Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a printer output control device having a function of printing a bar code on the side of fan-hold paper on which program data etc. are printed when it is folded up. .

(Prior Art) Conventionally, printer output control devices have not had a function of printing a message on the side of fan-hold paper when it is folded. Therefore, when printing out various types of long program data on fan-hold paper and stacking them for storage, the contents of the program data cannot be seen from that side, so the method shown in Figure 3 has been used, for example. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 11 is a fan-hold paper, and FIG. 3(a) shows the fan-hold paper output by the printer output control device, and FIG. 3(b) shows the state in which the fan-hold paper is folded. 31 is a bar code indicating message characters indicating data content, data serial number, etc. printed on the surface of the folded fan-hold paper. (Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, however, when long program data, etc. are printed out on fan-hold paper using a printer output control device, and then folded and stored, a bar code indicating a data serial number is printed on the surface of the paper. However, there was a problem in that it was not possible to read from the side of fan-hold paper that had been folded and stored. The present invention solves these conventional problems, and provides a printer output control device that has a simple configuration and has a function of automatically printing a barcode on the side of fan-hold paper when it is folded. The purpose is to

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a printer output control device that prints a barcode on the folding perforations of the fan-hold paper, thereby folding the fan-hold paper. A barcode is also displayed on the side when the device is opened.

(Function) Therefore, according to the present invention, the print output control device displays a barcode on the side of the fan-hold paper when it is folded, so it can be easily read from the side, and the bar code can be easily read from the side. Organize easily and efficiently.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows the principle of classification and arrangement of printer control devices in an embodiment of the present invention. In the engineering drawing, I
1 is a fan-hold paper, and FIG. 1(a) shows the fan-hold paper printed out from the printer output control device;
(b) shows the fan-hold paper in a folded state. 12 is the folding perforation of the fan hold paper, 13 is the barcode printed on the folding perforation l2,
14 is a barcode displayed on the side of the folded fan-hold paper. When the fan hold paper 1l is folded, the barcode l3 printed on the folding perforation 12 will also appear on the side because each dot on the folding perforation of the barcode on the mountain fold side will overlap from the side. A barcode 14 is displayed.

In addition, the function to print barcodes on the folded perforations of fan-hold paper does not require mechanical changes to the printer output device, and allows the printer output control device to check whether the printer's printing position is on the folded perforations. This can be achieved by providing a detection means to perform discrimination and control. FIG. 2 shows an example of a flowchart for printing a barcode on a folded perforation. Check with the printer output control device whether the printer's printing position is above the folding perforation (
S21), and if it is on the folding perforation, print the barcode on the folding perforation (S22)
. If it is not on the folding perforation, normal printing of program data, etc. is performed line by line (S23).

In this way, by repeating the routine shown in FIG. 2 until the program data runs out, the program data is printed and a bar code is also printed on the side of the fan-hold paper.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, as is clear from the above embodiments, it is possible to print a barcode on the side of fan-hold paper when it is folded using a printer output device. This has the effect of making it extremely easy to efficiently classify and organize printed fan-hold papers.

Claims (1)

[Claims] When printing program data, etc. on fan-hold paper, a barcode is also printed on the folding perforation of the fan-hold paper, so that the bar code is displayed on the side of the fan-hold paper when the fan-hold paper is folded. A printer output control device characterized by having functions.
