Paper feeding memory cell 201 and print process unit 208 are hardware cells of print unit 110.More particularly, paper feeding memory cell 201 comprises a plurality of to carton (sheet material memory cell) of storing paper (sheet material).Printer 100 comprises a plurality of cartons of giving, and can store a large amount of sheet materials and in the situation that do not stop printing and print at a large amount of sheet materials.Respectively comprise the remaining sheet quantity sensor to carton, and can detect to lacking paper and remaining sheet amount in the carton.There is polytype remaining sheet quantity sensor, comprise the remaining sheet quantity sensor that uses reflection sensor to detect from the side the paper level, and measurement is for the remaining sheet quantity sensor of the amount of movement of the pallet of the paper bundle of the paper feeding that moves up.Print process unit 208 is by the electrofax processing etc., at synthetic image on by the paper of supplying with to carton of the paper feeding memory cell 201 of operation control module 207 appointments of master controller 112.Print process unit 208 and operation control module 207 are critical function parts of master controller 112, but not directly related with the present invention, so be not described in detail.
Realize by software program and the CPU101 that preserves in the program ROM 104 to paper feeding switch control unit 205 in carton group setting unit (setting of sheet material cell group) 202 and the group.Software program shows image by the display unit 108a at operating unit 108, comes to operator notification information.The operator's of the key of printer 100 acceptance use operating units 108 input.More particularly, has the function that creates the paper feeding group to carton group setting unit 202., come dividing into groups to carton in the paper feeding memory cell 201 by using user interface images shown in Figure 3 (describing after a while) to carton group setting unit 202.When in use be finished paper to carton the time, in the group paper feeding switch control unit 205 based on the information of the paper of storage in the paper feeding memory cell 201 and to the information of carton group setting unit 202, determine should be in organize which supply with paper to carton.
Paper is changed (sheet material replacings) method guiding generation unit 204, paper and is changed (sheet material replacing) condition setting holding unit 209, paper feeding history storage unit 210 also the software program by preservation in the program ROM 104, CPU101, external memory storage 109 etc. are realized.During each opening to paper feeding to carton from paper feeding memory cell 201, master controller 112 is with the paper feeding historical storage externally in the memory 109 (paper feeding history storage unit 210).Paper is changed condition setting holding unit 209 and will by the condition of operator via operating unit 108 inputs, be stored in the external memory storage 109.Based on these canned datas, paper replacing method guiding generation unit 204 creates the guiding about paper replacing method that is used for showing at the display unit of operating unit 108 picture shown in Fig. 4 A.The content of guiding for example be to carton antiquarian, give the paper amount confirmed in the carton, to the carton grouping information and should change paper to carton.
Fig. 4 A illustration each the grouping to the antiquarian of storing in the carton and paper amount.In this case, A4 size paper and A3 size paper are printed.The carton 2 of giving of group 1 is stored A4 size common paper, to the give carton of carton 2 recommended conducts for storage A3 size paper.As describing with reference to Fig. 3, group 1 give carton 1 be preferentially be used for other print jobs to carton, and forbid change to paper type and the antiquarian of carton 1.The carton 8 of giving of group 3 is stored A3 size common paper.Yet, show owing to belonging to other groups to carton 8, so give carton 8 unavailable.
Fig. 3 is that illustration is to the figure of the picture disply that uses in the carton group setting unit 202.
Comprising a plurality of giving in the printer of carton, these are carried out grouping to carton, and can be as the jumbo carton of giving.That is to say, in given group one to carton become sky or print job request to carton in not in the situation of the paper of storage, other give the paper in the carton in the use group.Printer can be in the situation that do not stop print processing and print continuously.
The display unit 108a demonstration group of operating unit 108 arranges picture, and, come option based on the input from the touch-screen of operating unit 108.
Tabulating to carton of example as paper feeding memory cell 201 is presented at the left side of picture.The remaining sheet amount in the carton of respectively giving is shown as icon, and antiquarian and paper type are shown as text.Prepare to have expression whether can carry out check box and drop-down option that sheet material is changed respectively for the carton next door.Referring to carry out paper without check mark in the check box changes.Check mark refers to forbid that paper changes.From change as the paper that is detected by paper search unit 203 candidate to the carton, get rid of have check mark to carton.Drop-down list at right-hand member is used to specify the group that respectively belongs to carton.Group # based on appointment divides into groups to carton to all.
In the example of Fig. 3, be divided into group 1 for carton 1 to 3.Be divided into group 2 for carton 4 and 5.Be divided into group 3 for carton 6 to 8.Give carton (to carton 1,4,7) for first of each group, their check box is selected to forbid that paper changes.
Print job appointment by client computer PC120 input will be for the carton of giving of print job.When appointment be finished to paper in the carton time or to carton in not the size of storage or the paper of type become in case of necessity, detect necessary paper whether be present in appointment in the identical group of carton in the carton.If detect necessary paper in group, what then printer 100 uses detected continues print job to the paper in the carton.
