Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a page printer capable of applying a perforated line on a print paper in a short time by a simple operation. CONSTITUTION:A printer is equipped with a perforated line cutter that applies a perforated line on a print paper 4 at a designated position designated by a position signal. The perforated line cutter comprises a blade-receiving section 6 across the print paper and a blade section 7 placed upper the blade-receiving section. The print paper is inserted between the blade-receiving section 6 and blade section 7. The blade section has a plurality of cutting blades intermittently placed in a transversal direction of the print paper. The blade section is moved in the vertical direction so that the plurality of cutting blades cooperate with the blade-receiving section to apply the perforated line on the print paper.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a page printer device, and more particularly to a page printer device which is provided with so-called perforations on a print sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a printer device of this type, for example, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 01-175838. The printer device disclosed in the publication is provided with a gear-shaped perforation cutter, and presses the perforation cutter against the printing paper to move it in a predetermined direction, thereby forming perforations extending in the predetermined direction on the printing paper. Is configured.

[0003]

However, in the printer device of the publication, it is necessary to move the perforation cutter in two directions, a pressing direction and a traveling direction. There was a problem. Further, since the perforated cutter moves while being pressed, there is a problem in the durability of the operating portion of the perforated cutter.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a page printer device capable of perforating a print sheet in a short time by a simple movement.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a page printer device with a perforated cutter according to the present invention includes an information processing device for generating a print signal, a perforated signal, and a position signal, and a print A printing device that prints on a sheet at a position designated by the position signal according to the print signal, and a perforation at the position designated by the position signal on the print sheet according to the perforation signal. A perforation cutter for imparting the perforation cutter, wherein the perforation cutter includes a blade portion extending in a direction crossing the printing paper, and imparting the perforation by pressing the blade portion onto the printing paper. Is characterized by.

[0006]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a page printer apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The page printer apparatus of FIG. 1 comprises a paper suction tray 1 for storing print paper before printing and perforation formation, and a suction roller 2 for taking out the print paper from the paper suction tray 1. . The paper suction tray 1 is such that the paper size can be changed first. Reference numeral 4 indicates a print sheet.

The page printer device further includes an information processing device 3 and a printing device 5. Information processing device 3
Stores print information and perforation information from a terminal device (not shown), and generates a print signal, a perforation signal, and a position signal according to the information.

The printing paper 4 is sent to the printing device 5. The printing device 5 is for printing on the printing paper 4 at a position designated by the position signal according to the printing signal, and includes a print head for printing on the printing paper 4.
A perforated cutter, which will be described in detail below, is provided downstream of the printing device 5 in the feeding of the printing paper 4.

The perforation cutter is for imparting intermittent or intermittent scratches, so-called perforations, to the print paper 4 at the position designated by the position signal according to the perforation signal. It includes a fixed blade receiving portion 6 and a blade portion 7 located above the blade receiving portion 6 and movable in one direction, that is, in the vertical direction.
The printing paper 4 is inserted between the blade receiving portion 6 and the blade portion 7. The blade receiving portion 6 and the blade portion 7 extend linearly across the printing paper 4. The blade receiving portion 6 has a rubber portion on its upper surface. The blade portion 7 has a plurality of cutter blades arranged intermittently in the lower portion in the direction traversing the printing paper 4. The plurality of cutter blades cooperate with the blade receiving portion 6 to give perforations to the printing paper 4.
Specifically, referring to the position signal, the blade portion 7 moves up and down in response to the perforation signal, and at this time, a plurality of cutter blades are pressed toward the blade receiving portion 6 via the printing paper 4. As a result, perforations are given to the printing paper 4 at a position designated by a simple operation in a short time.

The printing paper 4 which has been printed and / or perforated is discharged onto a discharge tray 9 by a discharge roller 8.

[0012]

As described above, the page printer according to the present invention enables perforation to be applied to the printing paper by simply moving the blade portion of the perforation cutter in one direction. In this way, the perforation can be imparted to the printing paper in a short time by a simple movement, so that the load on the operating unit is reduced and therefore the durability of the operating unit is improved.
