[0022] The terms used in the implementation section of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0023] Before describing the embodiments of the present application, the related technologies and problems of the related technologies are first described.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in the related art, a printer includes an eject roller 1 and a duplex roller 2. Duplex roller 2 is driven by a clutch, while eject roller 1 is driven by a stepper motor. Stepper motors are characterized by a ramp-up acceleration process upon startup, while clutch drive requires almost no startup time, meaning the linear speed is consistent with the paper path's transport speed. The paper path's transport speed is driven by a DC motor, which is characterized by its ability to quickly reach the target speed upon startup. Therefore, when eject roller 1 and duplex roller 2 are started simultaneously, duplex roller 2 reaches the target speed first, followed by eject roller 1 some time after startup, resulting in inconsistent speeds at startup. Furthermore, due to the uneven distribution of duplex rollers 2 on the left and right sides of the paper—for example, if duplex roller 2 is absent on the left side but present on the right—during startup, the speed of the left side of the paper is determined by eject roller 1, while the speed of the right side is determined by duplex roller 2. This inconsistent speed can easily lead to paper tilt and jams.

[0025] In order to solve the above problems, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are provided, and the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a printer, the printer including a printing path 10 and a surface changing path 20, an inlet 20A of the surface changing path 20 being connected to an outlet 10B of the printing path 10, an outlet 20B of the surface changing path 20 being connected to the inlet 10A of the printing path 10, an outlet 10B of the printing path 10 being provided with a discharge roller 1, and a double-sided roller 2 being provided in the surface changing path 20, the printer control method comprising:

[0027] Step 101: Control the discharge roller 1 and the double-sided roller 2 to stop rotating;

[0028] When the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 are controlled to stop rotating, if a resume conveying instruction is received, step 102 is executed to start the reverse rotation of the discharge roller 1. After a first preset time has passed since the discharge roller 1 was started to reverse, the duplex roller 2 is started to rotate. The reverse rotation direction of the discharge roller 1 is such that a print medium, such as paper, enters the print path 20, and the rotation direction of the duplex roller 2 is such that the print medium is conveyed from the inlet 20A to the outlet 20B of the print path 20.

[0029] In the control method of the embodiment of the present application, in the process of the discharge roller and the double-sided roller starting from pause, the discharge roller is started first, and the double-sided roller is started after the discharge roller has been started for a certain time. That is, the discharge roller with a slower starting speed can be started first, and after it climbs to reach the target speed, the double-sided roller is started. In this way, the paper jam problem caused during the restart process can be reduced.

[0030] In one possible embodiment, step 101, controlling the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 to stop rotating includes: controlling the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 to stop rotating when the discharge roller 1 reverses and the duplex roller 2 rotates so that the printing medium enters the face-changing path 20 or is transmitted in the face-changing path 20.

[0031] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, during the process in which the discharge roller 1 is reversed and the duplex roller 2 is rotated so that the printing medium enters the face-changing path 20 or is transported in the face-changing path 20, controlling the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 to stop rotating includes:

[0032] Step 1001: Control the discharge roller 1 to rotate forward so that the print medium is discharged from the outlet 10B of the print path 10;

[0033] Step 1002: When the end of the print medium is discharged from the outlet 10B of the print path 10 to the first preset position A, the discharge roller 1 is controlled to reverse, and the duplex roller 2 is controlled to rotate so that the print medium enters the print path 10, and timing is started.

[0034] Step 1003 determines whether the second-side print content information is received within the second preset time from the start of timing. If not, that is, if the second-side print content information is not received within the second preset time from the start of timing, step 1004 is executed to control the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 to stop rotating. If the second-side print content information is received within the second preset time from the start of timing, step 103 is executed to continue controlling the discharge roller 1 to reverse and the duplex roller 2 to rotate, thereby continuing printing.

