[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0044] It is understood that although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flow chart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims or the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0045] When the amount of data is large and the number of labels is large, the printer is prone to repeatedly printing the same file or missing a file, wasting resources and increasing costs. At present, the main method of detecting duplicate or missed printing is to detect after the printing is completed. The real-time performance is poor and it is impossible to remind the user in time before printing, which is easy to cause confusion and waste of resources. Therefore, how to improve the real-time performance of detecting duplicate or missed printing has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0046] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a printer control method and a printer. After receiving the current printing instruction sent by the printing terminal, the printer will fill the current marking information in the current printing instruction into the printing data record table, and then request the printing terminal to obtain the current file to be printed according to the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit, obtain the file acquisition result, and fill the file acquisition result into the printing data record table. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the printer has a missing print fault according to the current marking information and the file acquisition result in the printing data record table, and then control the printing of the printer. Since this judgment occurs before the printer prints the current file to be printed, the present application can effectively improve the real-time performance of missing print detection and avoid waste of resources.

[0047] First, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the printer control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0048] Step S100, in response to the current printing instruction sent by the printing terminal, determining the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit according to the current printing instruction, and filling the current marking information into the printing data record table;

[0049] Step S200, requesting the printing terminal to obtain the current file to be printed according to the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit, obtaining the file acquisition result, and filling the file acquisition result into the printing data record table;

[0050] Step S300, judging the printer for a missing print fault according to the current mark information in the print data record table and the file acquisition result, and obtaining a first judgment result;

[0051] Step S400: Controlling printing of the printer according to the first judgment result.

[0052] It is understandable that if the printing terminal needs the printer to print a file, the printing terminal will first send the current printing instruction to the printer, and the current printing instruction includes the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit, and the current marking information is used to mark the current file to be printed. In response to the current printing instruction sent by the printing terminal, the printer first determines the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit according to the current printing instruction, and then requests the printing terminal to obtain the current file to be printed according to the current marking information and the file acquisition time limit, obtains the file acquisition result, and fills the file acquisition result into the printing data record table. Among them, within the file acquisition time limit, the printer successfully obtains the current file to be printed, and the file acquisition result is the obtained current file to be printed; similarly, within the file acquisition time limit, if the printer does not obtain the current file to be printed, the file acquisition result is empty. In addition, by setting the file acquisition time limit, it can effectively avoid the situation where the printer is stuck due to the inability to obtain the current file to be printed for a long time. Since after obtaining the file acquisition result, the file acquisition result will also be filled into the printing data record table, at this time, the printing data record table records the current marking information and the file result corresponding to the current marking information. The printer's missed print fault is that the printer fails to obtain the current file to be printed. Since the file acquisition results generated by the printer when it successfully obtains the current file to be printed and fails to obtain the current file to be printed are different, the printer can be judged for a missed print fault based on the current mark information and file acquisition results in the print data record table. When the printer does not have a missed print fault, it will also generate a first feature code corresponding to the current file to be printed, and then use the first feature code and the feature code comparison table to perform a reprint fault judgment.

[0053] It should be noted that after the file acquisition result is filled into the print data record table, the printer can be judged for a missing print fault based on the current marking information and the file acquisition result. If the file acquisition result corresponding to the current marking information in the print data record table is empty, it means that the printer has not obtained the current file to be printed within the file acquisition time limit, and it can be determined that the first judgment result of the printer's missing print fault judgment is that the printer has a missing print fault. Similarly, if the file acquisition result corresponding to the current marking information in the print data record table is the current file to be printed corresponding to the current marking information, it means that the printer has successfully obtained the current file to be printed, and it can be determined that the first judgment result of the printer's missing print fault judgment is that the printer does not have a missing print fault. After obtaining the first judgment result, the printer is controlled to print to avoid wasting printing resources and improve printing efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that when the first judgment result is that the printer has a missing print fault, it means that the printer has not obtained the current file to be printed. At this time, the printer can be controlled to stop printing to prevent the printer from continuing to print, which will cause confusion in the subsequent printed files, thereby causing a waste of printing resources. In addition, when the first judgment result is that the printer has a missing print fault, the printer can also be controlled to issue a missing print fault alarm message, wherein the printer can issue a missing print fault alarm message by sending a missing print fault code message to the printing terminal connected to the printer, and the printing terminal can pop up a window prompt based on the missing print fault code message; the printer can also issue a missing print fault alarm message by sending a missing print fault message to the user's mobile device based on the pre-set user mobile device contact information, and the missing print fault message includes but is not limited to SMS reminders, telephone voice reminders, etc.; the printer can also issue a missing print fault alarm message by directly sending a sound warning signal or an optical prompt signal.

