Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a delivery label by which time for classification can be shortened and a classification error can be reduced, by printing delivery information having character information in which each destination classified label is provided with color discrimination on the basis of the delivery information of a data processor. CONSTITUTION:A data processor 1 consists of a control part 5, an input/output part 6 related to the input/output of data, and an interface part 7 transferring information. The information processed by edition as each destination classified label printing information by the procedure of a program on the basis of the input data of delivery information is sent from the interface part 7 to the interface part 7 of a printer 3 and thereafter, sent to a color printing output part 10 as printing output data in accordance with the control part 9 of the color printer 3. Hereinafter, it is used as each destination classified label 4 for sticking to package and classifying operation. In order to clarify the discrimination by color, each destination classified label 4 has a color discriminating print part 12 on the frame or the like of the label and a delivery name discription column 13, a destination name column 14, and a destination address column 15 are therein as those to be printed as character information.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a delivery label printing system, and more particularly to a printing system for classification labels by destination of delivery packages.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of delivery system has issued labels for each destination with simple text information mainly in black, but since it only contains text information, it takes time to set up and is prone to errors in reading. This caused manual sorting errors.

In addition, even if color printing labels are added separately and improvements are made, printing labels must be ordered from a printing company in advance, and adding new labels requires additional time for checking and pasting text labels. It had become necessary.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional delivery system described above displays only text as the classification label for each destination of the package, so it takes time to decipher the text when sorting by hand, and when the label is moved a little away from the label. It is difficult to read the labels, so it takes time to sort them by looking at the labels, and they also have the disadvantage of being prone to errors.

In addition to text labels, it was also considered to sort labels by color using color printed labels as a method of sorting labels based on visual intuition, but it was possible to request labels from a printing company in advance, or use text labels. Since this method is used in conjunction with the 2018-2015 label, there was a new drawback in that the amount of work increased, such as the need to match the character label with the color classification label and to perform new pasting work.

An object of the present invention is to provide a delivery label printing system that creates delivery labels that can reduce sorting time and reduce sorting errors by combining print information and color information.

[Means for solving problems]

The configuration of the delivery label printing system of the present invention includes a data processing device that edits delivery information including character information such as a flight number, destination address, and name and color identification information in advance as destination-specific label printing information; a color printing device that prints the text and color identification information on a print medium that serves as the destination classification label for each package for delivery based on information from the processing device, and the classification by destination based on the delivery information from the data processing device; It is characterized by printing delivery information having character information in addition to color identification on the label.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system diagram of a delivery label printing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Delivery information processed by the data processing device 1 based on character information and color identification information is sent to a color printing device 3 via a transmission cable 2, and is printed out in color as a destination classification label 4. One or more color printing devices 3 can be connected to the data processing device 2.

Figure 2 shows data processing device 1 and color printing device 3.
This is a simple functional block diagram showing the inside of the system.

The following explanation focuses on the flow of data.

The data processing device 1 is similar to a general stored program system, and its main functions include a control section 5 that controls the entire processing device, an input/output section 6 for inputting and outputting data, and an interface that transfers information to the color printing device 3. Based on the input data of delivery information, the information edited as destination-specific classification label printing information by the program procedure is sent from the interface section 7 to the interface of the color printing device 3 via the transmission cable 2. The data is sent to the ace section 8, and then sent to the color print output section 10 as print output data according to the control section 9 of the color printing device 3.
The data is sent to the computer and appears as a printout on print media. This is used as the destination classification label 4 for pasting on packages and for sorting work. The label printing method is the same as a general printing method.

FIG. 3 shows a specific printing example of the destination classification label 4, and the format, material, etc. may be the same as those of commonly used labels. In order to clearly distinguish by color, it is necessary to provide a color identification printed portion 12 in the frame of the label or the like. Further, there are a flight number entry field 13, a destination name field 14, and a destination address field 15 as text information to be printed, and it is of course possible to print in other fields.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention edits printing information of a classification label by destination using a data processing device based on delivery information and color identification information, and then prints the information sequentially onto print media via a color printing device. Issued as a classification label for each destination. This has the effect of increasing work efficiency, such as reducing work errors and shortening work time in the subsequent manual sorting work of delivery order. Furthermore, compared to the method of adding a new color printed label to a text-only destination classification label, this method has the effect of eliminating the need for new pasting, checking, etc. Furthermore, by providing a label for each product, it can be used as a classification label for each product, and can also be used for sorting shelves when products purchased from outside are received.
