Disclosure of Invention
However, in the printing apparatus having the live preview mode, when a character is input in the live preview mode, an unspecified character string based on a character input operation performed by an operator via an operation unit may be displayed in an appearance image of the generated print ribbon. In such a printing apparatus, since the display position of the character string is not determined and the display character size is not determined, the operator does not have good visibility of the character input screen in the live preview mode.
An object of the present invention is to provide a printing apparatus and a print image display processing method that can improve the visibility of an operator to a character input screen in a live preview mode.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a printing apparatus including: a conveying unit for conveying the printing tape; a printing unit configured to print the printing tape conveyed by the conveying unit to generate a printing tape; an operation unit capable of performing a desired operation input; and a display unit configured to perform a predetermined display in a display area including a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the printing apparatus includes a live preview mode in which an appearance image of the print ribbon generated is displayed in the display area along the first direction and an editing operation for a character string printed on the print ribbon via the operation unit is accepted, the printing apparatus including: a first operation reception unit configured to receive a character input operation via the operation unit when an operation mode is the live preview mode and the appearance image is being displayed; a first display control unit configured to control the display unit to display each character of an unspecified character string based on the character input operation accepted by the first operation accepting unit in a predetermined size in the first direction in a predetermined portion of the display area; a second operation reception unit configured to receive a specification operation via the operation unit for the unspecified character string; and a second display control unit that controls the display unit to display, in the display area, an appearance image including one character string corresponding to the specification operation accepted by the second operation acceptance unit as a specification character string.
The printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a live preview mode as an operation mode. In the live preview mode, the appearance image of the generated print ribbon is displayed in a first direction (for example, a left-right direction) in the display area of the display unit. Then, the operator can perform an editing operation on the character string printed on the print tape via the operation unit while maintaining the display state of the appearance image.
In the printing apparatus according to the present invention, when the operation mode is the live preview mode and the external image is being displayed, if the operator inputs a character via the operation section, the character input operation is received by the first operation receiving section. In this way, the first display control means displays each character of the undetermined character string based on the accepted character input operation in a predetermined size in the first direction in a predetermined portion in the display area. Then, if the operator specifies the undetermined character string via the operation means, the second operation reception means receives the specifying operation. In this way, the second display control means displays an appearance image including one character string corresponding to the accepted specification operation as the specification character string (switches display of the appearance image).
As described above, according to the present invention, when a character is input in the live preview mode, an unidentified character string can be efficiently displayed in a character of a size that is easy to be visually recognized by the operator at a position where the operator can easily visually recognize the character. As a result, the operator can improve visibility of the character input screen in the live preview mode.
According to the present invention, the visibility of the operator on the character input screen in the live preview mode can be improved.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
< Overall schematic Structure >
First, a schematic configuration of the printing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 3.
In fig. 1 to 3, the printing apparatus 1 cuts a printed label tape 109, which is printed as desired, into a predetermined length to produce printed labels (not shown) as a print tape. In the present embodiment, when front, rear, left, right, up, and down of the printing apparatus 1 are referred to, the directions shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, and the like are referred to.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the housing 2 of the printing apparatus 1 includes a lower cover 15 constituting the lower surface of the apparatus, a lateral cover 16 constituting the side surface of the apparatus, and an upper cover 17 constituting the upper surface of the apparatus. A keyboard 3 (corresponding to an operation unit) for performing various operations such as character input, a function key group 4 (corresponding to an operation unit) for executing various functions of the printing apparatus 1, and a liquid crystal display 5 (corresponding to a display unit) having a display area 5A for displaying input characters, symbols, and the like are provided on the upper cover 17 from the front to the rear. In the keyboard 3, in addition to 4 cursor keys such as "arp", "←", "→", "↓", and "↓", keys for usual letters and numbers are provided. In this example, the function key group 4 includes a power switch 4B, a Print (Print) key 4C, and the like. In this example, the display region 5A is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a longitudinal direction (corresponding to a first direction) as a lateral direction and a width direction (corresponding to a second direction) as a front-rear direction orthogonal to the lateral direction. A cutter bar 7 for cutting the printed label tape 109 (see fig. 3 described later) is provided on the right rear side of the horizontal cover 16.
A cartridge holder 9 to which the cartridge 8 can be attached and detached is provided on the upper rear side of the printing apparatus 1. The cartridge holder 9 is covered when the lower cover 15 configured to be openable and closable with the front end of the printing apparatus 1 as a rotation axis is closed, and the cartridge holder 9 is exposed when the lower cover 15 is opened.
As shown in fig. 2, a battery storage unit 70 capable of storing a plurality of batteries BT (see fig. 4 described later) is provided adjacent to the cartridge holder 9 on the upper rear side of the printing apparatus 1. In fig. 2, reference numeral 60 denotes a DC outlet to which an output plug of an AC adapter 220 (see fig. 4 described later) as an external power supply is connected.
