Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printers, in particular to a printing control system. Background Art

[0002] At present, as a small item management label printing machine that is increasingly widely used in commercial and home scenarios, the performance of portable printers needs to be continuously optimized and improved to meet the growing market demand, such as: Figure 1 As shown, in the existing printing control system, a control terminal is connected to the printing terminal for communication. The operator edits the printing parameters in the control terminal and sends them to the microprocessor of the printing terminal. The microprocessor then controls the printing component and the output component of the output module to start synchronously according to the printing parameters, and controls the monitoring module of the printing terminal itself to monitor the start-up status of the printing component and the output component. However, the design of the printing control system has the following disadvantages:

[0003] The startup status of the printing terminal is monitored only by its own monitoring module, so that when the circuit between the monitoring module and the microprocessor fails, the microprocessor cannot obtain the startup status of the printing component and the output component in the printing terminal through the monitoring module in the first time. If any component in the printing component or the output component fails, it is impossible to take timely countermeasures; and the startup timing of the printing terminal is controlled only by its own microprocessor, so that when the circuit between the microprocessor and the printing component or the output component fails, the printing component or the output component will not receive the startup signal and then start normally. For example, when the printing component is not started but the output component is started, it will cause paper jam. When the printing component is started but the output component is not started, it will cause no printed content to be displayed after the printed paper is output. Utility Model Content
