It is although it has also been proposed with the franking printing unit Addresses to print, however, is for printing from billing data to another as before Personal computer connected external printer required.
- DE 39 03 718 is a postage billing system for franking machines used by several people or departments using an associated IC card can be set and used, known, the individual cards to the people or departments be assigned to the settlement.
- a personal computer can use the information stored in the card be read out at the end of a billing cycle a list of the use of the franking machine to get during the billing period.
- the use of the franking machine can be done for everyone User (card holder) displayed and printed out will.
- the need for one is complex separate personal computers with associated printer, for a written list of the use Get cost center.
- the disadvantage is that with everyone Computer system easily mimicking such an expression is. A backup of the printout of the accounting data against manipulation is not provided.
- the invention is based on the consideration that under the requirement of using such a printing device for franking mail, which variable Print information about the printhead can now also print out for each of the cost centers with the print head of the franking machine usually only for franking the letters are responsible. For this, a user dialog and a switchover in the control unit of the franking machine made and that in a cost center memory (KSP) saved billing data no longer via an input / output interface, but directly output via the print head of the franking machine.
- KSP cost center memory
- the billing data of interest are from the control unit in cooperation with the input / output means compiled in a working memory read, decompressed, processed and in graphic pixels converted as well as in a pixel memory cached.
- the franking zone on letters preferably has one Width of about 2.5 to 3.5 cm.
- the invention goes in particular assume a franking print head consisting of from a single pressure bar, for franking and to be used for internal cost center accounting. Internal cost center printing takes place on one surface 2.5 to 3.5 cm wide and 14 to 21 cm wide Length.
- the franking module enables before, in particular on a strip of internal cost center printing, a representation of at least three multi-line Information groups simultaneously in one display.
- the first information group on each strip contains labeling, safety and information data.
- the identification data consist, for example, of the current date, a serial number for internal Cost center printouts and a strip number. Out For reasons of counterfeit security, additional Security data generated in a memory area of the RAM and cached as a crypto number displayed.
- the information data relate to a short message about order and organization in the subsequent information groups.
- the last information group contains the specification of the Sum of accounting data on the selected and listed according to an agreed order Information groups.
- 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 sum of the cost center data is given in the last block at the end of the list. If the number of cost centers is greater than mA , which would possibly have to be printed on several strips (y> 1) of constant length, scrolling in the display is provided beforehand. At the end of the list in the last block or at the end of the last strip, the sum of the cost center data is also given.
- the cost centers are at least in the display divided into two adjacent blocks. At the The blocks are preferably printed one below the other. For this, the printing direction per block is electronically so rotated that the columns as rows and the rows as Columns appear.
- 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 procedure for internal cost center printing by means of the franking module is further characterized in that that in the memory areas of the pixel memory 7 different orthogonally rotated blocks are cached. It is assumed, after another switchover in the control unit, the blockwise orthogonal rotation by a additional hardware and / or software in the control unit perform.
- the procedure for internal cost center printing using the franking module also assumes in the Pressure control unit 14 a corresponding switch to make the print in the printing direction which distinguishes lines from franking imprint.

- Figure 2 shows a possible embodiment of an internal Cost center printing in three square blocks on a franking strip, for the sake of simplicity three cost centers.
- the accounting data of each cost center form an information group.
- the chronological order with the internal cost center printout is before the printout either according to the ascending number of used cost centers or according to the frequency of use or after falling costs in the user dialog compatible.
- the one according to the agreed order List of cost center data containing Information groups can be checked in display 3.
- the representation or the printout takes place in quadratic Blocks, each block at least one Contains information group. Other variants of a Order can be created and before printing in display 3.
- the flow chart shown in Figure 3 for an internal Cost center printing starts from an automatic and / or manual date entry with which Enter the number of the cost center and an entry the authorization code. It is envisaged that the Userdialog a special authorization procedure for includes certain cost centers to be protected and that access to this cost center information on a certain group of people is limited. In a Cost center routine is a prompt for the order in the order of the cost center printouts and for the order of the listing within one Printout for each cost center and an automatic one Formation of information groups is provided.
- the processor searches in the cost center printing routine reads all cost centers that have been worked with 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. At the same time the user requests the area at cost centers, which is also in area A of the working memory 5 in BCD encoded form is saved.
