本発明は、インパクト式あるいはノンインパクト式のプ
リンタ装置に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an impact type or non-impact type printer device.
従来、この種のプリンタ装置においては、用紙の終了、
装置の異常が発生した場合は、操作パネル上にその旨の
表示をして、停止状態となっていた。その場合、操作員

に気付くまでには相当の時間を要し、結果的にコンピュ
ータの処理速度の低下を招く結果となっていた。Conventionally, in this type of printer device, paper end,
If an abnormality occurred in the equipment, a message to that effect was displayed on the operation panel and the equipment was stopped. In this case, if the operator is near the device, he or she can immediately respond to replenish paper or troubleshoot the problem, but in a computer room or large office, the operator may be far away from the device. Because of the large number of devices, it takes a considerable amount of time for the operator to notice that the device is in a stopped state, resulting in a decrease in the processing speed of the computer.
この対策として、用紙の終了時、異常の発生時等にブザ
ーを鳴らす等の喚起手段をもつプリンタ装置もあった。As a countermeasure against this problem, some printer devices have a warning means such as sounding a buzzer when the paper runs out or when an abnormality occurs.
しかしながらこの喚起手段のブザーの音量は一定であっ
たため、プリンタ装置の設置環境により、音量が大きす
ぎて他の操作員に迷惑をかけたり、あるいは、音量が足
りずに十分な効果をもたらしていなかったりした。However, since the volume of the buzzer used as this arousing means was constant, depending on the installation environment of the printer device, the volume may be too loud and cause trouble to other operators, or may not be loud enough to have a sufficient effect. It was.
本発明の目的は、用紙の終了、装置の異常の発生時等に
、操作員に喚起をうながす手段の強度を可変することに
より、設置環境に従い最適の強度にセットすることが可
能となるプリンタ装置を提る第一の手段と、装置異常の
発生を検出する〜第二の手段と、前記第一、第二の検出
手段からの信号により当該事象の発生を操作員に知らせ
るＶ報手段と、前記警報手段の警報音の強度を可変する
手段を持つことを特徴とする。It is an object of the present invention to provide a printer device which can be set to the optimum strength according to the installation environment by varying the strength of a means for prompting an operator to wake up when paper runs out, an abnormality occurs in the device, etc. a first means for detecting the occurrence of an abnormality in the apparatus; a second means for detecting the occurrence of an abnormality in the apparatus; and a V-report means for notifying an operator of the occurrence of the event using signals from the first and second detection means; The apparatus is characterized by comprising means for varying the intensity of the alarm sound of the alarm means.
次に本発明の実施例について、図面を参照して説明する
。Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第１図は本発明の実施例を示し、１は用紙終了検出部で

装置の異常検出部であり、マグネットセンサー、マイク
ロスイッチ等により構成されるものである。これら検出
部１あるいは２からの用紙終了信号１１．異常信号１２
は、制御論理部３に入力される。制御論理部３において
、信号１１．１２に従って用紙の終了か装置異常かの判
断が行なわれ、この結果が強度調整部５の内容に従って
操作員に注意を喚起する警報発生部６を起動する。制御
論理部３は、主にマイクロプロセッサにより構成され、
警報の発生の為の判断は、マイクロプロゲラ索によって
行なわれるものである。FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a paper end detection section, which is composed of, for example, a photosensor. Reference numeral 2 denotes an abnormality detection section of the device, which is composed of a magnetic sensor, a microswitch, and the like. A paper end signal 11 from these detection units 1 or 2. Abnormal signal 12
is input to the control logic section 3. In the control logic section 3, a judgment is made in accordance with the signal 11.12 as to whether the paper has ended or there is an abnormality in the apparatus, and this result activates the alarm generation section 6 which calls the operator's attention according to the contents of the intensity adjustment section 5. The control logic unit 3 is mainly composed of a microprocessor,
The decision to generate an alarm is made by the microprogera cord.
又、強度調整部５は可変抵抗器等により構成されるもの
である。一方、警報発生部６は、スピーカあるいは圧電
素子等により構成される。ここで強度調整部５は、操作
員により、容易に調整が行表われる構成となっており、
設置される環境により任意の強度に設定されるものであ
る。なお、４は印字機構部、７は上位論理部である。Further, the strength adjustment section 5 is constituted by a variable resistor or the like. On the other hand, the alarm generating section 6 is composed of a speaker, a piezoelectric element, or the like. Here, the strength adjustment section 5 is configured to be easily adjusted by the operator.
The strength can be set as desired depending on the environment in which it is installed. Note that 4 is a printing mechanism section, and 7 is an upper logic section.
本発明は、以上説明したように、用紙の終了時あるいは
装置の異常の発生時等に、警報を発生する為の手段と、
警報の強度を操作員が容易に調整できる手段を持つこと
により、プリンタ装置の設置される環境に最適女警報を
発生することが可能となる。As explained above, the present invention includes a means for generating an alarm when the paper is finished or when an abnormality occurs in the apparatus,
By having a means by which the operator can easily adjust the intensity of the alarm, it becomes possible to generate an optimal female alarm for the environment in which the printer device is installed.