< Box >
As shown in fig. 3, the cartridge 8 has: a frame body 8A; a first roller 102 (actually, spiral, but schematically illustrated as concentric circles in the drawing) disposed in the housing 8A and around which a band-shaped base material tape 101 is wound; a second roller 104 (actually, a spiral shape, but schematically illustrated as a concentric circle in the drawing) around which a transparent cover film 103 (corresponding to a print tape) having substantially the same width as the base tape 101 is wound; a ribbon supply roller 111 that feeds out the ink ribbon 105 as a thermal transfer ribbon (but is not required when the ribbon to be printed is a thermal ribbon); a ribbon winding roller 106 around which the printed ink ribbon 105 is wound; and a tape conveying roller 27 rotatably supported in the vicinity of the tape discharging portion of the cartridge 8. In the cartridge 8, for example, a detection target portion 6A (see fig. 2) that is detected by a cartridge sensor 6 (see fig. 4 described later) provided in the housing 2 of the printing apparatus 1 when the cartridge 8 is mounted on the cartridge holder 9 is provided in the housing 8A.
The tape transport roller 27 presses and adheres the base tape 101 and the cover film 103 to form a printed label tape 109, and transports the tape in a direction indicated by an arrow a in fig. 3.
The first roller 102 winds the substrate tape 101 around a reel member 102 a. The base tape 101 has a 4-layer structure in this example, and although not shown in detail, the base tape 101 is configured by laminating an adhesive layer for bonding made of an appropriate adhesive, a colored base film made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or the like, an adhesive layer for bonding made of an appropriate adhesive, and release paper in this order from the side wound on the inside toward the opposite side.
The second roller 104 winds the cover film 103 around a roll member 104 a. The ink ribbon 105 is pressed by the thermal head 23 (corresponding to a printing unit, see also fig. 2) and contacts the back surface of the cover film 103 fed out by the second roller 104.
At this time, in accordance with the configuration of the cartridge 8, the cartridge holder 9 is provided with a ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 107 (see also fig. 2) for taking up the used ink ribbon 105 and a tape transport roller drive shaft 108 (corresponding to transport means, see also fig. 2) for driving the tape transport roller 27 for transporting the label-printed tape 109. In the cartridge holder 9, the thermal head 23 for performing desired printing on the cover film 103 is provided so as to be positioned in the opening 14 of the cartridge 8 when the cartridge 8 is mounted (see fig. 2).
The driving force of a driving motor 211 (see fig. 4 described later) which is, for example, a pulse motor provided outside the cartridge 8 is transmitted to the ribbon winding roller driving shaft 107 and the tape conveying roller driving shaft 108 via a gear mechanism (not shown), and thereby the ribbon winding roller 106 and the tape conveying roller 27 are driven to rotate in conjunction with each other.
In the above configuration, when the cartridge 8 is mounted on the cartridge holder 9 and the roller holder is moved from the release position (not shown) to the printing position shown in fig. 3, the cover film 103 and the ink ribbon 105 are sandwiched between the thermal head 23 and the platen roller 26 provided to face the thermal head 23. At the same time, the substrate tape 101 and the cover film 103 are sandwiched between the tape conveying roller 27 and the pressure contact roller 28 disposed opposite to the tape conveying roller 27. Then, the driving motor 211 drives the ribbon winding roller 106 and the tape conveying roller 27 to rotate synchronously in the directions indicated by the arrows B and C in fig. 3. At this time, the tape transport roller drive shaft 108 is coupled to the pressure contact roller 28 and the platen roller 26 by a gear mechanism (not shown), and the tape transport roller 27, the pressure contact roller 28, and the platen roller 26 are rotated in accordance with the drive of the tape transport roller drive shaft 108, and the substrate tape 101 is fed from the first roller 102 and fed to the tape transport roller 27 as described above.
On the other hand, the cover film 103 is fed from the second roller 104, and a plurality of heat generating elements provided in the thermal head 23 are energized and generate heat by a thermal head control circuit 217 (see fig. 4 described later). At this time, the ink ribbon 105 driven by the ribbon take-up roller 106 is pressed by the thermal head 23 and brought into contact with the back surface side of the cover film 103 (i.e., the side to be bonded to the base tape 101). As a result, printing (described later in detail) corresponding to printing data such as desired characters and symbols is printed on the back surface of the cover film 103.
Then, the base tape 101 and the cover film 103 on which the printing is completed are adhered and integrated by the adhesive layer by the pressing of the tape transport roller 27 and the pressure-bonding roller 28, and are formed into a printed label tape 109 and discharged to the outside of the cassette 8. The ink ribbon 105 on which printing on the cover film 103 is completed is wound around the ribbon take-up roller 106 by driving the ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 107.
