 Then, if the count value L is equal to or less than the number of digits of each Kogire 1a characters / numbers in step S141 (NO), the process returns to step S63, the count value L than the number of digits of each Kogire 1a characters / numbers When larger (YES), adds 1 to the count value K in step S142 overwrites the count value K storage memory M12.
[0118]
 Step S143 In reading the number of lines Kogire 1a in large format prints from the memory M52, if the count value K is less than or equal to the number of rows Kogire 1a in large format prints at step S144 (NO), the process returns to step S3, count When the value K is larger than the number of rows Kogire 1a in large-format prints (YES), 1 is added to the number of printed sheets count value P in step S145, and overwrites the number of printed sheets count value P for storing the memory M11, step Back to S2.
[0119]
 That is, in step S128, steps S139-step S145, an eleventh step, the same processing as the sixth to ninth step, the second (L = 2) from the last character / number (L = N L ) of repeating the character / number, a twelfth step, the same processing as steps of the first to eleventh, last from Kogire 1a of the second row (K = 2) (K = N K line of) small Repeat for cutting 1a, as a 13 step, the same processing as the first to twelfth step, the large-format prints of the second sheet (P = 2) last (P = N P for large format print) (i.e. printing until the end) is repeated.
[0120]
 That is, in the present embodiment, the allowable value for determining the appropriateness of printed characters / numbers in each Kogire 1a (the criterion), each row in view of the elongation of the pattern of the paper trailing edge of the large-format printed matter 1 ( and to set for each count value K). Further, while using a common tolerance on all Kogire 1a for inspection of geometrical similarity of each character / number, inspection of the position of the character / number string 1b with respect to the reference mark 1c is set for each row and so it inspected using different tolerance and can be set separately tolerance only test necessary items. The reference mark 1c and inspection of positional relationship between the character / number string 1b is carried out by only the character / number at the nearest position from the reference mark 1c, all similarity rate of the reference image of the character / number characters / numbers It was to perform for.
[0121]
 According to the character / number check unit of securities according to the present embodiment constructed in the paper trailing edge elongation occurs in the pattern of large-format prints 1, character relative to the reference mark 1c compared to addition side / even if the position of the number is slightly deviated, if it is within geometrical similarity rate allowable value of the character / number can be judged to be correctly printed, the shape similarity of each character / number while maintaining the accuracy of the rate of inspection, incorrectly it is possible to suppress receiving the error, thereby improving the quality of testing.
[0122]
 In the present embodiment described above, an example to be set, the tolerance of the position of Kogire 1a for each row an example of an inspection of Kogire 1a only one column (the count value K), picture the elongation for may vary depending on the position in the column direction, the allowable value of the position of Kogire 1a is preferred to set for each row and each column. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments described above, for example, permit at least the tolerance of the position of one Kogire 1a other Kogire 1a positioned according to the elongation of the pattern of the paper ass may be a value different way, it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Industrial Applicability
[0123]
 The present invention can be applied to a character / number check unit and character / number check method of securities.
