Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention is applicable to computers, word processors,
It is used in the output part of microcomputers, etc. and is removably attached to a printing device that prints 9 characters on paper 1
In particular, regarding the folding paper feeding mechanism (also called an inserter),
Magnetic eyes are characterized by having a magnetic recording device that can magnetically write and read printed content on a magnetic recording strip attached to a part of the paper.

[Relating to a paper feed mechanism with a recording device. Information processing devices, which have been widely used in recent years, can input information from paper tapes, cards, and keyboards, calculate numerical values at high speed, and classify data into one category. It is necessary to print on paper for visual identification and preservation. For this reason, it is common to use a printing device that is connected to an information processing device and records the results of processed information on a sheet of paper using a method such as dot matrix or inkjet. In this case, in order to print a large amount of information on a large amount of paper in a large-scale information processing installation, a dedicated operator works using magnetic tape, magnetic disk, etc., and the storage medium itself and its stored contents are It is easy to match the storage media, and storage media can be managed systematically. Small information processing devices such as computers, microcomputers, and personal computers, as well as single-function devices such as Japanese word processors and graphic processing devices, are not operated by full-time operators, and magnetic disks and floppy disks are used as information storage media. Many storage devices such as disks were used. This article 14c stores specific information in the device,
In order to retrieve this memory at a later date, a unique operation must be performed using the file number attached to each piece of information, which is cumbersome and at the same time, errors may occur during operations such as checking and writing the file number. In some cases, it was not possible to retrieve the desired information, which caused trouble. In addition, in the method using a floppy disk, the name of the graphic information file on the floppy disk and its contents may not necessarily match, or if multiple files exist, files with similar contents may be It is easy to give similar names, and in information sorting work, a file different from the target file is often called up, making the work inefficient. For this reason, a special paper with a magnetic recording band provided on a part of it is used, and at the same time a printing device prints characters 9, figures, etc. on the surface of the paper, and at the same time, information corresponding to the information printed on the magnetic recording band is used. A method has also been proposed in which the information is stored magnetically and the information content is visually confirmed using this paper and the electrical information (signal) is read from the magnetic recording strip. This method uses a special printing device to write on a magnetic recording strip by sliding a magnetic head at a constant speed.
Maintenance 2 requires reading, and requires a drive mechanism for the magnetic head, making the structure complicated.
Assembly is cumbersome and time consuming. In addition, since the magnetic head is installed in the printing device, the printing device is special and dedicated, making it difficult to spread to the general public. This puts a heavy burden on the user. In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a magnetic recording device in a paper feeding mechanism (normally capable of feeding single sheets one by one and sold as an option) that can be attached to and detached from a printing device, and this paper feeding mechanism is provided with a magnetic recording device.

It is being Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Full keyboard 8. To operate the information processing device of the 2F language document on the last day of implementation. By operating the function keyboard 9 and the control keyboard 10, various functions can be performed individually. Each function will be explained below. (b) Manual document input 1 Edit 9 Proofreading Set the document creation mode using the function keyboard 9,
A Japanese document is manually input by typing on the full keyboard 8. A code is transmitted from the full keyboard 8 to the input control circuit 50 by a typing operation, and at the same time, a command signal from the control keyboard 10 transmitted via the control circuit 55 is input to the input control circuit 50. The code is identified, and the input conversion circuit 5 performs the function of converting the character code (kanji code) Iic7 from the &C character code and item code.

do. Further, editing 9 proofreading can also be operated each time using the control keyboard 10. (0) Printing on Paper When the function keyboard 9 is used to switch to print mode, the display circuit 56 transmits the Japanese document displayed on the cathode ray tube 6 to the printer head 41 via the hard copy circuit 58. 41 to be printed on paper. In this printing mode, when a single sheet of paper (ordinary blank paper other than the special paper 24 in FIG. 1) is inserted from above between the pair of paper guides 19 in the paper feed section 3, sent downward, m
It is further sent in the F direction by the tension roller 30 while being pinched by the moving plate 28 and the tension roller 30 (the tension roller 30 rotates in synchronization with the platen 13). Further, the paper is pressed and held between the platen 13 and the guide rollers 25 and 26, and when the top edge of the paper reaches a predetermined reading position, the winding of the paper is completed. Next, the code of the Japanese document is outputted from the built-in buffer memory from the Hult copy circuit 58 to the printer head 41 in step with the printing speed, and the printer head 41 controls the dot needle according to the input printing code and prints the ink ribbon. Press 43 onto the paper to print the figure or Japanese document. The control circuit 5 operates in conjunction with the operation of the printer head 41.