A cutting mechanism 42 including a fixed blade 40 and a movable blade 41 is provided downstream of the transport path of the printed label tape 109 discharged to the outside of the cassette 8. By operating the cutter bar 7, the movable blade 41 is operated to cut the printed label tape 109, thereby generating a cut printed label tape 109 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to simply as "printed label").
< control System >
Next, a control system of the printing apparatus 1 will be explained with reference to fig. 4.
As shown in fig. 4, the printing apparatus 1 has a CPU212 that performs a predetermined operation.
The keyboard 3, the function key group 4, the liquid crystal display 5, the EEPROM214, the RAM213, and the cartridge sensor 6 are connected to the CPU 212. Further, the CPU212 is connected to the following components: a power supply circuit 215 connected to the AC adapter 220 and performing power on/off processing of the printing apparatus 1; a motor drive circuit 216 that performs drive control of a drive motor 211 that drives the ribbon winding roller drive shaft 107 and the tape transport roller drive shaft 108; and a thermal head control circuit 217 for controlling the energization of the heat generating elements of the thermal head 23.
Various control programs (including a print processing program for executing the processing shown in the flowchart of fig. 7 described later) are stored in the EEPROM 214. The CPU212 performs signal processing in accordance with a program stored in the EEPROM214 by using the temporary storage function of the RAM213, thereby controlling the entire printing apparatus 1.
The cartridge sensor 6 detects the detection target portion 6A formed appropriately in the cartridge 8 or the like attached to the cartridge holder 9 by a known method (for example, a contact method mechanically or a noncontact method using a magnetic/optical method). The CPU212 acquires the type information of the cartridge 8 based on the detection result of the cartridge sensor 6. The type information includes at least the tape width information of the cover film 103 and the base tape 101 provided in each cartridge 8.
< features of the present embodiment >
In the above basic configuration, the present embodiment is characterized by a display method of an unspecified character string and a conversion candidate based on a character input operation by an operator via the keyboard 3 or the like in a screen displayed in the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5 at the time of character input in the live preview mode. Hereinafter, details of the method will be described with reference to comparative examples.
< text input mode and live preview mode >
The printing apparatus 1 is provided with a text input mode and a live preview mode as operation modes in which an editing operation can be performed on a character string (including one character) printed on a print label.
In the text input mode, a predetermined text input screen (not shown) is displayed in the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5. In the display state of the text input screen, the operator can perform an editing operation on the character string printed on the print label via the keyboard 3, the function key group 4, and the like.
On the other hand, in the live preview mode, a preview screen is displayed in the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5, and an appearance image (print image, in other words, a label image of a print label corresponding to an editing operation by the operator via the keyboard 3, the function key group 4, and the like until that point in time) IM of the generated print label is displayed in the left-right direction in the preview screen (see fig. 5(a) to (c) and fig. 6(a) to (d) to be described later). In the display state of the preview screen image, the operator can perform editing operations (including a character input operation described later, a selection determination operation described later, and the like) on the character string printed on the print label via the keyboard 3, the function key group 4, and the like, as in the text input mode.
< processing for displaying undetermined character string and conversion candidate in comparative example >
Here, the display processing of the unidentified character string and the conversion candidate in the comparative example will be described with reference to (a) to (c) of fig. 5.
Fig. 5(a) shows a preview screen 5B' displayed in the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5 in the live preview mode. In the preview screen 5B' of the example shown in fig. 5(a), a tag image IM containing a character string "abcdefabcdeff" as a determined character string for which character conversion has been determined is displayed. Further, a part of the first "a" and the subsequent "B" in the specified character string "abcdefabcdef" cannot be accommodated in the preview screen 5B' and is displayed by scrolling. In addition, in the preview screen 5B', immediately after the last "f" in the specified character string "abcdefabcdeff" in the tag image IM, the cursor 51 is displayed.
In the display state of the preview screen 5B' shown in fig. 5(a), the operator attempts to add the character string "buried め and わせられるでしょ う" and inputs the characters "う" and "め" by operating the keyboard 3.
In this case, as shown in fig. 5(B), on the preview screen 5B', each character of the undetermined character string that is undetermined as a character conversion is displayed in a state where the color of each character of the character string "う め" that is input is reversed from the position of the cursor 51 in the label image IM. At this time, the character string "abcdefabcdeff う め" in the tag image IM is scrolled so as not to overlap with the pop-up box 53' described later. Simultaneously with this, a pop-up box 53 'displaying the conversion candidate for the input character string "う め" is displayed on the right side of the preview screen image 5B'. Conversion candidates other than "plum", "udu" and "ウ メ" cannot be stored in the area of the pop-up box 53 and are displayed by scrolling.
