Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of an error in adding a number by a hand and to save time by automatically printing a bar code pattern related to printing date and hour on an original. CONSTITUTION:First, when the title device is started from an input control means 11 so that printing can be executed, the device retrieves an applicable image according to printing information and reads image information stored in a magnetic disk device 42 based on this retrieved result. Next, the device analyzes the printing information and discriminates whether an instruction for generating a printing number exists or not. When the instruction for generating the printing number exists, the device generates a unique printing number for one image according to the information of the date and hour, etc., of printing time. The device converts the generated printing number into the bar code pattern, synthesizes this bar code pattern on the image, and hands the synthesized result to an image information control means 13.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to printing means for an electronic filing device.

〔overview〕

The present invention automatically prints a barcode pattern related to printing date and time on a document in a printing means of an electronic filing device! This prevents errors in manual number addition and saves time and effort.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional example, when printing a stored image, a number is manually added to the print document to manage the print document.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such a conventional example, when managing printed manuscripts, printing numbers are manually added and management such as collection is performed, which is disadvantageous in that it is labor-intensive and easy to make mistakes.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks, and aims to provide an electronic filing device having means for automatically adding a management number to print data in an easy-to-read format.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides an electronic filing device that includes a storage means for storing image information, a means for extracting desired image information from the storage means, and a printing means for printing and displaying a pattern corresponding to the image information. A printing number is set based on information including the date and time information at the time of printing for each printing paper on which the printout is displayed, information indicating a barcode pattern corresponding to this printing number is generated, and this information and image information are combined. The apparatus is characterized by comprising a control means for providing new image information to the printing means.

[Effect]

Necessary image information is extracted from a large-capacity magnetic storage device that stores document and photograph information as image information. On the other hand, a unique printing number is generated for each sheet of printing paper,
It converts it into a barcode, combines it with the extracted image information, and prints it.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the print control means shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes a keyboard 2,
It includes a display device 3, a printer 6, an optical disk device 51, a magnetic disk device 52, a floppy disk device 41, a magnetic disk device 42, and an image processor 1, where the image processor 1 specifies a printing document. An input control means 11 for manually inputting print information to be printed and information indicating whether or not to add a print number from a keyboard 2; a print control means 12; and an image information control means 13 for passing to the device 52. That is, this embodiment includes a magnetic disk device 42 which is a storage means for storing image information, a keyboard 2 and a manual control means 11 which are means for extracting desired image information from this storage means, and a computer corresponding to the image information. The image information control means 13 and the printer 6, which are printing means for printing and displaying the pattern, set a printing number based on information including the date and time information at the time of printing for each printing paper on which the image information is printed and displayed, and set the printing number to this printing number. The apparatus includes printing control means 12 which is a control means for generating information indicating a corresponding barcode pattern and providing new image information by combining this information and image information to the printing means.

Next, the operation of the print control means included in this embodiment will be explained in the first place.
This will be explained based on the diagram and FIG.

First, when the manual control means 11 starts printing, a corresponding image is searched according to the print information (step S1), and based on this search result, the magnetic disk device 4
Step S of reading out the image information stored in 2.
2). Next, the print information is analyzed and it is determined whether or not the print number is generated in 1m (step S3). If there is an instruction to generate a print number, a unique print number is generated for each image according to information such as the date and time of printing (step S4). The generated printing number is converted into a barcode pattern (step S5), this barcode pattern is synthesized on the image (step S6), and is passed to the image information control means 13.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds a unique printing number to each printed document, converts it into a barcode pattern, and combines it into an image for printing.This makes it easy to manage printed documents. This has the effect of simplifying manual labor and reducing human errors.
