摘要:
An IC chip socket for receiving an IC bare chip carrier includes a guide member for guiding the periphery of the IC chip carrier. The guide member supports a plurality of connector pins having one end projecting within the guide member and another end projecting without the guide member. The connector pins electrically connect the electrodes of the chip carrier to the electronic circuit substrate. The respective ends of the connector pins projecting within the guide member are brought into contact with the electrodes of the IC chip carrier. The ends of the connector pins which project without the guide member are connectable with the electrodes mounted on the surface of the electronic circuit substrate.

A print control device for use with a portable battery powered dot matrix printer has a DC motor which moves a carriage with a dot generating mechanism and is provided with a shaft position signal generator. A control circuit responds to the anglular position of the drive motor to establish a print cycle in which the DC motor and the dot generating mechanism are driven in alternation so as to minimize the rate of power consumption.

A drive circuit for a thermal printer having plural heat generating elements which are selectively energized comprising a current device controlling application of current to the heat generating means. The drive circuit also includes a current application time control circuit for varying the period of time during which current flows to the heat generating elements. Dot printing is produced with constant power and constant temperature over a wide range of power supply voltage variations. The time control circuit includes a charging circuit having a capacitor, and a discharging circuit connected in parallel. The charging circuit is inserted between the power supply terminals and includes a constant voltage component. A switching circuit operates in response to the level of charge on the capacitor to control the application of current to the heat generating means.

A check processing apparatus and method acquire and save data verifying the identity of a person using a check, and output this information in an effective manner to prevent improper use of the check. A check scanner 140 images all or part of the presented check C. A photo ID scanner 110 scans personal identification 71 presented as proof of identity by the person using the check, and a controller 160 converts the scanner output to generate personal identification image data. A merge file generating means 170 merges the image data from the check scanner with the personal identification image data to produce a merged file. The merged file is stored in merged file storage means 180 and output to a display 33.

Advertising information input control module of a POS system receives advertising information, and a billing amount calculating module calculates a billing amount based on advertising information received by input control module. A payment confirming module confirms payment of the billing amount calculated by the billing amount calculating module, and an advertising information storing control module stores the advertising information in a storing device. A check-out information input control module receives input of customer check-out information, and an advertising information retrieving module retrieves the advertising information stored in the storing device. A printing data generating module synthesizes or combines check-out information with the advertising information so as to generate printing data, which is output at a printing device, and printed as a receipt with an ad.

Advertising or sales promotion information can be additionally printed on a sales receipt without changing the POS application of the POS system, which includes a terminal computer for generating first print (e.g., sales) data based on transaction information, a server for generating second print data comprising advertising or sales promotion information, and a printer in which an interface device for communication with the terminal computer and the server is installed. The interface device has a first print data processing unit and a second print data processing unit, the former of which passes the first print data received from the terminal computer to both the printer and server. The server generates the second print data based on the content of the first print data, and then sends the second print data to the interface device, which sends that data to the printer.

A printing system, a thermal printer, a printer driver, a printing control method, and a data storage medium control the printing process according to the type of thermal paper that is loaded into the printer when the paper is replaced. By appropriately controlling address selector 1103, a print head controller 811 stores black print pixel data and red print pixel data in first data buffer 1104a for storing low energy level print pixel data or second data buffer 1104b for storing high energy level print pixel data according to the type of thermal paper in use. A logic circuit unit 1105 outputs the current pattern data to the print head 152 based on the low level print pixel data and high level print pixel data.

An image reader includes a main unit having a plate-like document holder on which an original document is to be placed, and an image reading section for reading an image carried by the original document. The image reader further has a cover secured to the main unit. The cover can be turned to open and close a space on the document holder. The cover is turnable about a first axis defined by a straight line extending in a first direction substantially on the plane of the document holder. At least part of the cover is turnable about a second axis defined by a straight line extending in a second direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The image reader can be placed on, for example, a desk top selectively either in a horizontal posture in which the document holder extends substantially parallel to the desk top plane or a vertical posture in which the document holder extends substantially vertically to the desk top plane. The image reader reads an image of an original document regardless of the posture of the main unit and can be installed so as to meet a space requirement, through suitable selection of the direction in which the cover is turned to open or close it. Also disclosed is an image information processing apparatus incorporating this image reader.
摘要:
A thermal printer drive control apparatus of the type having a thermal print head comprising a plurality of heating elements provides for reliable cost effective thermal head temperature detection by means of producing multiple, different current flow intervals that are applied to binary data to produce data drive signals for the heating elements. The current flow intervals are based upon historical drive data derived from linear temperature conditions sensed at the thermal print head. This information is converted to a digitized representation for use in conjunction with a table placed in memory that provides predetermined current flow intervals based upon the digitized representation. Further, circuitry is provided to produce heating element drive signals having pulse widths based upon the determined current flow intervals.