In the display state of the preview screen 5B' shown in fig. 5(B), the operator operates the keyboard 3 or the like to input characters "あ", "わ", "せ", "ら", "れ", "る", "で", "し", "ょ", and "う".
In this case, as shown in fig. 5(c), on the preview screen 5B', the characters of the character string "あ わせられるでしょ う" that are input are displayed in a color-reversed state following the undetermined character string "う め" in the tag image IM as the characters of the undetermined character string. At this time, the character string "abcdefabcdeff う め あ わせられるでしょ う" in the tag image IM is scrolled so as not to overlap with the pop-up box 53' described later. Simultaneously with this, a pop-up box 53 'displaying the conversion candidate for the input character string "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" is displayed on the right side of the preview screen image 5B'. In addition, conversion candidates other than "buried め and わせられるでしょ う" (in which "しょ う" is not shown) "," う め あ わせられるでしょ う "(in which" しょ う "is not shown)", "ウメアワセラレルデショウ (in which" ショウ "is not shown)" cannot be accommodated in the area of the pop-up box 53 and are displayed by scrolling.
As described above, in the comparative example, since the unidentified character string is displayed in the tag image IM, for example, when the set character size is large (when the bandwidth is wide), the display character size of the unidentified character string is also large, and the number of display characters of the unidentified character string is small. Conversely, when the set character size is small (when the band width is narrow), the displayed character size of the undetermined character string also becomes small. As a result, it is difficult to visually recognize the undetermined character string. In the comparative example, in order to secure the display area of the pop-up box 53 ' for displaying the conversion candidate, the character string including the undetermined character string in the tag image IM is scrolled (in other words, the display area of the undetermined character string is reduced), and the pop-up box 53 ' is displayed on the right side in the preview screen 5B ', so that the number of characters displayed in the undetermined character string is further reduced, and the scrolling method becomes complicated. As described above, in the comparative example, the operator does not have a good visibility of the character input screen in the live preview mode. Further, the manner of scrolling becomes complicated.
< processing for displaying undetermined character string and conversion candidate in the present embodiment >
Next, the display processing of the unspecified character string and the conversion candidates in the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 6(a) to (d).
Fig. 6(a) shows a preview screen 5B on which a label image IM including a fixed character string "abcdefabcdefef" is displayed in the left-right direction in the same manner as the preview screen 5B' shown in fig. 5(a) described above, displayed in substantially the entire display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5 in the live preview mode.
In the display state of the preview screen image 5B shown in fig. 6(a), the operator operates the keyboard 3 to input characters "う" and "め" (corresponding to character input operations) as in the comparative example.
In this case, as shown in fig. 6B, in the preview screen image 5B, as the characters of the unspecified character string, the characters of the character string "う め" input are displayed in a state of being overlaid with the label image IM in a predetermined size and color reversed from the left end toward the right side at the front end (the lower end in fig. 6a to d when the preview screen image 5B is viewed from above, corresponding to the one end in the second direction and the predetermined portion) of the preview screen image 5B (display area 5A). Simultaneously with this, a pop-up box 53 (corresponding to a conversion candidate screen area) is displayed on the label image IM so as to be overlaid on the rear side of the undetermined character string "う め" (the upper side in fig. 6(a) to (d) of the preview screen image 5B viewed from above, corresponding to the other side in the second direction) on the preview screen image 5B (display area 5A), and a conversion candidate for the character string "う め" that has been input is displayed in the pop-up box 53 so as to be written from left to right. Conversion candidates other than "plum", "udu" and "ウ メ" cannot be stored in the area of the pop-up box 53 and are displayed by scrolling.
In the present embodiment, conversion candidates displayed in the pop-up box 53 are generated by a known "kana-kanji conversion" method. That is, when a character string is input, conversion candidates for the character string are generated using the vocabulary database (dictionary) for kana-kanji conversion stored in the EEPROM214, and displayed in the pop-up box 53. The conversion candidates displayed in the pop-up box 53 may be generated by a known "input predictive conversion" method or the like. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of conversion candidates simultaneously displayed in the pop-up box 53 is set to 3 (3 pieces of "mei", "yumu", and "ウ メ" in the case shown in fig. 5 (b)). The number of conversion candidates simultaneously displayed in the pop-up box 53 may be set to a number other than 3. Alternatively, the number of conversion candidates simultaneously displayed in the pop-up box 53 may be increased or decreased depending on the size of the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5. In the present embodiment, as described above, the displayed unspecified character string is set as an unconverted character string corresponding to the input character string ("う め" in the case shown in fig. 5 (b)). The displayed undetermined character string may be set as one conversion candidate to be selected in the pop-up box 53 (in the case shown in fig. 5b, "mei").
