Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily hold the secrecy of the communication content outputted to recording paper from communication machinery by providing an adhesive layer composed of a hot melt type adhesive or a pressure type adhesive to the non-recording part of a recording surface and further providing optical markers for reading perforations and/or the adhesive layer. CONSTITUTION:The first perforations 3 for holding and the second perforations 2 for opening are formed to recording layer 9 and an adhesive is applied to the non-recording parts present on both side parts of the recording paper 9 to form adhesive layers 1. The perforations 2 may not be provided on both sides of the recording paper but on the single side thereof. The shapes of the perforations 2, 3 are not especially limited and may be same or different mutually. Further, optical markers 5 for reading recordable parts and the positions of the perforations are provided. Therefore, by concealing recording content by bonding the recording papers by the adhesive at the time of recording or after recording, a secret can be kept.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to recording paper, and particularly to recording paper for printers provided in communication means such as facsimiles.

[Prior Art] In recent years, facsimile machines are increasingly being installed in half of hotels, etc., or in public places. Information transmitted by facsimile is recorded and output by a printer, but conventionally, the recorded contents can be seen by anyone, that is, an unspecified number of people other than the recipient, and confidentiality cannot be maintained. It was difficult.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a recording paper that makes it possible to maintain the confidentiality of recorded contents.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a recording paper having an adhesive layer on the non-recording portion of the recording surface.

According to the present invention, there is almost no adhesiveness in the non-recording areas at both ends of the recording surface of the recording paper under normal storage conditions.
An adhesive layer is provided by applying an adhesive that adheres to other objects by applying energy such as heat or pressure, and the recording paper is bonded with the adhesive when recording is performed or thereafter. Confidentiality can be maintained by hiding the recorded contents. The adhesive M may be provided to an extent that the recorded content can be hidden by bonding. The non-recording portion here may or may not have been processed in advance so that it cannot be recorded, and is simply a portion that is not recorded and does not cause any problem in transmitting information.

As the adhesive, for example, a hot melt adhesive or a pressure adhesive is preferably used.

By using such an adhesive, recording paper can be stored in a rolled up state in a device such as a printer.
The inside of the apparatus, especially the recording head, and even the human hands are not contaminated.

It is preferable to provide perforations in the recording paper so that the bonded recording paper can be easily opened and the recording paper can be easily folded.

Furthermore, the recording paper is preferably provided with optical markers for reading and aligning the perforations and/or the adhesive layer. An optical marker is, for example, p
An optical detector (C) detects black and white lines, such as those used in OS (Point of 5ales) systems.
It is readable on a CD, etc.), and may be recorded by printing, writing with a thermal head, thermal transfer, or the like.

Although the present invention is suitably used for facsimile recording paper,
The present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to recording paper for electrophotography, recording paper for thermal transfer, and the like.

[Example] Example 1 FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of the recording paper of the present invention in a state where it is partially pulled out from the roll 4. A first perforation 3 for folding and a second perforation 2 for opening are formed on the recording paper 9, and adhesive is applied to the non-recording portions on both sides of the recording paper. A layer of adhesive 1 is provided. Even if the perforations 2 are provided only on one side of the recording paper instead of on both sides, the package can be opened easily. The shapes of perforations 2 and 3 are not particularly limited and may be the same or different. Furthermore, an optical marker 5 is provided for reading the position of the recordable portion and the perforation.

When this recording paper is set in a facsimile machine and recorded on the recording paper by the printer, information 6 such as the recipient and sender is recorded on the cover, as shown in Figure 2, and the information 6 on the second and subsequent sheets is recorded. It is preferable that the communication content 7 is recorded. FIG. 2(A) shows the state of the recording paper before it is bonded with an adhesive. When recording is completed, the recording sheets are pasted together manually or automatically using the adhesive 1, resulting in a state as shown in FIG. 2(B).

Also, in parallel with recording, pasting is done in the printer,
It is even more preferable to eject the paper from the printer in a state as shown in FIG. 2(B).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily maintain the confidentiality of communication contents output from a communication device onto recording paper.
