Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for creating a form, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for creating a form so that it can be used as a transfer sheet for various charges or a transfer sheet for rental housing rent. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art This type of form is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, at least one (two in the illustrated case) cover form A (A1, A2) and a cover form A below the form A. Multiple (n) slip forms B (B1, B2 ... Bn) that have been combined by
Composed of and. The form has contents according to the destination for each form, and in general, the cover form A includes the title of the form and the contents of the cover such as the destination, the issuer, the issue date, and the notes. C is described in a predetermined cover frame D. on the other hand,
In the slip form B, a predetermined slip frame F describes slip contents E that are required each time such as the payment amount, the purpose of payment, the payment deadline, etc. according to the other party.

When creating such a form, a continuous paper in which a required number of cover frames and a required number of slip frames are sequentially and repeatedly printed is prepared, and the cover contents and slips corresponding to the recipients are provided in the cover frames and slip frames. The form was created by printing the contents, separating each cover frame and each slip frame to create a set of cover form and slip form, and sequentially superimposing and connecting them. However, in order to repeatedly print the required number of cover frames and the required number of slip frames on the continuous paper, various restrictions and waste cannot be avoided due to the relationship with the plate cylinder size.

For example, when the height of the cover sheet and the slip sheet (length in the lengthwise direction of continuous paper) is 110 mm,
With a 13-inch roller, which is a standard plate cylinder, 3 sheets per rotation 2
A 6-in roller can print only 6 sheets. Therefore, in the case of a set of three sheets or one set of six sheets, it can be used as it is. However, in order to create a set of forms that deviates from them, for example, a form with two cover forms and five form forms, prepare a plate cylinder of a size that matches the number of forms, or correspond to form forms. The time when the required number of slip frames are printed is treated as one set, and the part of the cover frame that becomes an excess cover form (including the part of the form frame that becomes the slip form in some cases) between them is removed. There was no plan. Replacing the plate cylinders according to the number of sheets that make up the form is not only complicated, but it is uneconomical and costly to produce the form cylinders because it is necessary to prepare plate cylinders that match various numbers of sheets. Has been a factor in raising. In addition, the means for removing unnecessary portions not only wastes paper but also inevitably raises the manufacturing cost, and it is necessary to accurately control which position the front cover frame or the slip frame part is removed. It is almost impossible to do in terms of cost, and in the present situation, manual work was forced to occur, which was a cause of human error.