In the display state of the preview screen 5B shown in fig. 6(B), the operator inputs characters "あ", "わ", "せ", "ら", "れ", "る", "で", "し", "ょ", and "う" by operating the keyboard 3 or the like (corresponding to character input operations), as in the comparative example.
In this case, as shown in fig. 6(c), the character of the character string "あ わせられるでしょ う" that is input as an unidentified character string on the preview screen 5B is displayed in a state of being overlaid with a predetermined size and color reversed on the label image IM in substantially the entire region in the left-right direction of the front end portion on the preview screen 5B after the unidentified character string "う め". Further, "う め" at the head side of the undetermined character string "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" cannot be accommodated in the preview screen image 5B and is displayed by scrolling. Simultaneously with this, the pop-up box 53 is displayed on the rear side of the unidentified character string "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" on the preview screen 5B so as to be overlaid on the label image IM, and the conversion candidates for the input character string "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" are displayed in the pop-up box 53 so as to be written from left to right. Conversion candidates other than "buried め and わせられるでしょ う" (where "しょ う" on the end side is not shown) "," う め あ わせられるでしょ う "(where" しょ う "on the end side is not shown)", and "ウメアワセラレルデショウ" (where "ショウ" on the end side is not shown) "cannot be stored in the area of the pop-up box 53 and are displayed by scrolling.
In the present embodiment, when an unspecified character string cannot be stored in the preview screen 5B, the unspecified character string is scrolled so as to follow the character input operation. As a result, as described above, the top side of the undetermined character string ("う め" in "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" in fig. 5 (c)) is displayed by scrolling without being displayed. Further, in the case where the undetermined character string cannot be accommodated in the preview screen 5B, the display size of the undetermined character string may be reduced so as to be accommodated in the preview screen 5B. Alternatively, when the undecided character string cannot be stored in the preview screen 5B, the end side of the undecided character string may be displayed as a non-display and may be displayed by scrolling. In the present embodiment, as described above, when the conversion candidates are not accommodated in the area of the pop-up box 53, the end side of the conversion candidates (in the case of fig. 5(c), "しょ う" in "embedded め and わせられるでしょ う," しょ う "in" しょ う "and" う め あ わせられるでしょ う "and" ショウ "in" ウメアワセラレルデショウ ") is set as non-display. In addition, when the conversion candidates cannot be accommodated in the area of the pop-up box 53, the conversion candidates may be scrolled so as to follow the character input operation. Alternatively, when the conversion candidates cannot be accommodated in the area of the pop-up box 53, the display size of the conversion candidates may be reduced so as to be accommodated in the area of the pop-up box 53.
Assuming that the operator operates the keyboard 3 or the like in the display state of the preview screen 5B shown in fig. 6(c), the undetermined character string "う め あ わせられるでしょ う" is selectively determined as the conversion candidate "buried め and わせられるでしょ う" displayed in the pop-up box 53 (corresponding to the determination operation and the selection determination operation).
In this case, as shown in fig. 6(d), the preview screen 5B is switched to display of a tab image IM containing one of the conversion candidates "buried め and わせられるでしょ う" determined by the above selection as the determined character string, following the determined character string "abcdefabcdefef". Further, it is determined that a part of "abcdefabcdef embedded め and" わ "in the character strings" abcdefabcdef embedded め and わせられるでしょ う "cannot be accommodated in the screen and displayed by scrolling.
< control step >
Hereinafter, a process procedure executed by the CPU212 to realize the above method will be described with reference to fig. 7.
In fig. 7, the operation mode of the printing apparatus 1 is set to the live preview mode by the operator appropriately operating the keyboard 3, the function key group 4, and the like, for example, and the processing (the "start" position) of the flowchart is started.
First, in step S10, the CPU212 acquires the tape width of the cover film 103 of the cartridge 8 attached to the cartridge holder 9 based on the detection result of the cartridge sensor 6. That is, the cartridge sensor 6 detects the detection target portion 6A formed appropriately in the cartridge 8 or the like mounted on the cartridge holder 9 by a known method (for example, a contact method using a mechanical method, a noncontact method using a magnetic/optical method, or the like). The CPU212 acquires information on the type of the cartridge 8 mounted on the cartridge holder 9 based on the detection result of the cartridge sensor 6, and acquires the corresponding tape width.
Thereafter, in step S20, CPU212 outputs a display signal to liquid crystal display 5, and displays preview screen 5B displaying tab image IM corresponding to the tape width acquired in step S10 in the left-right direction in substantially the entire display area 5A.
Then, in step S30, CPU212 receives a character input operation by the operator via keyboard 3 or the like. Note that step S30 corresponds to the first operation receiving step described in each embodiment, and the CPU212 that executes step S30 functions as the first operation receiving means described in each embodiment.
