Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an arrangement for internal cost center printing of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a franking module is known from DE 40 18 166 A1, which is arranged in a slot of a drive slot of a personal computer and has a printing unit for self-adhesive franking strips. Although it has also been proposed to print addresses with the franking printer, an additional external printer connected to a personal computer is still required for printing accounting data.
  • a postage billing system for franking machines which can be put into operation and used by several people or departments via an associated IC card, is known, the individual cards being assigned to the people or departments during billing.
  • the information stored in the card can be read out with a personal computer in order to obtain a list at the end of a billing period about the use of the franking machine during the billing period.
  • the use of the franking machine can thus be displayed and printed out for every user (holder of the card).
  • the need for a separate personal computer with associated printer is complex in order to obtain a written statement of the use per cost center.
  • the disadvantage is that with everyone Computer system such an expression is easy to imitate. There is no provision to secure the printout of the accounting data against manipulation.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that, provided that such a printing device for franking mail, which can print out variable information about the print head, is used, the print head of the franking machine can now also be printed out for each of the cost centers is usually only responsible for franking the letters.
  • a user dialog and a switchover are carried out in the control unit of the franking machine and the accounting data stored in a cost center memory (KSP) are no longer output via an input / output interface, but rather directly via the print head of the franking machine.
  • KSP cost center memory
  • the billing data of interest are compiled by the control unit in cooperation with the input / output means, read into a working memory, decompressed, processed and converted into graphic pixels and temporarily stored in a pixel memory.
  • the franking zone on letters preferably has a width of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 cm.
  • the invention is based in particular on a franking print head, consisting of a single print bar, for the franking and to be used for internal cost center accounting.
  • the internal cost center printing takes place on an area of approx. 2.5 to 3.5 cm wide and approx. 14 to 21 cm long.
  • the franking module enables at least three multi-line information groups to be displayed simultaneously in one display before the internal cost center printing takes place, in particular on a strip.
  • the first information group of each strip contains labeling, security and information data.
  • the identification data consists, for example, of the current date, a serial number for internal cost center printouts and a strip number. For reasons of security against forgery, additional security data are generated, temporarily stored in a memory area of the working memory and displayed as a crypto number.
  • the information data relate to a short message about the order and organization of the list in the following information groups.
  • the last information group contains the statement of the sum of accounting data about the selected information groups and listed according to an agreed order.
  • the middle information groups contain the actual accounting data.
  • the information groups are evenly divided into blocks that can be viewed and checked in the display before printing. For each block there is a clear display in the form of "What you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG).
  • WYSIWYG clear display in the form of "What you see is what you get"
  • the cost centers are divided into at least two adjacent blocks in the display.
  • the blocks are preferably one below the other.
  • the printing direction per block is electronically rotated so that the columns appear as lines and the lines as columns.
  • b p 2.5 to 3.5 cm
  • there is an additional control for the print bar of the print head which electronically rotates the orientation of the standard print of a block by 90 °. Because the line length is limited, the blocks are rotated individually. According to the invention, the rotation is carried out in a block, for example with the dimensions b p * b p .
  • the method for internal cost center printing by means of a franking module is further characterized in that blocks of different orthogonal rotation are temporarily stored in the memory areas of the pixel memory 7. It is assumed that after a further switchover in the control unit, the orthogonal rotation in blocks is carried out by additional hardware and / or software in the control unit.
  • the method for internal cost center printing by means of the franking module also assumes that a corresponding switchover is carried out in the print control unit 14 so that the printout in the printing direction of the lines differs from the franking print.
  • the invention can be advantageously used in those printing processes in which the print head remains stationary.
  • the input / output means include both internal and / or external actuation means (chip card, remote specification, PC actuation means, etc.) for the franking module, both shown and not shown.
  • the encoder 13 is the stripe generator with stripe trigger 12 and a pixel memory 7 with several separate memory areas I, II, III and IV connected.
  • the print control unit 14 reads from the pixel memory 7 when franking data, the printing unit 1 being controlled via a switching unit (SE) present in the printing control unit 14 (not shown in more detail in FIG. 1).
  • SE switching unit
  • Such a switching unit can be coupled to a controllable energy source, as was proposed for example in the German application P 42 14 545.7 for an ETR printing process.
  • the method advantageously consists in that a printing device 1 of a franking module can be used for internal cost center printing.
  • the franking option is blocked when control unit 6 first switches over to internal cost center printing.