[0055] It should be noted that when the first judgment result is that the printer has a printing failure, a second printing request can be sent to the printing terminal according to the current marking information to re-acquire the current to-be-printed file corresponding to the current marking information.

[0056] It should be noted that after the printer receives the current printing instruction sent by the printing terminal, if the printing data record table does not exist in the printer, it will generate a printing data record table and then store the current printing instruction in the printing data record table.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a printer control method provided in another embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0058] Step S500, obtaining a first feature code corresponding to the current file to be printed, and comparing the first feature code with each second feature code in the feature code comparison table to obtain a first comparison result;

[0059] Step S600, judging a reprinting fault of the printer according to the first comparison result, and obtaining a second judgment result;

[0060] Step S700: Control the printer to print according to the second judgment result.

[0061] It is understandable that each print file has a corresponding feature code, since each print file is generated based on the same feature code rules. If the data in the print file is the same, then the feature codes generated by the print files with the same data are also the same, that is, the feature codes corresponding to different print files are different, and the feature codes corresponding to the same print files are the same. In addition, after the print file is printed, the feature code corresponding to the print file will be filled in the feature code comparison table. If a reprint failure occurs, the reprint failure of the printer is that the printer prints two copies of the same file. Since the print tasks are the same, the corresponding feature codes are also the same. Therefore, the first feature code corresponding to the current file to be printed can be obtained, and the first feature code can be compared with each second feature code in the feature code comparison table to determine whether the printer has a reprint failure, and then the printer is controlled to print according to the second judgment result. Since this judgment occurs before the printer prints the current file to be printed, the present application can effectively improve the real-time detection of repeated printing and avoid waste of resources.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The specific flow chart of step S600 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0063] Step S610, when there is a second feature code identical to the first feature code in the feature code comparison table, determining that a second judgment result of the reprint fault judgment on the printer is that the printer has a reprint fault;

[0064] Step S620: When there is no second feature code identical to the first feature code in the feature code comparison table, it is determined that the second judgment result of the reprint fault judgment on the printer is that the printer does not have a reprint fault.

[0065] It is understandable that the printer's reprint failure means that the printer prints two copies of the same file. Since the feature code corresponding to each file to be printed is fixed and unique, if the printer does not have a reprint failure, the first feature code is different from any second feature code in the feature code comparison table. If the printer has a reprint failure, there should be a second feature code that is the same as the first feature code in the feature code comparison table. Therefore, it can be determined whether the printer has a reprint failure based on whether there is a second feature code that is the same as the first feature code in the feature code comparison table.

[0066] It should be noted that in one printing, multiple print files may need to be printed. Therefore, after determining that the printer does not have a reprinting fault, the first feature code corresponding to the current file to be printed will be filled into the feature code comparison table.

[0067] Specifically, in one printing, the first print file, the second print file and the third print file need to be printed in sequence. After the feature code corresponding to the first print file has been stored in the feature code comparison table, if an error occurs in the second print file and it becomes the first print file, since the feature code corresponding to the first print file has been filled in the feature code comparison table, at this time, when judging the reprint failure of the second print file, since the second print file has an error and becomes the first print file, the feature code of the second print file is the same as the feature code of the first print file, then the feature code of the second print file will be the same as the feature code in the feature code comparison table, so that it can be judged that the printer has a reprint failure.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 2 The specific flow chart of step S700 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0069] Step S710, when the second judgment result is that the printer has a reprinting failure, the printer is controlled to issue a reprinting failure warning message;

[0070] Step S720: When the second judgment result is that the printer does not have a reprinting fault, the printer is controlled to print the current file to be printed.