Thereafter, in step S40, the CPU212 generates at least one conversion candidate for the character string corresponding to the character input operation in step S30, using the vocabulary database for kana-kanji conversion stored in the EEPROM 214. The step S40 corresponds to the conversion candidate generation step described in each embodiment, and the CPU212 executing the step S40 functions as the conversion candidate generation means described in each embodiment.
Then, in step S50, the CPU212 outputs a display signal to the liquid crystal display 5 so that the characters of the character string corresponding to the character input operation in step S30 are displayed in a state in which the front end portion of the preview screen 5B is reversed in color from the left end portion toward the right end portion in a predetermined size overlaid on the label image IM as the characters of the undetermined character string, and so that the pop-up box 53 for displaying the conversion candidates generated in step S40 in a manner of writing from left to right is displayed on the rear side of the undetermined character string in the preview screen 5B. The step S50 corresponds to the first display control step described in each claim, and the CPU212 that executes the step S50 functions as the first display control means described in each claim.
Thereafter, in step S60, the CPU212 determines whether or not an operator' S selection determination operation for the conversion candidates displayed in the pop-up box 53 via the keyboard 3 or the like is accepted. If the selection determination operation is not accepted, the determination of step S60 is not satisfied (S60: no), the process returns to step S30, and the same procedure is repeated. This enables the character input operation to be performed during a period before the selection determination operation is performed by the operator. When the selection determination operation is accepted, the determination of step S60 is satisfied (S60: YES), and the process proceeds to step S70. Note that step S60 corresponds to the second operation receiving step described in each embodiment, and the CPU212 that executes step S60 functions as the second operation receiving means described in each embodiment.
In step S70, the CPU212 outputs a display signal to the liquid crystal display 5 to switch the display of the tab image IM on the preview screen 5B to the display of the tab image IM including one conversion candidate (character string) corresponding to the selection determination operation in step S60 as the determination character string. The step S70 corresponds to the display control step described in each claim, and the CPU212 that executes the step S70 functions as the second display control means described in each claim.
Then, in step S80, the CPU212 determines whether the print key 4C is pressed. If the print key 4C is not pressed, the determination of step S80 is not satisfied (S80: no), the process returns to step S30, and the same procedure is repeated. This enables the above-described character input operation to be performed until the operator presses the print key 4C. When the print key 4C is pressed, the determination of step S80 is satisfied (S80: yes), and the process proceeds to step S90.
In step S90, CPU212 generates print data for energizing the heat generating elements of thermal head 23 to execute print formation corresponding to the label image IM on preview screen image 5B displayed in display area 5A of liquid crystal display 5 at that point in time.
Thereafter, in step S100, the CPU212 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 216, and starts driving of the tape transport roller drive shaft 108 and the ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 107 by driving the motor 211. Thereby, the transfer of the cover film 103, the base tape 101, and the tape 109 for printed labels (hereinafter, appropriately referred to simply as "cover film 103 and the like") is started.
Then, in step S110, the CPU212 determines whether or not the cover film 103 or the like conveyed in the above-described manner has been conveyed to the start position of the predetermined print region (in other words, whether or not the cover film 103 or the like has been conveyed to the conveyance direction position of the thermal head 23 facing the front end of the print region) based on the print data generated in the above-described step S90. This determination may be performed by a known appropriate method such as counting the number of pulses of the drive motor 211 including a stepping motor. If the cover film 103 or the like is not conveyed to the start position of the print area, the determination of step S110 is not satisfied (S110: "NO"), and a circulation standby is performed. If the cover film 103 or the like has been conveyed to the start position of the print area, the determination of step S110 is satisfied (S110: YES), and the process proceeds to step S120.
In step S120, the CPU212 performs printing processing for energizing the heating elements of the thermal head 23 based on the printing data generated in step S90. As a result, the ink of the ink ribbon 105 is transferred onto the cover film 103 by the energized heating element, and a print corresponding to the print data is formed.
Thereafter, in step S130, the CPU212 determines whether the cover film 103 or the like conveyed in the above-described manner has been conveyed to the end position of the print region (in other words, whether the cover film 103 or the like has been conveyed to the conveyance direction position at which the thermal head 23 is facing the rear end of the print region). This determination may be performed by the same known method as described above. If the cover film 103 or the like is not conveyed to the end position of the print area, the determination of step S130 is not satisfied (S130: "NO"), the process returns to step S120, and the same procedure is repeated. If the cover film 103 or the like has been conveyed to the end position of the print area, the determination of step S130 is satisfied (S130: "YES"), and the process proceeds to step S140.
