self-service printer

Abstract

This application relates to a self-service printer, which includes a cabinet and a printer body, including a remote communication controller, a relay, and an indicating device; the remote communication controller is used to control the restart of the printer body through a relay; the remote communication controller is also connected to the indicating device, and the remote communication control The device is also used to send a control instruction only once to control the pointing device to enter the pointing state or the closing state. By using a remote communication controller with a relay and an indicating device, on the one hand, it is beneficial to remotely control the restart of the printer body, avoiding the need for personnel to rush to the scene due to printer downtime, and improving maintenance efficiency. On the other hand, the indicating device interacting with the user does not need to be continuously sent The remote communication controller only needs to send the "on" or "off" control command to avoid taking up a large computer computing power and data transmission bandwidth, so as to avoid the excessive control commands caused by the traditional control method. Problems with packet loss, remote control failure.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of printing, in particular to self-service printers. Background technique [0002] Traditional self-service printers can usually only be used indoors. User data is encrypted and uploaded to the cloud, and the self-service printer terminal downloads and prints out. The user has a simple flashing indicator light to guide the human-computer interaction during the pick-up process. However, due to the sealing of the device, it is easy to Pollution inside the machine and damp paper are prone to failures such as printing jams. [0003] The Chinese patent with publication number CN207209537U discloses a paper discharge mechanism, a printing device using the paper discharge mechanism, and a self-service printing terminal. The paper discharge mechanism includes a paper discharge channel extending from the rear of the printing device to the front, so The upper side and the lower side of the paper discharge channel are respec...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when the traditional self-service printer equipment is directly placed outdoors, the blinking of the indicator light interacting with the user is controlled by continuously sending switch signals through RS485, which will occupy a large computer computing power and data transmission bandwidth, and even cause data packet loss, remote The problem of control failure; if the printer is down, it cannot be operated remotely to troubleshoot, which increases the cost of on-site maintenance of personnel