- the processor in the control unit 6 forms the sum of this area assigned cost center data and stores them in a memory area B of the main memory 5.
- the processor also forms the identification data from the current date, a serial number for internal cost center printouts and a strip number and stores them 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 a crypto number and stores it in a memory area D of the main memory 5.
- Im Character memory 9 lies in each of these crypto numbers Character code before.

- This print image data is from a hardware and / or Output logic of the control unit implemented in software 6 passed to the pixel memory 7, from which also when franking the print pixel data the print control unit 14 columns the print head be fed.
- the franking option is however locked and a switchover is effective.
- the pixel memory 7 several separate memory areas I, II, III and IV, from which the pressure control unit 14 Print image data, in particular including billing data Reads out print image data block by block.
- the pixel memory 7 is connected to the control unit 6, wherein the pixel memory 7 in the output means 3 in the printing direction displayable accounting data as a print image received in blocks.
- the addresses A supplied by the control unit 6 comprise area addresses A B for the selection of a memory area I, II, III or IV for the storage of a block and low addresses for the addressing within a block.
- the low addresses are now converted during storage in a means 15 for rotating the pixel memory field.
- 15 are used in the means Pixel memory field rotation the low addresses when swapping out a block converted, i.e. if the Print control unit 14 print image data, in particular accounting data print image data containing blocks reads.
- the pixel memory 7 several separate memory areas II, III and IV contains from which the orthogonally rotated Blocks are read out. Every block of a print image, especially with billing data, is previously in temporarily stores the first area I of the pixel memory 7 and by the means for orthogonal pixel storage field rotation 15 converts to at least one second area II of the pixel memory 7 transferred. At least one is electronically rotated by 90 ° or around Block rotated 270 ° in the printing direction Print image with accounting data in the second area II of the pixel memory 7 buffered before printing. On the command "cost center printing" from a The button of the operating unit 2 becomes the print image data of the first block from the first area I of the pixel memory 7 read out.
- a print image rotated by 90 ° in the printing direction with accounting data is generated in another Variant in the control unit 6 a switchover made on a mean that is a 90 ° pixel storage field rotation makes.

- the print control unit 14 is for printing over the lines with data D connected to the second area II of the pixel memory 7. Then a strip is made on the strip dispenser triggered.
- the strip is transported to the print head and on Encoder 13 provides a position report of the strip in relation to the printhead. According to this position report the print image data from the second Area II of the pixel memory 7 is read out in columns and serially into the serial-parallel shift register in a known manner the switching unit (SE), cached in latches and during the STROBE pulse by means of the print head of the printing unit 1 printed.
- SE switching unit
- the second block is in the first area I of the pixel memory 7 in whole or in part in consecutive pauses and supplied to the means for a 90 ° pixel storage field rotation. Then the one rotated by 90 ° in the printing direction Block of the print image with accounting data in the third area III of the pixel memory 7 before printing cached. In the same way the 90 ° rotation and storage of the third block in the fourth memory area IV.
- the control unit 6 is connected to the pressure control unit 14 also coupled to check whether the pressure is completed. A corresponding check is carried out software.
- a control for a strip feeder is for variable length strips or provided for a constant length. Enough a strip not to print out all cost centers, so is from the control unit 6 from the strip encoder another strip requested and printed. The strips are numbered according to their order. For this purpose, each strip is marked intended.
- envelopes or Sheets in A5 or A6 format made by one automatic feed unit can be supplied with the Cost centers are printed. But it is also a Interactive operation with the operator via the display possible: On the note: "Please insert paper" must each manually create paper.
- FIG. 4 shows a circuit for the means for orthogonal pixel memory field rotation, which is arranged in the print control unit DS and is connected to the address inputs of the pixel memory 7. It consists of an electronic switch U and a means for address generation G.
- the electronic switch U contains multiplexers MUX1, MUX2 and the means for address generation G contains a first and a second counter module Z and read-only memory ROM1, ROM2 to the addresses individually to convert. It is provided that each multiplexer MUX1, MUX2 consists of several tri-state buffers and is controlled by a state machine SM (not shown in FIG. 4) of the printer controller DS.
- a state machine SM not shown in FIG. 4
- the first multiplexer MUX1 for the low addresses A L is switched to the inputs U 2 , so that the pixel memory 7 can be addressed normally by the control unit 6.