In step S140, the CPU212 determines, based on the print data generated in step S90, whether or not the cover film 103 or the like that has been conveyed to a predetermined cutting position that is set on the label rear end side of the print area based on the print data (i.e., whether or not the printed label tape 109 has been conveyed to a conveyance direction position at which the movable blade 41 faces the cutting position). This determination may be performed by the same known method as described above. If the cover film 103 or the like is not conveyed to the cutting position, the determination of step S140 is not satisfied (S140: NO), and a circulation standby is performed. If the cover film 103 or the like has been conveyed to the cutting position, the determination of step S140 is satisfied (S140: YES), and the process proceeds to step S150.
In step S150, the CPU212 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 216 to stop the driving of the tape conveying roller drive shaft 108 and the ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 107 by the drive motor 211. Thereby, the conveyance of the cover film 103 and the like is stopped.
Then, in step S160, the CPU212 outputs a display signal to the liquid crystal display 5. Accordingly, an appropriate display urging the operator is displayed in the display area 5A so that the operator operates the cutter bar 7 to operate the movable blade 41 to cut the printed label tape 109. The operator operates the cutter bar 7 in accordance with the display to cut the printed label tape 109, thereby generating a printed label. As described above, the processing of the flowchart ends.
< effects of the present embodiment >
As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation mode is the live preview mode, and if the operator inputs characters via the keyboard 3 or the like when displaying the tag image IM, the characters of the undetermined character string by the character input operation are displayed in a predetermined size in the left-right direction at a predetermined portion (the front end portion in the above example) in the display area 5A. Then, if the operator determines the above-described undetermined character string via the keyboard 3 or the like, a tag image IM containing one character string corresponding to the determination operation as a determined character string is displayed (display of the tag image IM is switched).
As described above, in the present embodiment, when inputting a character in the live preview mode, an unspecified character string can be efficiently displayed in a character of a size that is easy to be visually recognized by the operator at a position where the operator can easily visually recognize. As a result, the operator can improve visibility of the character input screen in the live preview mode.
In the present embodiment, in particular, when the characters of the unidentified character string are displayed on the front end portion of the display area 5A, a pop-up box 53 that displays the conversion candidates in the left-right direction is displayed on the rear side of the unidentified character string in the display area 5A. Accordingly, the display areas of the unidentified character string and the conversion candidate can be secured to be wider in the left-right direction, and therefore, a large number of characters can be displayed in a size that is easily visible to the operator for the unidentified character and the conversion candidate. In addition, the scrolling of the undetermined character in the left-right direction can be omitted. Therefore, the operator can more easily view the character input screen in the live preview mode.
In the present embodiment, in particular, while each character of the undetermined character string is displayed so as to be overlaid on the tag image IM at the front end portion of the display area 5A, the pop-up box 53 is displayed so as to be overlaid on the tag image IM on the rear side of the undetermined character string in the display area 5A. This makes it possible to realize the printing apparatus 1 in which the visibility of the operator to the character input screen in the live preview mode is improved.
In the present embodiment, in particular, each character of the unidentified character string is displayed from the left end toward the right side at the front end of the display area 5A. This makes it possible to reliably secure a display area for an unspecified character string so as to be wide in the left-right direction, and to reliably display a large number of characters in a size that can be easily recognized by an operator for the unspecified character string. Therefore, the operator can surely improve the visibility of the character input screen in the live preview mode.
< modification example et al >
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Hereinafter, such a modification will be described.
(1) Magnification adjustment and display in such a manner that a character string is not determined to be of a predetermined size
In the above embodiment, the case where each character of the unidentified character string is displayed on the tag image IM so as to be overlaid with a predetermined size in the left-right direction on the front end portion of the preview screen image 5B has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the tag image IM including the undetermined character string may be resized and displayed so that the undetermined character string is displayed in a predetermined size in the left-right direction at the front end portion in the preview screen 5B.
Next, the display processing of the undetermined character string and the conversion candidate in the present modification will be described with reference to fig. 8(a) and (b) and fig. 9(a) and (b).
Fig. 8(a) shows a preview screen 5B displayed in the substantially entire area of the display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5 in the live preview mode, and displaying a tag image IM corresponding to a relatively large tape width including the determination character string "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOQRSTUVWXYZ" in the left-right direction. Further, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOQRST" at the head side in the specified character string "abcdefghijklmnoqrstwxyz" cannot be accommodated in the preview screen 5B and is displayed by scrolling. In addition, even if the tape width is not relatively large, the display mode is the same as the above when the predetermined magnification ratio is relatively large.
It is assumed that the operator inputs the characters "う" and "め" by operating the keyboard 3 in the display state of the preview screen 5B shown in fig. 8 (a).
