RECORDING DEVICE, RECORDING SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18190315 Titled 'RECORDING DEVICE, RECORDING SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR RECORDING DEVICE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a recording device that includes various components such as a roll holding unit, transport mechanism, recording unit, cutting mechanism, and discharge unit. The recording unit is responsible for recording on a medium that is being transported from a roll. The cutting mechanism cuts the medium in a direction that intersects with the transport direction. The discharge unit then releases the cut medium.
The transport mechanism consists of a pair of transport rollers that are positioned before the recording unit in the transport path.
The control unit of the device is programmed to determine if the remaining length of the medium (referred to as L2) is not enough to perform recording when the medium is being held by the transport roller pair. If the remaining length is greater than a predetermined length, the control unit proceeds to cut the remaining medium to a predefined length (referred to as L3) or less using the cutting mechanism. The cut medium is then discharged.
In summary, the abstract provides an overview of the components and functions of a recording device, particularly highlighting the cutting and discharge mechanisms, as well as the control unit's ability to determine and handle insufficient remaining medium length.
Original Abstract Submitted
A recording device includes a roll holding unit, a transport mechanism, a recording unit, a cutting mechanism, and a discharge unit. The recording unit performs recording on a transported medium from the roll. The cutting mechanism cuts the medium, in an intersecting direction intersecting a transport direction. The discharge unit discharges the medium cut by the cutting mechanism. The transport mechanism includes a transport roller pair disposed upstream of the recording unit in the transport path. The control unit determines that the remaining length L2 of the medium is insufficient to perform recording in a state of pinching the medium by the transport roller pair and the remaining length L2 is greater than the predetermined length (affirmative determination in step S), the control unit cuts, by the cutting mechanism, a remaining medium to a predefined length L3 or less and discharges the remaining medium (steps S to S).