- one of the memory areas with the area addresses A B is addressed via the inputs U 2 of the second multiplexer MUX2.
- the multiplexers are switched over and the outputs Z 2 are applied to the area address inputs of the pixel memory 7 via the inputs U 1 of the second multiplexer MUX2. If the outputs Z 1 of the first counter are applied to a 90 ° address converter (ROM1), the outputs of which are connected to the inputs U 1 of the first multiplexer MUX1, low addresses are formed for the pixel memory 7, which cause a 90 ° pixel memory field rotation .
- ROM1 90 ° address converter
- the circuit for orthogonal pixel memory field rotation 15 is connected to the pixel memory 7 by at least one block of a printed image with accounting data in at least a second area II of the pixel memory 7 electronically rotated by 90 ° or by 270 ° in the printing direction to load.
- the print control unit 14 When reading out the converted data, the print control unit 14 is connected via the data line to the second area II of the pixel memory 7 and to the control unit 6.
- the outputs Z 2 of the second counter are again coupled to the area address inputs of the pixel memory 7 via the inputs U 1 of the second multiplexer MUX2.
- the outputs Z 1 of the first counter are connected via the inputs U 2 directly to the low address inputs of the pixel memory 7, so that the print control unit 14 receives, during normal print data output, the billing data which can be displayed in the output means 3 in the printing direction as orthogonally rotated blocks of a print image.
- the generated in the means for address field generation G Addresses are used to write the data via the data lines into the second memory area II of the pixel memory 7 with the intended rotation. As in particular from the information on the memory areas I and II in Figure 4 can be seen the row data to column data.
- the means for address field generation G is in the variant shown integrated in the printer controller 14 and implemented in hardware. On via clock impulses charged meter generates a meter reading, which is converted to an address via a ROM. To everyone appearing on data line D with the clock pulse bits addressed by the control unit 6 then there is a new address at the ROM output.
- this address field generation made by software from the control unit 6.
- the pressure control unit 14 are only those State machine, a circuit for serial output SO and the switching unit SE still required.
- FIG. 5c A variant of a flowchart for a 90 ° pixel memory field rotation, shown in FIG. 5c, is only one example of a software solution.
- 5a shows a memory area SPB I (192 * 192) with associated source bit counter and source byte counter and in FIG. 5b a memory area SPB II (192 * 192) with associated source bit counter and source byte counter.
- the first source address H 192 and the first destination address Z 1 are loaded for one data word with 192 bits.
- the data word is shifted in the shift register until the 192nd bit is in a carry bit memory. This carry bit is loaded as the 191st bit into the data word to be formed under the first target address Z 1 .
- the readdressing is now done because of the decremented source bit counter for the 191-th bits of all source addresses.
- the kth bits of the data D H of all source addresses become bits of the data of a destination address.
- the next block can be rotated 90 ° in the same or a similar way. An orthogonal rotation through 180 ° or 270 ° is possible by repeating the flow chart several times.
- Ink-jet printers can advantageously be or use a thermal transfer printer.
- ETR printer with 192 electrodes in a pressure bar thus called serially from the memory area I.
- 192 * 192 individual data bits re-addressed.
- the - from the readdressing Space reasons not shown in Figure 4 - further blocks of 192 * 192 bit.
- Interconnect switches constructed in this way add if with additional address converters other different rotation should be realized.
- the memory areas II to IV are advantageously the same pixel memory area (RAM) that is also addressed during franking. Although an addressable RAM area of 2 18 bit addresses is required for the memory areas I to IV, this is not fully utilized.
- block-by-block data is buffered in memory area II, then serially transferred to the switching unit after switching. After this transfer, the readdressing and intermediate storage can be carried out in the third memory area III. Further data of a block can thus be read, readdressed and buffered during printing. This also applies to the third block, while the second block is being printed, etc.
- the memory area II which has now been printed out is now free again for the data of a new block.
- all three memory areas II, III and IV are first filled with data before printing. With 2 18- bit addressable RAM areas, up to 7 pixel memory areas of 192 * 192 bits each can be addressed. It can easily be seen that with several available memory areas, many possible ways of working are possible in order to generate an internal cost center printout, all of which make use of the solution according to the invention.