In this case, as shown in fig. 8(B), on the preview screen image 5B, the input characters of the character string "う め" are displayed in a color-reversed state from the position of the cursor 51 in the label image IM as the characters of the undetermined character string. At this time, the tag image IM including the fixed character string and the undetermined character string "う め" is automatically resized (reduced in this example) and displayed so that the characters of the undetermined character string "う め" are displayed in a predetermined size at the front end portion of the preview screen 5B. Simultaneously with this, a pop-up box 53 for displaying the conversion candidate for the input character string "う め" in a writing manner from left to right is displayed on the rear side of the undetermined character string "う め" on the preview screen image 5B (in this example, without being overlaid on the reduced label image IM).
On the other hand, fig. 9(a) shows a preview screen 5B displayed in substantially the entire display area 5A of the liquid crystal display 5 in the live preview mode, and displaying a tag image IM corresponding to a relatively small tape width including the fixed character string "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOQRSTUVWXYZ" of the same content in the 1 st to 3 rd rows in the left-right direction. Further, a part of "ABC" at the head side of the fixed character string "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOQRSTUVWXYZ" of each line cannot be accommodated in preview screen 5B and is displayed by scrolling. Even if the tape width is not relatively small, the same display mode as described above is used when the designated magnification is relatively small or when the designated number of lines is large.
In the display state of the preview screen 5B shown in fig. 9(a), the operator operates the keyboard 3 to input the characters "う" and "め" as in the case of fig. 8.
In this case, as shown in fig. 9(B), on the preview screen image 5B, the input characters of the character string "う め" are displayed in a color-reversed state from the position of the cursor 51 in the label image IM as the characters of the undetermined character string. At this time, the tag image IM including the fixed character string and the undetermined character string "う め" is automatically resized (enlarged in this example) and displayed so that the characters of the undetermined character string "う め" are displayed in a predetermined size at the front end portion on the preview screen 5B. Simultaneously with this, a pop-up box 53 for displaying a conversion candidate for the input character string "う め" in a manner of writing from left to right is displayed on the enlarged label image IM so as to be overlaid on the rear side of the undetermined character string "う め" on the preview screen image 5B.
In the present modification described above, the tag image IM including the undetermined character string is resized and displayed so that the characters of the undetermined character string are displayed in a predetermined size in the left-right direction at the front end portion in the display area 5A, and the pop-up box 53 is displayed on the rear side of the undetermined character string in the display area 5A. This can provide the same effects as those of the above embodiment.
(2) Case where undetermined character string is displayed on the rear side end and pop-up box is displayed on the front side thereof
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the characters of the unspecified character string are displayed on the front side end portion of the preview screen image 5B and the pop-up box 53 is displayed on the rear side of the unspecified character string in the preview screen image 5B has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the characters of the unidentified character string may be displayed on the rear end portion of the preview screen 5B (the upper end portion in fig. 6(a) to (d) of the preview screen 5B as viewed from above, and in the present modification, the characters correspond to the one end portion in the second direction and the predetermined portion), and the pop-up box 53 may be displayed on the front side of the unidentified character string in the preview screen 5B (the lower side in fig. 6(a) to (d) of the preview screen 5B as viewed from above, and in the present modification, the characters correspond to the other side in the second direction). The same effect is obtained in this case as well.
(3) Others
In the above-described embodiment, the type of the mounted cartridge 8 is detected by the cartridge sensor 6, and the CPU212 acquires the tape width of the cover film 103 in the cartridge 8 in accordance with the detection. That is, the operator may manually input the tape width via the keyboard 3, the function key group 4, or the like, and the CPU212 may acquire and use the input result. The same effect is obtained in this case as well.
In the above description, when there are descriptions such as "vertical", "parallel", and "planar", the description does not mean a strict meaning. That is, the terms "perpendicular", "parallel", "planar", and the like mean that design and manufacturing tolerances and errors are allowed, and mean "substantially perpendicular", "substantially parallel", "substantially planar", and the like.
In the above description, when there are descriptions that the apparent dimensions and sizes are "the same", "equal", or "different", the descriptions do not mean strict meanings. That is, the terms "same", "equal", "different", and the like mean that design and manufacturing tolerances and errors are allowed, and mean "substantially the same", "substantially equal", "substantially different", and the like. However, when there are descriptions of values as predetermined judgment criteria or values as division points, for example, a threshold value, a reference value, and the like, the "same", "equal", "different", and the like for these values are different from the above descriptions, and have strict meanings.
In the above description, the arrows shown in fig. 4 indicate an example of the flow of the signal, and do not limit the direction of the flow of the signal.
The flowchart shown in fig. 7 does not limit the present invention to the steps shown in the drawings, and steps may be added, deleted, or changed in order without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In addition to the above-described embodiments, the methods of the above-described embodiments and modifications may be appropriately combined and used.
In addition, although not illustrated, the present invention can be implemented by being variously modified within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