[0035] Specifically, the first preset position A can be the reversal point of the printing medium. That is, during duplex printing, the printing medium is reversed at the first preset position A to print on the second side. Step 1001 is the process of printing the first side of the paper. A corresponding first sensor can be provided at the first preset position A of the printer. The first sensor is used to detect the printing medium at the first preset position A. When the end of the printing medium is discharged from the exit 10B of the printing path 10 to the first preset position A, the printer has completed the printing of the first side of the medium and needs to print on the second side. At this time, a timer is started to determine whether the printer has received the second side printing content information before the printing medium reaches the duplex roller 2. The second side printing content information refers to the content information to be printed on the second side of the printing medium. If the printer receives the second side printing content information, it indicates that the printer is ready to print on the second side and the second side printing process can be continued. If the second side printing content information is not received, it indicates that the printer is not yet ready to print on the second side. Therefore, the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 are controlled to stop rotating until the printer receives the second side printing content information, and then the second side printing process can be resumed. In this process, step 102 is the step of resuming the second-side printing process. Before this step, the printing medium has not reached the position of the duplex roller 2. Therefore, before the duplex roller 2 rotates, the duplex roller 2 will clamp the front end of the printing medium, but the front end of the printing medium will not move forward until the clutch is started and the duplex roller 2 starts to rotate, so that the duplex roller 2 and the discharge roller 1 drive the front and rear ends of the printing medium at the same speed and at matching speeds, thereby reducing the probability of double-sided paper jams caused by the tilt of the printing medium.

[0036] In a possible implementation, the resume transmission instruction is the second side printing content information, that is, the printer resumes executing the second side printing process after receiving the second side printing content information.

[0037] In one possible embodiment, the second preset time is equal to the ratio of the path distance between the duplex roller 2 and the first preset position A to the linear velocity of the discharge roller. That is, as the print medium begins its return from the first preset position A to the side-swap path 20, if the printer receives information about the second-side print content before the print medium reaches the position of the duplex roller 2, the print medium can continue to be transported without pausing. If the printer still does not receive information about the second-side print content before the print medium reaches the position of the duplex roller 2, the print medium is paused until the second-side print content information is received, at which point the discharge roller 1 and duplex roller 2 are restarted. This second preset time setting maximizes printing efficiency while minimizing the likelihood of paper jams.

[0038] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, in the process of the discharge roller being reversed and the double-sided roller being rotated so that the printing medium enters the side-changing path or is transported in the side-changing path, controlling the discharge roller and the double-sided roller to stop rotating includes: in the process of the discharge roller being reversed and the double-sided roller being rotated so that the printing medium enters the side-changing path or is transported in the side-changing path, executing step 1005, determining whether an abnormal instruction is received, and if so, that is, if an abnormal instruction is received, executing step 1004, controlling the discharge roller and the double-sided roller to stop rotating, and if not, that is, if no abnormal instruction is received, executing step 103; the recovery transmission instruction is an abnormal recovery instruction.

[0039] Specifically, an exception command is a command generated when a printer malfunctions. That is, after step 1002, as long as the printer malfunctions, the process proceeds to step 1004. The process continues until the malfunction is resolved and a recovery command is received, at which point step 102 is executed to resume duplex printing. During the printer recovery process, the reverse rotation of the discharge roller 1 is first activated. After a first predetermined time has passed since the reverse rotation of the discharge roller 1, the duplex roller 2 is activated, ensuring that the two rollers transport the print media at matching speeds, thereby reducing the likelihood of paper jams.

[0040] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control method further includes: if the front end of the printing medium reaches the second preset position B through the side-changing path, executing step 104, controlling the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 to stop rotating. Specifically, for example, a second sensor is provided at the second preset position B, and the second sensor is used to detect the printing medium at the second preset position B. When the second sensor detects the front end of the printing medium, it indicates that the printing medium has completed the side-changing and can then be printed on the second side. At this time, the discharge roller 1 and the duplex roller 2 are paused to implement the next printing process.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, the first preset time is equal to the time from when the discharge roller 1 is started to when it reaches the maximum rotation speed, that is, when the discharge roller 1 reaches the maximum rotation speed, the double-sided roller 2 is controlled to start, so as to improve the printing efficiency while improving the paper jam problem.

[0042] The present application also provides a control device, such as Figure 5 As shown, it is used for a printer, the printer includes a printing path and a side-changing path, the entrance of the side-changing path is connected to the exit of the printing path, the exit of the side-changing path is connected to the entrance of the printing path, the exit of the printing path is provided with an ejection roller, and the side-changing path is provided with a double-sided roller, the control device includes: a pause module 100, used to control the ejection roller and the double-sided roller to stop rotating; a recovery module 200, used to start the ejection roller reversal if a recovery transmission instruction is received when the ejection roller and the double-sided roller are controlled to stop rotating, and start the double-sided roller to rotate after a first preset time for starting the ejection roller reversal.
