Printing device provided with mechanism for correcting deformation of print medium

Abstract

The invention provides a printing device provided with a mechanism for correcting deformation of a print medium. The printing device performs reading and writing of magnetic information and printing of printing information on a volume-shaped print medium having a magnetic strip and a print zone. The printing device includes: a magnetic data processing unit for reading and writing magnetic data on the magnetic stripe of the print medium; a print processing unit for printing data in the print zone while the printing head is pressing the print medium to the platen; and a control unit. The control unit determines that there has occurred deformation of the print medium at the position where an erroneous read has occurred when the erroneous read occurs on the magnetic data of the magnetic stripe by the magnetic data processing unit, performs blank printing by the print processing unit in the print zone at the position where an erroneous read has occurred, and corrects the deformation of the print medium by the push of the platen and the printing head on the print medium through the blank printing, thereby reading again the magnetic data on the magnetic stripe by the magnetic data processing unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing device which reads and writes magnetic information and prints printed information on a printing medium such as a receipt having a magnetic stripe and a printing column, and is provided with a deformable medium for correcting deformation such as curling of the printing medium corrective institution. Background technique [0002] In the past, for example, in ATM (automated teller [telling] machine: automatic teller machine) etc., there is the magnetic head that is provided with the magnetic stripe of the passbook with magnetic stripe that is inserted into the passbook insertion port to read and write magnetic data, and the magnetic head in the passbook. A passbook printing device, a passbook processing device, a magnetic stripe processing device, etc. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3.) [0003] Patent Document 1 provides a passbook printing device that can cope with the same device even if ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0016] When there is a gap difference between the magnetic stripe and the magnetic head, the reading output of the magnetic data read by the magnetic head from the magnetic stripe decreases, and magnetic data reading failure occurs, and the passbook cannot be printed, and the passbook is returned to the customer, prompting to retry again. insert

[0017] Customers usually think that this is a malfunction on the ATM side, so the trouble of reinserting the passbook after being returned will cause customer dissatisfaction and is not ideal

[0018] In the above-mentioned patent documents 1, 2, and 3, although it is recorded that the magnetic head can cope with the thickness change of the passbook caused by the turning of the passbook or the thickness change of the passbook caused by the crease at the binding line, it is not considered. Bad reading of magnetic data due to the gap between the magnetic stripe and the magnetic head caused by curling of the edge