Below, with reference to the operation of the printer 100 of Fig. 4 A explanation in the situation that does not have the required paper of print job.Fig. 4 A is the figure that the display unit 108a of exemplified operation unit 108 shows the paper replacing guide picture of the guidance information that is generated by paper replacing method guiding generation unit 204.
In this example, show 8 paper feeding cartons 1 to 8.Consistent with Fig. 3, be divided into group 1 for carton 1 to 3, be divided into group 2 for carton 4 and 5, be divided into group 3 for carton 6 to 8.In this example, print job is the dimensional hybrids operation of using A4 and A3 size.Owing to not having A3 size paper in the group 1, paper error occurs.This job request paper feeding source use group 1.
By the demonstration among reference Fig. 4 A, the antiquarian of the box 2 that the operator can be by changing appointment without hesitation comes eliminating error.
Fig. 4 B is illustrated in to carton group setting unit 202 to forbid organizing all interior figure to the paper replacing guide picture in the situation of the paper replacing of carton.
Except the guiding on picture top, picture is identical with the picture of Fig. 4 A, so will not repeat its description.Owing to forbidding that to carton paper changes for all of group 1, so the indication operator uses A3 size paper, change by in the group 1 of operation appointment arbitrarily to the paper in the carton.In this example, think printer 100 frequent receptions will organize 1 all be used for the operation of A4 size to carton.Therefore, master controller 112 display messages, with after the print job of using executory A3 size finishes, turn back to change to the original A4 size paper in the carton.Whole cartons of giving that can use group 1 are carried out follow-up A4 size marking operation.
Below, with reference to the flowchart text of Fig. 5 paper replacing method guiding Graphics Processing sequence according to the master controller 112 of embodiment.Note,, in the program ROM 104 or external memory storage 109 (for example, hard disk) of master controller 112, be read out among the RAM102, and carried out by CPU101 about the procedure stores of this sequence of master controller 112.
Fig. 5 is for the flow chart of explanation according to the paper replacing method guiding Graphics Processing of the printer 100 of embodiment.Master controller 112 process print jobs but by the print job appointment to carton in do not exist under the situation of necessary paper, begin this paper replacing method guiding Graphics Processing.By being carried out storage in program ROM 104 by CPU101 and program that launch in RAM102 realizes this processing.
In the situation to the paper of the antiquarian of carton storage appointment and paper type by the print job appointment, to by printing (first prints control) for the paper (sheet material) that send to carton.Do not stored in the situation by the sheet material of the size of print job appointment and type by the carton of giving of print job appointment, in group, determine storage by the sheet material of the antiquarian of print job appointment and paper type to carton.Giving print image on the sheet material that send (second prints control) by determined to carton.
In step S501, master controller 112 in the group of current selection, search can store the required antiquarian of print job and paper type paper give carton.Below, with reference to the details that the flowchart text antiquarian/the paper type search is processed of Fig. 6.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart that antiquarian/the paper type search is processed for the step S501 of key diagram 5.
In step S601, master controller 112 notifies handoff candidate to initialize to the tabulation of carton prior to processing to being used for.Processing proceeds to step S602, and master controller 112 is given carton in the group of current selection all, determines can store by the antiquarian of print job request and whether being present in the group to carton of paper type.If do not check allly to carton, then to process and proceed to step S603, master controller 112 is given the carton from group, reads as antiquarian and paper type to the attribute of carton.Can automatically detect antiquarian from the position of lateral paper guide, or use operating unit 108 input antiquarians by the operator.Can't automatically detect paper type, therefore input paper types by the operator via operating unit 108.Then, process proceeding to step S604, master controller 112 determines whether the antiquarian of print job request is consistent to the attribute of carton with target with paper type.If antiquarian is consistent with attribute with paper type, then to process and proceed to step S605, the numbering to carton that master controller 112 will detect is stored in the tabulation of handoff candidate box.Then, processing proceeds to step S606.If master controller 112 determines that in step S604 antiquarian and paper type and attribute are inconsistent, then process proceeding to step S606, what master controller 112 will check changes into next to carton to carton.If checked allly to carton in step S602, then master controller 112 is to calling source notice handoff candidate box tabulation, and finishes search and process.
Return Fig. 5, in step S502, master controller 112 is determined to carton whether be present in current group in consistent with antiquarian and paper type by with reference to the tabulation of handoff candidate box.If master controller 112 is determined consistent existing to carton, then process proceeding to step S503, master controller 112 is determined to remaining sheet whether in the carton.If remaining sheet then processes proceeding to step S505, master controller 112 by will with switch to carton and consistent continue operation to carton.
If remaining sheet not during master controller 112 is determined to carton in step S503 is then processed and is proceeded to step S504, master controller 112 on the display unit 108a of operating unit 108, display message with prompting operation person to replenishing paper to carton.After to the paper that is added necessity to carton, master controller 112 continues the print job of interruption.
