Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example 1:

the invention mainly solves the problems of manual switching of label paper and printer change, so as to improve the working efficiency of warehouse packers and reduce the error probability.

As shown in fig. 1, the automatic printing method for box labels with different specifications according to the present invention includes the following steps:

s1: configuration of the printing system: the printing system comprises an input device code scanning gun, a software system, an MES and a printer, wherein:

the input equipment code scanning gun is used for scanning a bar code on the IC card module finished product to obtain the plate number of the IC card module product;

the software system is used for managing delivery information, associating corresponding customers with the box label size and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent printing;

the MES system is used for storing corresponding production data, basic information of products needing to be supplemented is read on the box label by the software system;

the printer is used for finishing printing action, and the box label size and the printer setting need to be manually switched due to the inconsistency of the box label size and the box label content;

s2: configuration of the printer: because two box labels with different specifications and sizes are adopted, two printers with the same model are equipped, box label paper with different specifications and sizes is placed, and meanwhile, the two printers are configured to be the corresponding box label sizes on the PC machine and are provided with corresponding printer names;

s3: scanning to obtain data and checking: a software system of the PC machine acquires scanned disk number information through a code scanning gun of the input equipment, and when 5 disks of IC card module products are scanned, the software system can access the MES system, acquire production data of the 5 disks of products and check the production data;

s4: automatic calling and printing: and the software system automatically calls the corresponding template, calls the corresponding printer according to the size of the template and prints the box label paper with the corresponding size.

Example 2:

the principles of the present invention are explained below in specific cases.

For example, the customer's box label size is 80mm by 100mm, which will be printed on TSC printer 1, whereas 150mm by 100mm box label will be printed on TSC printer 2, as shown in fig. 2.

Some settings are required within the software operating interface when printing box labels.

The specific packaging operation steps are as follows:

1. selecting a customer, a date, and a shipping batch number;

2. selecting the type of box label (namely the style and the specification size of the box label) according to the requirements of the packaging specification;

3. clicking a 'start printing' button to scan a bar code on an IC card module product;

4. scanning the IC card module finished product;

5. if 5 discs of products are scanned, automatically printing corresponding box labels; when the number of the products is less than 5, continuing the step 4;

6. if the scan is insufficient for 5 discs of product, the print can be ended by clicking the "end print" button.

In the operation, the corresponding box label can be automatically printed without manually setting the corresponding printing setting. The specific software flow chart is shown in fig. 3.

The printed box label formats are 150mm x 100mm box label and 80mm x 100mm box label respectively.

The method can reduce the possibility of errors in manually entered data, and the data used in the system is the production data acquired from the MES system, so that manual input is not needed, and the error probability is reduced. In actual packaging process, the packer only needs to scan the bar code on the product, alright in order to obtain corresponding data to can support through selecting corresponding label, print out corresponding case label, and reduce manual operation, fully improve artifical efficiency, reduce 1 manual work.

In the past, 1 printer is adopted, when box labels with different sizes are printed, a paper source of the printer is opened, the box label paper is changed into corresponding box label paper, and meanwhile, the printer is set.

The invention is characterized in that two printers are configured, box labels with two different sizes are pre-loaded, and the two printers are configured on the PC respectively. When the box label is printed, the software system can automatically print the corresponding box label according to the box label selected by the system.

The invention can be widely applied to printer cooperation occasions.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