  • the cost center is printed with the same printing unit 1, whereby - apart from the different content - the printout in the printing direction of the lines differs significantly from a franking print.
  • the accounting data stored in the cost center memory (KSP) 10 are compiled by the control unit 6 in cooperation with input / output means 2, 3 and 4, read into a working memory (ASP) 5, decompressed, processed and converted into graphic pixels and in one Pixel memory 7 buffered in blocks.
  • ASP working memory
  • the method for internal cost center printing by means of a franking module is based on the fact that a print image which is present in k blocks is rotated block by block in the printing direction in such a way that the lines become columns and vice versa, k blocks containing accounting data from m cost centers, the first block of an existing print image additionally an identification and the last block of a printed image has a summation of the accounting data.
  • a means for orthogonal pixel storage field rotation 15 and at least one storage area for accounting data is provided in the pixel memory 7, in which data are loaded under conversion and / or from which data is read out under conversion.
  • a print image in k blocks is rotated block by block in the printing direction in such a way that the lines become columns and vice versa, with k blocks containing accounting data from cost centers, the first block of an existing print image additionally an identification and the last block of a print image a summation of the Has billing information.
  • the pixel memory 7 contains several separate memory areas from which the print control unit 14 reads out accounting data.
  • the strips of an automatic strip dispenser are used as the printing medium. Since these strips are 165 mm long but only approx. 35 to 40 mm wide, the accounting statistics information must be reduced quantitatively to a uniform line length of 2.5 cm for 192 dots or 3.5 cm for 256 dots.
  • One possibility is to reduce the print image by mathematical transformation for a print bar of 25.4 mm.
  • Another advantageous possibility is the use of an existing one in the character memory 9 so far only for printing the machine number of the franking device the intended character set of a suitable size, with the addition or addition thereof possibly being made.
  • FIG. 2 shows a possible implementation of an internal cost center print in three square blocks on a franking tape, for the sake of simplicity with three cost centers.
  • the accounting data of each cost center form an information group.
  • the sequence in the internal cost center printout can be agreed in the user dialog before printing either by the ascending number of cost centers used or by the frequency of use or by falling costs.
  • the listing of the information groups containing cost center data according to the agreed order can be checked in the display 3.
  • the representation or the printout takes place in square blocks, each block containing at least one information group. Further variants of an order can be created and shown in display 3 before printing.
  • the flow chart for internal cost center printing shown in FIG. 3 begins, starting from an automatic and / or manual entry of the date, by entering the number of the cost center and entering the authorization code. It is envisaged that the user dialog includes a special authorization procedure for certain cost centers to be protected and that access to this cost center information is restricted to a certain group of people. In a cost center routine there is a prompt for the order in the order of the cost center printouts and for the order of the listing within a printout for each cost center and an automatic formation of information groups is provided.
  • the processor searches for all cost centers with which work has been carried out, reads the data from the cost center memory and stores this data in a memory area A of the main memory 5, for example in BCD-coded form.
  • the user requests the area at cost centers, which is also stored in area A of the main memory 5 in BCD-coded form.
  • the processor in the control unit 6 forms the sum of the cost center data assigned to this area and stores it in a memory area B of the main memory 5.
  • the processor also forms the identification data consisting of the current date, a serial number for internal cost center printouts and a strip number and stores it in a memory area C of the main memory 5. It encrypts this data together with a machine parameter (number of the franking module) to form a crypto number and stores it in a memory area D of the main memory 5.
  • Each of these crypto numbers is present in the character memory 9.
  • the processor sorts the data and makes a corresponding assignment according to the cost center numbers and stores it in a further memory area E.
  • the strip length is taken into account and, if necessary, the necessary division into several strips is carried out, the identification data and data for the maximum number of cost centers on the first to penultimate strip and on the last strip being taken into account the total data formed in accordance with the number of cost centers.
  • the franking module Before the internal cost center printing on a strip, the franking module enables a display 3 to display identification data, accounting data from several cost centers and total data, divided into, for example, three adjacent blocks. A memory area F of the main memory 5 is used for this.

  • This first print image contains, for example - as shown in FIG. 2 - the information from three cost centers and is initially displayed in a display unit 3 of the franking module, the identification information, the crypto number, information about the order and the three cost center information as well as the total information can be displayed in three adjacent blocks.

However, the franking option is blocked and a switchover is effective.
