A multi-format printing device

Abstract

The invention provides a set of multi-standard printing equipment. The multi-standard printing equipment comprises a communication interface, a data storage chip, a central control device, paper storage devices, a paper feeding device and a printing device. The communication interface is used for receiving a printing instruction of a user and transmitting the instruction to the central control device. The data storage chip is used for storing the corresponding relation between each paper storage device and each printing paper standard. The central control device is used for determining the target paper storage device according to the printing paper standards contained in the printing instruction of the user and the corresponding relation between each paper storage device and each printing paper standard, sending a paper discharging instruction to the target paper storage device, sending a paper feeding instruction to the paper feeding device and sending printing information contained in the printing instruction of the user to the printing device. Each paper storage device is used for storing printing paper with a set standard and outputting the printing paper to the paper feeding device when receiving the paper discharging instruction. The paper feeding device is used for receiving the printing paper from the target paper storage device when receiving the paper feeding instruction and conveying the paper to the printing device. The printing device is used for receiving the printing information and printing the printing information onto the printing paper conveyed by the paper feeding device. The multi-standard printing equipment can automatically feed the paper and support printing of vouchers or receipts with multiple standards and has the advantages of being high in automation degree and working efficiency, low in error rate and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printing, in particular to a multi-standard printing device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology, various industries need to use information systems to handle more and more types of business, and correspondingly, the types of paper or business vouchers printed in different formats are also increasing. brings pressure. [0003] The traditional processing method is that the operator inputs different operating instructions according to the customer's business needs, and after processing the corresponding business transactions through the information system, then manually selects the corresponding standard paper or business vouchers (such as various invoices, documents, deposit certificates, records, etc.) account vouchers, checks, etc.), put them on the printer to complete the printing function, and finally complete the business processing. However, th...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method has defects such as time-consuming, low efficiency, and error-prone. For example, printers currently used in most industries have two paper feeding methods, one is manual feeding, and the other is automatic paper feeding; Paper-based printers generally adopt the paper-pushing method, that is, the operator holds the voucher and bills and sends them directly from the paper inlet of the printer. After the printer detects the paper, it drives the motor to send the printing medium into the printer for printing. In this way, when the operator is handling the printing business, he needs to manually confirm the type of voucher to be used according to the type of business, and send it to the printer for printing by hand, which is very prone to errors; especially when encountering a business that uses multiple Different types of vouchers need to be manually inserted one by one, which is very inefficient; printers that use automatic paper feeding use continuous paper feeding to print, but the printer can only support one standard of vouchers or documents at a time. When encountering the need to use multiple types of vouchers, the only way to manually change the printing voucher paper is not suitable for handling the printing processing requirements of multiple types of vouchers; in addition, some units generally require operators not to randomly print on the desktop for standardized services. Business vouchers, documents, etc. must be placed in drawers, desk cabinets, or voucher boxes. In this way, operators must manually select vouchers or documents according to the type of business, and then place them on the printer for printing, resulting in time-consuming and service efficiency. Low cost, high manual error rate, etc., also brings difficulties in how to properly place dozens of vouchers and documents

[0004] In response to this problem, some industries have adopted a mode in which one computer is connected to multiple printers, and each printer handles different types of vouchers separately. The disadvantage of this method is that the equipment is expensive and the management is complicated.

[0005] To sum up, there is currently a lack of a technology that can automatically feed paper and support the printing of multiple formats of vouchers or documents, so as to solve the problems of low automation and high error rate in the current printing technology for multiple formats of vouchers or documents
