Printing device provided with mechanism for correcting deformation of print medium

Abstract

A printing device 1 includes: a magnetic data processing unit 37 for reading and writing magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 40 of the print medium 11; a print processing unit 38 for printing data in the print zone while the printing head 2 is pressing the print medium 11 to the platen 7; and a control unit 35. The control unit 35 determines that there has occurred deformation 41 of the print medium 11 at the position where an erroneous read has occurred when the erroneous read occurs on the magnetic data of the magnetic stripe 40 by the magnetic data processing unit 37, performs blank printing by the print processing unit 38 in the print zone at the position where an erroneous read has occurred, and corrects the deformation 41 of the print medium 11 by the push of the platen 7 and the printing head 2 on the print medium 11 through the blank printing, thereby reading again the magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 40 by the magnetic data processing unit 37.

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