[0071] It is understandable that if a printer has a reprinting failure, it will lead to a waste of printing resources and reduce printing efficiency. Therefore, when the second judgment result is that the printer has a reprinting failure, the printer can be controlled to stop printing to avoid wasting printing resources. In addition, when the second judgment result is that the printer has a reprinting failure, the printer can also be controlled to issue a reprinting failure alarm message, wherein the printer can issue a reprinting failure alarm message by sending a reprinting failure code message to the printing terminal connected to the printer, and the printing terminal can pop up a window prompt according to the reprinting failure code message; the printer can also issue a reprinting failure alarm message by sending a reprinting failure message to the user's mobile device according to the pre-set user mobile device contact information, and the reprinting failure message includes but is not limited to SMS reminders, telephone voice reminders, etc.; the printer can also issue a reprinting failure alarm message by directly sending a sound warning signal or an optical prompt signal. Similarly, when the second judgment result is that the printer does not have a reprinting failure, the printer is controlled to print the current file to be printed to ensure printing efficiency.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flowchart of a printer control method provided in another embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0073] Step S110, filling the blank item in the mark information column with the current mark information;

[0074] Step S120, searching the tag information column for corresponding target tag information according to the current tag information; and filling the file acquisition result into the position corresponding to the target tag information in the file data column.

[0075] It can be understood that the print data record table includes a column of tag information and a column of file data, wherein the tag information column is used to record the current tag information in the current print instruction, and the file data column is used to record the file acquisition result. When the printer receives the print instruction sent by the print terminal, the current tag information and the file acquisition time limit are determined according to the current print instruction, and the current tag information is filled into the blank item in the tag information column. According to the current tag information and the file acquisition time limit, the target file data is obtained from the print terminal to obtain the file acquisition result. After obtaining the file acquisition result, the corresponding target tag information is found in the tag information column according to the current tag information; the file acquisition result is filled into the position corresponding to the target tag information in the file data column. For example, the current tag information is recorded in the second item in the tag information column of the print data record table, then the position corresponding to the target tag information in the file data column should be the second item in the file data column. By filling the file acquisition result into the position corresponding to the target tag information in the file data column, it is convenient to summarize and organize the current tag information and the file acquisition result.

[0076] It should be noted that, within the file acquisition time limit, if the printer successfully acquires the current file to be printed, the file acquisition result is the acquired current file to be printed, and the file acquisition result filled in the position corresponding to the target mark information in the file data column is the current file to be printed; similarly, within the file acquisition time limit, if the printer does not acquire the current file to be printed, the file acquisition result is empty, and the position corresponding to the target mark information in the file data column is blank.

[0077] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 A flowchart of a printer control method provided in another embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0078] Step S800: create a blank entry at the end of the feature code column in the feature code comparison table, and fill the first feature code into the blank entry.

[0079] It can be understood that the feature code comparison table includes a column of feature code. After determining that the printer does not have a reprinting fault, a blank item is created at the end of the feature code column in the feature code comparison table, and the first feature code corresponding to the current file to be printed is filled into the blank item so that all feature codes are in the feature code column. If the feature code comparison table does not exist in the printer, a blank feature code comparison table will be generated first.

[0080] In a second aspect, the present application provides a printer 700, including a memory 710, a processor 720, and a computer program stored in the memory 710 and executable on the processor 720. The processor 720 executes the program to implement the printer control method of the first aspect of the embodiment, for example, Figure 1 The method steps S100 to S400, Figure 2 Steps S500 to S700, Figure 3 Step S610 to step S620, Figure 4 Step S710 and step S720, Figure 5 Step S110 and step S120 and Figure 6 Step S800.

[0081] The memory 710 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that can be used to store non-transitory software programs and non-transitory computer executable programs, such as the printer control method in the above embodiment of the present application. The processor 720 implements the printer control method in the above embodiment of the present application by running the non-transitory software programs and instructions stored in the memory 710.