If master controller 112 in step S502, is determined not exist in current group consistent with antiquarian and paper type carton, then process and proceed to step S506, to change arbitrarily antiquarian and the paper type to carton to operator notification.For this reason, master controller 112 generates the guiding to carton that expression should be stored the paper of the required antiquarian of print job and paper type.Flow chart description with reference to Fig. 7 generates the details of processing after a while.Processing proceeds to step S507, master controller 112 is on the display unit 108a of operating unit 108, show the guiding that the processing by step S506 obtains, and present the sheet material memory cell that (notice) can store the sheet material of the size of appointment and type to the user.
Fig. 7 is the flow chart that antiquarian/paper type change guiding generation is processed for the step S506 of key diagram 5.
Guiding generates to process and is divided into roughly two.At first, in step S701, carry out antiquarian/paper type handover recommendation box search and process.The details of this processing are described with reference to Fig. 8 after a while.Usually, guiding is shown as changing the paper to carton by client computers 120 appointments.Yet, in many cases, often use the carton of giving of this kind appointment, so preferably do not change this to antiquarian and the paper type of carton.This is because when input during other operations, may again be changed very much for the antiquarian etc. of carton, and the productivity ratio of whole device may reduce.
Then, process proceeding to step S702, generate with the box guiding of carrying out other groups and process.The details of this processing are described with reference to Fig. 9 after a while.For the print job of using the carton group, only in same group, select paper.In the time of in the required paper of print job is stored in other groups, definite content of printer 100 is rendered as guiding, and the operator of printer 100 can not operate confusedly.
Fig. 8 is the flow chart that antiquarian/search of paper type handover recommendation box is processed for the step S701 of key diagram 7.
Antiquarian and paper type will be switched give carton preferred seldom use to carton.At first, in step S801, use the paper feeding frequency shift to the carton search order.Master controller 112 is incorporated into and is used storage to the paper feeding history storage unit 210 (Fig. 2) of carton, size and paper counting.In step S802, master controller 112 determined whether to check the paper feeding memory cell all give carton.If do not check allly to carton, then process and proceed to step S803.In step S803, master controller 112 determines whether forbid changing to the paper of carton to carton group setting unit 202.If master controller 112 is determined not forbid changing, then process proceeding to step S806, master controller 112 interrupts search, generates the guiding that changes to the paper of carton, and end process.
If master controller 112 in step S803, determines to forbid the change to antiquarian and the paper type of carton, then to process and proceed to step S804, master controller 112 adds expression and forbids the demonstration guiding that paper is changed to carton.Processing proceeds to step S805 to check next to carton, then proceeds to step S802.
If in step S802, checked in the group all to carton, then this group do not comprise can place the paper that can be used for print job to carton.In this case, process to proceed to step S807, master controller 112 shows below message: this group do not comprise can place the paper that can be used for print job to carton.In this case, the paper of giving arbitrarily carton in the user will organize is changed into antiquarian or the paper type by the print job appointment, and continues print job.At this moment, master controller 112 generating messages after print job finishes, will turn back to original paper size and paper type by Administrator to the paper in the carton with prompting user.Number by in " %d " that use in the guiding character string among substitution Fig. 8 to carton.Antiquarian title and paper type title are by substitution " %s ".
Forbid/permit settings although definite use of step S803 is changed by the paper to 202 appointments of carton group setting unit, also can use other conditions.For example, use to carton in the situation that identify in advance in the master controller 112 spooking print job, can forbid the use to carton.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart that generates processing for the box guiding of other groups of the step S702 of key diagram 7.Carrying out this search for all of printer 100 to carton processes.
In step S901, master controller 112 determined whether to check printer 100 all give carton.If all that do not check printer 100 are given carton, then process proceeding to step S902, master controller 112 determine to check to carton whether belong to by the print job appointment to the identical group of carton.Owing in the handover recommendation box search that reference Fig. 8 describes is processed, having generated same group guiding, having proceeded to step S905 so process.Yet, this processing only take belong to other groups to carton as target, process to proceed to step S903.
In step S903, master controller 112 determine whether to exist placed with by the identical antiquarian of print job request and paper type to carton.If exist placed identical antiquarian and paper type to carton, then process and proceed to step S904, so master controller 112 generates expression to carton owing to belonging to the different disabled guiding of group.Afterwards, processing proceeds to step S905.If in step S903, there is not the carton of giving of having placed identical antiquarian and paper type, then process proceeding to step S905.In step S905, master controller 112 is take next paper feeding box as target.Processing turns back to step S901 to continue search.
Give under the prerequisite of carton a plurality of, embodiment is illustrated.Yet, even in the situation that all are treated to one group to carton, also can obtain identical effect.
This embodiment has illustrated the operating unit that uses liquid crystal display and touch-screen.Yet the present invention is not limited to this technology.Even for example use Web User Interface via network, also can obtain same effect.
