PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a construction which allows a user to easily recognize whether or not a packaging bag holds a hopper.SOLUTION: A medicine packaging device comprises: transport means for transporting a packaging bag which is folded in half putting means which is inserted into a space between the packaging bag folded in half and transported by the transport means, and puts a medicine into the packaging bag packaging means for packaging the medicine put by the putting means with the packaging bag for each pack printing means for printing to an area on the packaging bag where the putting means is inserted and printing timing control means for controlling a timing when the printing means performs printing. The transport means transports the packaging bag without putting the medicine by the putting means, at a prescribed timing, and the printing timing control means controls so that the printing means performs printing at the prescribed timing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】包装袋がホッパーを挟んでいるか否かを、ユーザーが認識しやすくする仕組みを提供する。【解決手段】2つ折にした包装袋を搬送する搬送手段と、搬送手段により搬送される2つ折にした包装袋の間に挿入し、薬剤を包装袋に投入する投入手段と、投入手段により投入された薬剤を包装袋により1包分ごとに包装する包装手段と、包装袋の投入手段が挿入される領域に印字を行う印字手段と、印字手段により印字を行うタイミングを制御する印字タイミング制御手段とを備え、搬送手段は、所定のタイミングで、投入手段により薬剤を投入することなく包装袋を搬送し、印字タイミング制御手段は、所定のタイミングで印字手段により印字するように制御する。【選択図】図5
