Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a paper length to be easily set visually by direct line feed of paper by method wherein a means in which a variable paper length is set to a paper length memory by setting an amount wherein the line feed on paper with a paper length set switch and a line feed switch to a paper length set counter, is established. CONSTITUTION:A control part 1 waits until a paper length set switch 4 is pushed down. When the switch 4 is pushed down, the control part 1 clears a paper length set counter 3. Thereafter, every time a line feed switch 5 is pushed down, paper is made to perform line feed by controlling a printing mechanism part 6 and besides, a line fed amount is added to the paper length set counter 3. When the paper length set counter 3 is again pushed down, a value of the paper length set switch is set to a paper length memory 2.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to printers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of printer, a predetermined paper length is set using a combination of date switches, or the paper length is set in inches or the number of lines from an operation panel.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When setting the paper length with the conventional printers mentioned above, they do not actually set the paper length by line-feeding the paper, so you have to measure the paper length in advance and then set the paper length in inches or the number of lines. There are drawbacks.

An object of the present invention is to provide a printer that solves the above problems.

Till! Means for Solving Problem i] To achieve the above object, the printer according to the present invention includes a paper length memory for storing the paper length, a paper length set counter, a paper length set switch for setting the paper length, A switch for instructing a line feed, and means for setting the paper length set counter to the amount of paper line feed caused by the paper length set switch and the line feed switch, and setting a variable length paper length in the paper length memory. It is something that you have.

(Example〕 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an operational flow diagram.

In the figure, the printer of the present invention includes a printing mechanism section 6, a paper length set counter 3, a paper length set switch 4 for setting the paper length, and a line feed switch 5 for instructing a line feed.
The paper length memory 2 stores the paper length, and the paper length set counter 3 sets the amount by which the paper is line-feeded using the paper length set switch 4 and the line feed switch 5, and the variable length paper length is stored in the paper length memory 2. The control section 1 has a function of setting .

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 1 waits for the paper length set switch 4 to be pressed, and when it is pressed, clears the paper length set counter 3. after that.

Each time the line feed switch 5 is pressed, the paper is printed by the printing mechanism section 6.
is controlled to cause a line feed, and at the same time the line feed amount is added to the paper length set counter 3. When the paper length set counter 3 is pressed again, the value of the paper length set switch 4 is set in the paper length memory 2.

【Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, when setting the paper length, the present invention measures the length of the paper in advance and converts it into inch length or number of lines by actually making a line break on the paper and setting that amount as the paper length. Even without this, there is an effect that the paper length can be easily set visually by directly feeding the paper.
