Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the paper having a low reflectance without making contact with it by providing a light source emitting the light, a light receiving element receiving the light and converting it into an electrical signal and an optical fiber transmitting the light to the opposite side of the paper passage. CONSTITUTION:The light from a light source 1 reaches a light receiving element through an optical fiber 3 and is converted into an electrical signal. When the paper 4 is inserted into a paper passage, the light from the light source 1 is cut off and does not reach the light receiving element 2. The presence of the paper in the paper passage is detected by the difference in signals from the light receiving element 2 due to the existence or nonexistence of the paper 4.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、印刷装置の用紙検出方式に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a paper detection method for a printing device.

The mechanical sense method has the disadvantage that there is a feeling of resistance when paper is inserted, that it is difficult to use in business applications such as word processors that use a lot of cut paper, and that paper detection is not contactless.

On the other hand, the original sense method uses non-contact detection, but this method uses a photodiode to send light to the paper, and the reflected light is detected by a 7-photo sensor, so paper with poor reflectance cannot be detected properly. Increase the disadvantage by 1. Paper with poor reflectivity is, for example, colored paper or paper on which cross-cut lines or creases have been printed in advance.

The paper detection method of the present invention includes a light source that sends out light, a light receiving element that receives the signal and converts it into an electrical signal, and a source fiber that transmits the light that is provided on the opposite side of the paper path from the light source and the light receiving element. have.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

次に本発明について図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows the case of a working man 9. 4 indicates the paper, the first
The original transmission thread in the figure is interrupted. As a result, the source is not input to 2, so the output of 2 is different from that shown in FIG. 1, and the presence or absence of paper can be determined.
