Abstract

The present invention relates to an automatic medicine packing apparatus with bitmap image printing function capable of printing a company logo, a time to take medicine, or the like in the form of a bitmap image onto a medicine packing paper, thereby allowing a variety of images to be represented thereon, and a method for printing a bitmap image using the automatic medicine packing apparatus. To this end, there is provided an automatic medicine packing apparatus for automatically packing dispensed medicines, comprising: a keypad having a plurality of key buttons and receiving operational instructions from a user; a display for displaying a menu and an operational state; a memory for having a database storing at least one bitmap image for indicating a medicine taking time; a packing paper roll in which a medicine packing paper is wound; a printing unit for printing the bitmap image read from the database on the medicine packing paper supplied from the packing paper roll; a medicine supplying unit for supplying the dispensed medicines; a sealing unit for thermal bonding and sealing the medicine packing paper in which the medicines supplied by the medicine supplying unit are accommodated; and a controller for reading the bitmap image for indicating a medicine taking time set according to user's request for setting a medicine taking time from the database to transmit the read bitmap image to the printing unit.
