摘要:
A media processing device, control method therefor, and associated program prevent a drop in the throughput of a media production process due to cleaning the print head. A publisher has a media drive, a transportation unit that conveys a recording medium according to a transportation command received from a host, and a printer that discharges ink from the nozzles of a print head to print on the label side of the recording medium. The printer also applies a cleaning process to the print head according to an internal signal that is generated when the transportation command or a data write command is received from a host. The cleaning process is executed while the media is conveyed.

A media processing device, control method therefor, and program prevent a drop in the throughput of a media production process due to cleaning the print head. A publisher 1 has a media drive 41, a printer 11 that discharges ink from the nozzles of a print head and prints on the label side of a recording medium and applies a cleaning process to the print head, and a media transportation mechanism 31 for conveying media to the media drive 41 and printer 11. A control method for the publisher 1 has a receiving step S12 wherein the printer 11 receives an internal signal that is a signal other than a print command and a cleaning command and is sent and received within the publisher 1, and a cleaning step S17 of executing a cleaning process parallel to a media transportation process or a data writing process in response to the internal signal.

A media processing device has a media drive for writing data on one side of recording media, a label printer for printing on the other side of the media M, media stackers for storing the media, and a transportation arm for transporting the media to any of the media drive, the label printer, and the media stackers according to control commands sent from a host computer. The control method for the media processing device has an execution step of starting executing a plurality of control commands based on a start process command; a decision step of determining if all of the control commands executed normally; and a transmission step of sending a normal termination report to the host computer as the response to the end process command that is sent as a set with the start process command if step determines that all control commands executed normally.
摘要:
A media processing device does not execute a media transportation process if the height of media stacked in a media storage unit is at an over capacity level, and reliably prevents problems such as damage to the media transportation mechanism caused by collision with the stacked media. If in the media processing device the height of media stacked in a media storage unit 121, 122 is at a full stack level or over capacity level (step S33 returns yes or step S35 returns yes), an appropriate warning is output (step S34 or step S36) and collision accidents of the media transportation mechanism 131 can be prevented.
摘要:
A compact media processing device enables recording on a process medium and then processing the process medium based on the result of recording. The media processing device conveys a process medium and processes the conveyed process medium by a first process unit disposed to the conveyance path, and an operation selection unit then determines the content of the next operation based on the result of the first process. After the next operation is determined, the conveyance control unit conveys the process medium upstream to or upstream of the process position of a second process unit. A process control unit then applies the selected operation to the process medium by the second process unit that is disposed downstream from the first process unit on the conveyance path of the process medium.
摘要:
A media processing device, a control method for a media processing device, and a control program for the same can accurately detect the last one or specified number of media stored in the media stacker. Media stackers store media in a stack. Media processing units write data and/or print a label on the media. A media transportation mechanism has a transportation arm that can hold the media and move vertically, and transports the media between the media stackers and the media processing units by movement of the transportation arm. A control unit controls the media processing units and the media transportation mechanism 31. The control unit has a measurement unit that measures the height of media stacked in the media stacker when media is removed from the stacker by the media transportation mechanism, and a comparison unit that compares the measured media height with a reference value to detect the difference therebetween, and determines the remaining media count in the media stacker.

摘要:
When using a multifunction device having plural devices providing the multiple functions, a control device, a method of controlling the multifunction device, and a program enable programs that are not optimized for the multifunction device to use the multifunction device. A host computer controlling a multifunction device through application program execution units executes plural application programs each corresponding to at least one of the multiple devices. A port control process receives data from the multifunction device through a USB port, exclusively controls data output by the application program execution units, sends the data from the USB port to the multifunction device, and filters and passes data received from the multifunction device by the port control process to the application program execution units.