The carrier 35 is moved along the carrier guide rail 33 and the guide rail 34, and the tip of the printer head 41 is moved left and right with respect to the paper to print characters on the paper. In this print mode, when the paper runs out, the photodiode 32 detects the paper run out and the lamp 15 turns on to issue an instruction. When using continuous forms in this printing mode, the input/output/paper feed section 3 is removed from the printing section 2 to open the mounting port 11, and the platen 1 is removed from the paper feed port 12.
3. Printing can be performed continuously by having a continuous strip of paper on the outer periphery and sending it out from the mounting port 11. C] Save/record full keyboard 8. If the Japanese documents created and collected by operating the control keyboard 10 are not saved in some form, the VA will be able to print or edit the entire same document at a later date.
It is inconvenient for Therefore, in this example, the Japanese document can be electronically stored using the storage/recording Mk 24 having the magnetic recording band 23. When the function keyboard 9 is set to write mode, the switching circuit 59 connects the 1-signal/1-signal processing circuit 60 and the data output storage circuit 57, transmits the Japanese document from the control circuit 55 as document information to the head unit 22, and magnetically Recording the documents 1 and 8 on the recording belt 23 and printing the same Japanese document on the surface of the paper 240,
can. When the paper 24 described above is inserted into the paper guide "19," the light from the lamp 31 is blocked and the photodiode 32 detects that the paper 24 has been inserted, and the paper detection circuit 61 causes the control circuit 55 to detect the insertion of the paper 24. For this purpose, a control signal is output to the motor 44 of the control circuit 55, the roller shaft 20 degrees and the feed roller 21 are rotated, and the paper 24 is fed downward at a predetermined speed while being held between the feed roller 21 and the head section 22. At this time, the data of the Japanese document to be stored is output from the data output storage circuit 57 to the signal processing circuit 60 and temporarily stored, and this data is sequentially transferred to the magnetic recording band 23 by the head section 22&C. This writing operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The signal separation circuit 65 in the data processing circuit 60 first separates the control signal and the data signal, and transfers the data signal to the storage/editing circuit 66. The data signal (Japanese document information) is edited to an appropriate data length and transmitted to each modulation/demodulation circuit 67.In each modulation/demodulation circuit 67, the data signal is input to encoder 72&C, and the data signal is input to encoder 72&C.
Then, the data signal is transmitted to the write amplification circuit 73Vc in step with the synchronization signal from the oscillation circuit 76, and the data signal amplified by the write amplification circuit 73 is transmitted to each magnetic head 69. Data will be magnetically recorded on 23. The synchronization signal from the oscillation circuit 76 is also transmitted to the synchronization circuit 71 at the same time, and the synchronization circuit 71 shapes and amplifies the synchronization signal to the motor control circuit 7.
0 as a rotation reference signal to the motor control (b) path 70.
Then, the rotation speed of the motor 44 is controlled by the signal from this synchronous circuit 71. Therefore, the paper 24 is
If the feeding speed and the writing speed of the magnetic head 69 of the head unit 22 are synchronized when the recording medium is fed at a speed of 1, the recording density on the magnetic recording band 23 can always be made to match. Since the head unit 22 is provided with eight magnetic heads 69 in rows, it becomes an eight-channel recording method, and as shown in FIG. will be done. ζ In this way, data is recorded on the magnetic recording band 23 until the paper 24 is wound around the platen 13 up to the needle at a predetermined position, and after this, data is recorded on the surface of the paper 24 with the same Japanese as recorded by the printer head 41. The documents are printed one after the other, and the printing operation is the same as in the printing mode described above. In other words, in this save/record mode, data is recorded when the paper 24 is inserted, and printing is performed when the paper 24 is ejected.
Separate operations are performed when the paper 24 moves forward and backward. FIG. 8 shows an example in which printing and document information are stored on the paper 24. A Japanese document is printed on the surface of the paper 24, and document information with the same content is magnetically recorded on the magnetic recording band 23. Ru. Then, a file number A corresponding to the Japanese document is added to the top of the paper 24 for later use. A flowchart for writing the sentence 1 information onto the magnetic recording band 23 is performed in the order shown in FIG. b) Inputting document information using paper 24 As mentioned above, there is a magnetic recording band 23 on the back side of the special paper 24.
The same Japanese information as that printed on the paper 24 is magnetically recorded on the magnetic recording band 23. The Japanese information recorded on this magnetic recording band 23 is not just character information, but also file numbers, formats, etc.
Spacing between two new lines. Control information such as character size is also recorded at the same time. Therefore, the same information as the document manually input and edited using the full keyboard 8 and the control keyboard 10 is stored in the magnetic recording band 23. This magnetism = r-
: By reproducing the document information on the recorder 23, the same document printed on the paper 24 can be reproduced and displayed on the cathode ray tube 6, or the same document can be printed on ordinary paper by the printing unit 2. can. - First, the funk/yon keyboard 9 is set to read mode, the 1lil control circuit 55 switches the switching circuit 59 to connect the 1g processing circuit 60 and the data input storage circuit 62, and waits for data input. Become. Next, when the paper 24 is inserted into the paper guide 19, the paper detection circuit 61, which is a photodiode 32, detects the insertion of the paper 24 and informs the control circuit 55, and waits for data capture. At the same time, the motor 44 is driven to pull the paper 24 downward, and the magnetic recording band 23 slides along the sides of the head section 22, and the magnetic head 69 constituting the head section 22 reads data along each corresponding track. I will read it. magnetic head 6
The signal from 9 is amplified by a read amplification circuit 74, demodulated and shaped by a decoder 75, and the output of this decoder 75 is transmitted to the memory editing circuit 66 as the output of each modulation/demodulation circuit 67. The memory editing circuit 66 temporarily stores the outputs of the eight hentai tone circuits 67, which are the data outputs for each famous track, and when all the data has been input, it is edited and assembled into one Japanese sentence 1 information and separated into signals. Circuit 65. All the data is transmitted to the data input storage circuit 62 via the switching circuit 59, and the H book candy pattern information read by the data input storage circuit 62 is transmitted to the input control circuit 50. The document information from this data manual storage circuit 50 is the same as the character code and kanji code obtained by operating the full keyboard 81ii11 control keyboard 10, and the above-mentioned (a) document input 9 editing is performed on this document information. Similar to proofreading, input conversion circuit 511 character generation circuit 53,
