FIG. 16 shows a dot configuration diagram of the bar code pattern of the present invention. The 9-pin print head moves to the right and prints each dot to form a bar code pattern. In order to obtain a substantially rectangular barcode pattern, printing is performed in the following order.

The odd-numbered dots (dots of I) having the DP number (DPNO) are printed.

The even-numbered dots (II dots) with DP numbers are printed.

The 1/2 pitch paper is fed to print the odd-numbered dots of DP number (dots of III).

The even-numbered dots (dots IV) of the DP number are printed.

As described above, the upper half bar code patterns 1 to 9'in the paper feeding direction are formed. Then, to form the lower half of the barcode pattern, (8 + 1
/ 2) Paper is fed by the pitch, and the above-mentioned steps 1 to 3 are repeated. As a result, 10 to 18 'barcode patterns in the paper feed direction are formed.

Therefore, the width of the bar code, that is, the length in the paper feed direction is an appropriate size (6.4 mm). The ratio of the width of the narrow bar to the width of the wide bar is about 1: 2.5 because the dot diameter is 0.3 mm and the horizontal pitch is 0.293 mm.

Next, the reading operation of the card reader 36 which is the card reading means for reading the above-mentioned card will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the reading of the card data is performed by the interruption by the read clock signal (RCL). In step S1, it is determined whether a card has been inserted into the card insertion hole 4. This judgment is made based on whether the card load signal is high or low. If it is high, it is determined that it is inserted, and the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the read clock signal (RCL) has fallen. When it has fallen, the process proceeds to step S3 and interrupt processing is performed.
In the interrupt processing, as shown in FIG. 8B, 1 bit of the card data is written in the address of the card data buffer designated by the CD storage pointer (see FIG. 8) (step S301). Then, the CD storage pointer is incremented for writing the next data (step S302). By the above interrupt processing,
The data read by the card reader 36 is temporarily stored in the card data buffer.

Next, the operation before printing using the slip printer of the present invention, that is, the operation of the normal print mode process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 18 and 19.

In step S11, the time data is read from the clock IC 37 and the time data in the RAM 33 is updated. In step S12, the card reader 3
6, the key 11 and the sensor 27 are processed.

In step S13, when it is detected that the card is removed from the card reader 36 by the low level of the card load signal, the contents of the card data buffer are prevented from being rewritten by inserting a new card. Therefore, the interrupt by the read clock signal is prohibited. In step S14, the read card data is checked. This check is made based on whether the specified data (DEL function character) exists at the beginning and end of the data string and whether the parity is correct.

If it is determined by the above-mentioned check that the card data is correct, the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not correct, the process proceeds to step S15,
The liquid crystal display device 1 so that the card can be inserted again.
An error is displayed on 2. Then, it progresses to step S21.

In step S16, an operation for checking predetermined card type discrimination data is performed. This determination is performed based on the card determination information registered in advance on each card. In step S17, the value of the card data buffer is converted into character string data of alphabets, numbers, kana (ANK) or kanji, and stored in the card data area. For example, doctor card data is stored in the DR card data storage area in FIG.

In step S20, the above card data is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 12.

As described above, the transfer of the data from the card data buffer to the card data storage area corresponding to the card is completed. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S21, and the operation of initializing the CD storage pointer is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S22, the interrupt by the read clock RCL is permitted, and the process returns to step S11.

Next, in step S12, when it is determined that the doctor key is turned on, the process proceeds to step S23, the DR read pointer is incremented, and the DR card data at the next position is read from the DR card data storage area. And is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 12 (step S24). By repeating this, a desired doctor name is selected.

Next, in step S12, when the comment key is turned on, the process proceeds to step S25 and C
The T read pointer is incremented and C at the next position
The T card data is read from the CT card data storage area and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 12 (step S
26). By repeating this, a desired comment is selected.

Next, when it is determined in step S12 that the first paper detection sensor 27 is turned on, step S12
The operation proceeds to print control 27. The details of the print control are described in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-25986 “Voucher printer having a voucher parameter setting function” of the same applicant, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

When the chit key is turned on in step S12, the flow advances to step S29 to increment the SP read pointer (see FIG. 8) by 1. Next, in step S30, the slip parameter pointed to by the SP read pointer is displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD) 12.

Each time the slip key is turned on, the SP read pointer is incremented and the preset slip parameters for slips 1 to 5 are sequentially displayed. Therefore, the operator can select a slip parameter suitable for the type of slip to be printed.

When the chit key is further turned on, the "bar code indicator" shown in FIG. 10 is displayed, and the chit parameter for bar code printing (the top margin is 10 m
m, printing force is normal, and character arrangement is normal arrangement). Therefore, the slip key serves as a bar code print mode designating means.

Next, regarding the printing control of step S27 executed when the mount with the label attached is inserted into the printing mechanism and the first paper detection sensor 27 is turned on, the flowchart of FIG. It will be described with reference to FIG.

When the first paper detection sensor 27 is turned on, it is checked in step S51 whether or not the SP read pointer is 6, and if it is 6, the bar code print mode is set. Therefore, the determination in step S51 is affirmative. Then, the process proceeds to step S54. On the other hand, if it is not 6, the determination is negative and the process proceeds to step S52.

In step S52, patient card data, doctor card data designated by each read pointer,
Depending on the characters in the comment card data and line feed data,
Create expansion data and paper feed data that are font data for printing. Then, when the print processing is performed in step S53, the print content as shown in FIG. 11 is printed on the slip.

On the other hand, in the case of the bar code printing mode, the patient ID number is converted into bar code pattern font data in step S54, and the patient ID number, patient name (Katakana), and time data in the patient card data are converted in step S55. When the expansion data and the paper feed data, which are the font data for printing, are created by the characters and the line feed data in, and the print processing is performed in step S53, the print content shown in FIG. 13 is printed on the label paper.

Next, the barcode-font conversion in step S54 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

In step S501, first, the patient number in the patient card data is fetched. Next, in step S502, the start character (a) and
The stop character (a) is the patient ID taken in
It is added before and after the number. In step S503, the character string for creating the bar code font is converted into a bar code pattern with reference to the character / bar code pattern comparison table shown in FIG.
In step S504, the font data of the I area for the upper 9 dots of the dot pattern shown in FIG. 16 is generated. In step S505, the paper feed data is set to zero.

Next, in step S506, the font data of the II area for the upper 9 dots is generated. This is a measure to prevent the print wire from being caught on the paper and causing printing failure when the dots of the odd number and the even number of the DP number are continuously printed. It is printed separately.

Next, in step S507, the paper feed data, that is, the line feed amount is set to 1/2. In step S508, the font data of the area III of 9 dots on the upper side is generated. This data is the same as the font data for the area I. Then, step S
In step S509, the paper feed data is set to 0, and step S
At 510, the font data of the IV area for the upper 9 dots is generated. This data is the same as the font data of the area II.

By the processing in steps S504 to S510, there is no dot gap in the paper feed direction.

Next, in step S511, the paper feed data is set to the (8 + 1/2) pitch. Then, in step S512 and subsequent steps (that is, S512 to S518), font data for the lower 9 dots similar to the above is generated. With this, the width of the barcode is an appropriate size,
For example, 0.353 × (9 + 9) = 6.4 mm. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the number of the patient ID can be printed by the barcode on the two labels 62 attached to the mount 61 of FIG. 12, and further the patient name and the time data can be printed. it can.

Next, the configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG.
