Conventionally, wire dot printers have been mainly used as output devices for office computers and personal computers because they can use plain paper, make copies, and are inexpensive. However, in recent years, office automation has been promoted.

Printers are required to be even quieter and have higher quality printing.
It's here. Furthermore, as graphing and graphic processing of data by computers has become commonplace, there has been a strong demand for multicolor output values and positions. Wire dot printers are impact dot printers that print by striking an ink ribbon with several wires, so they cannot meet the above-mentioned requirements for quietness, high quality printing, and color printing.

Other types of non-impact printers include the thermal type, discharge destruction type, and inkjet type, but they require special paper, have poor print quality, are faded and fade, are expensive, and require maintenance. There are pros and cons, such as being unable to make copies, etc., and there are many conflicting opinions.

The general configuration and operation of a serial printer have been described above, and the present invention will now be described in detail. Second
The figure shows the printing operation in the printer of the present invention.
In order to facilitate understanding, the drive configuration and operation of one ink vane will be explained. The ink tube is made of a gold metal synthetic resin such as a stainless steel tube Yateflo 7'/-UB and is composed of an ultrafine tube Ov filled with ink (2) having an appropriate viscosity, and the inner diameter d of the ultrafine tube Ov and the ink Due to the relationship with (b) viscosity, ink θZ is held in the ultrathin tube Qυ by capillary action. Ultra-thin tube Qυ has 0 splash for printing
Q3 is fixed to one end of the print head Q3, and the other end of the print head @l! It is fixed on the lO arm. The printing spring 031 is engaged with a 1-langeer OL3 made of a permanent magnet. The 1-langeer αQ is attached to a solenoid consisting of an excitation iron core OL3 and an excitation wire ring 0, and the outer frame of the solenoid (
(g) is fixed to the print head section Cl41. Number four is Firaten.

One ink sheet (12b) which is very close to the inner circle (outer circle of ink) of hQυ is transferred to the recording paper θth. As shown in Figure 8 (σ5) 1, whether the ink penetrates to the back side of the recording paper J depends on the paper quality, paper thickness, exposure of the ink plate, etc. Experiments have shown that it is also possible to print on synthetic resin sheets such as PolyF and Delfilm, so it is thought that in this case, the ink adheres to and is transferred to the surface of the film.

The above is the configuration and operation of the Ventouch type printer, but the first step is multicolor Ventouch type serial pudding! 5th with Nitsu l + 1
Figure 1. Based on Figure 6 and Jlj. Here, black, blue,
A Ben-touch type printer that can record in four colors, green and red, will be explained. As shown in FIG. 6, the ink vents described in FIG. 4 are arranged in four columns or in parallel. The ink bars in each row are of different colors of ink, i.e., the first ink bar is black ink, the first ink bar is blue ink,
The ink ben (c) has green ink, and the ink ben (e) has red ink. The first four rows of ink vents 24 to (4) are incorporated into the print head section 0 and are moved in the lateral direction to ink vents of the desired color.
~ By selectively touching the recording paper (A) with the ink vane in column Q1, dot printing of any color O] is performed. Figure 6 (Print head section at home position 1 when each (k, (II) printing or (II) printing)
14, where the person is black, [F]) is blue, (C) is green, and (D) is red when the husband is printed. As shown in FIG. 6, when black printing is used as a reference, W1=1;tL+ for blue printing, and L2.tL+ for green printing. For red printing, move the print head part a to the right by L3.
Color printing is possible. When performing multi-color printing, first select the desired color, and then add a position correction amount (Ll, Lx, or ) according to the color to the signal that controls the position of the print head O4. By applying that signal to the print head driving motor, it is possible to perform dot recording without lateral positional deviation. The above has described serial dot printers that can record in multiple colors.One printer is an ink van type printer, as shown in Figure 7, by touching the ink van to the recording paper and moving the recording paper or print head part. You can draw line drawings (goods) like this.

In Fig. 7, the X-axis is the ink ben G! with the recording paper stationary. While keeping υ touching the recording paper, move the print head to the right and plot, and the Y axis is the ink ben? Touch V to the recording paper and feed the recording paper upwards while keeping the print head stationary and plot the sine waveform.While moving the print head to the right, first move the recording paper
・When the peak is reached, the recording paper (2) is sent upward, and when it reaches a photon, the recording paper (2) is returned downward again. As described above, the multicolor pen touch type printer according to the present invention can also be used as a multicolor pen plotter that can freely draw continuous lines.

Further, ink vents Qυ as shown in FIG. 8 can be arranged horizontally in a row. The explanation will be given based on FIGS. 9 and 10. This figure shows the structure of a four-color Bentouch type line printer. As shown in Figure 9, there are 4 horizontally arranged ink pen rows.
They are arranged in rows, with black ink in the ink vents (H) in the upper row of shadows, blue ink in the ink vents in the (7) row, and green ink in the ink vents in the next row. Red ink is stored in each of the lower ink vanes 00. When printing in multiple colors, as shown in FIG.
After moving to the printing position at the center (0) of 1.
By selectively touching the ink vane to the recording paper, dots of any color can be printed. l'! Figure 10 (

Printing can be done by simply touching the ink pen very lightly (several grams) to the recording paper, so there is almost no printing noise during printing, making it much quieter than wire dot printers. In addition, in the case of a wire dot printer, there is a limit to reducing the wire diameter because a strong impact force is applied to the wire when printing. 1 Although a wire dot printer with a wire diameter of 0.20 mm is usually used in a 24 x 24 dot matrix printer, there is a limit to reducing the wire diameter. On the other hand, the pen-touch type printer according to the present invention does not require any impact force to print, so it is possible to achieve a dot diameter of 0.10 mm, which is equivalent to that of inkjet printers, at 8V! High-quality printing with high image resolution can be obtained. Furthermore, since the printer according to the present invention can be equipped with a plotter function capable of drawing continuous lines as described above, it constitutes a plotter-type printer that has both printing speed and plotting function. You can also do that. By the way, the greatest feature of the present invention is that it enables multicolor recording simply by incorporating multiple ink pen rows and multicolor ink into the print head. The purpose of this invention is to provide a multicolor printer compatible with computer color processing in place of wire dot printers, which have not been popularized due to their complicated and expensive filter mechanisms.
