternatively, since it is a single thick line, it can be determined that the time stamp is double printed on the front and back sides. The types and combinations of the above-mentioned discrimination codes 6 and 7 are completely free as long as they can distinguish between front and back and double printing.

In addition, the above-mentioned discrimination codes 6 and 7 are controlled by the dot printer 11 according to a program of the control unit 12 (see FIG. 5) composed of a microcomputer, etc., so that in the first half of the month, the discrimination code 6 on the surface 1a side is set to the side of the moon. In the latter half, the identification code 7 on the back side 1b is automatically printed, but the dot printer 11 or the control unit 12
Since it is a general one, a detailed explanation of its structure will be omitted.

Since the present invention is as described above, in the first half of each month, there are 6 discriminating marks 6 on the front side at the intervals 4a between the time stamps 4.
is printed, and in the second half of each month, the identification code 7 on the back side is printed in the interval 5a between each time stamp 5, so by checking these identification codes 6 and 7, the time card It has now become possible to easily discover erroneous printing that is printed on the wrong front and back sides of 1. That is, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the symbols 8 and 9 shown as a whole are the time stamps printed on the front and back of the time card 1 by mistake, and the front and back distinguishing codes 6 and 7 are used as shown above. By checking this, it is possible to easily discover the presence of incorrect printing among the printing group.
In addition, you can easily check on what day the incorrect printing occurred by comparing the date columns on the front and back of timecard 1, and even when the incorrect printing and correct printing are double printed. , by checking the front and back discrimination codes 6 and 7, it can be easily distinguished.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the printing system of the present invention, by checking the identification code printed together with the time stamp, it is possible to detect incorrect printing due to the wrong front or back of the time card, fraudulent printing intentionally made by mistake, etc. , double printing can be easily distinguished, and therefore incorrect printing can be corrected and fraudulent printing can be accurately detected to perform correct aggregation. Since it has become possible to print only the time stamp, it is possible to print the time stamp widely to fill the printing field, and to print the time stamp in a dot matrix pattern clearly and easily. Although simple, it is suitable for implementation in various time recorders.
