  The RAM 113 is provided with a text buffer 124 for storing input data such as characters as text, a print data buffer 125 for storing print dot pattern data, a shift register 126, and various other counters and registers. In addition, the RAM 113 is provided with a horizontal break block counter 127 and a line number counter 128 that are required when performing a line arrangement process described later, and further, an X for each line calculated during the line arrangement process described later. A coordinate table is provided in which data of coordinates, Y coordinates, line length, and line height are entered.

  The print CG-ROM 114 stores dot pattern data of a large number of characters to be printed in association with code data, and the display CG-ROM 115 displays a large number of characters to be printed. Dot pattern data is stored in association with code data.

  Here, when a desired character string is heated and punched in the stamping surface portion 30 of the stamp unit 1 to obtain a stamp unit 1 usable as a stamp, the keyboard 52 of the thermal printing apparatus 50 sends a desired character to the control unit 110. When the character string is input, the control unit 110 creates and stores dot pattern data for printing the mirror character of the desired character string. Thereafter, in a state where the stamp unit 1 is set in the printing mounting portion 71, the control surface 110 and the heat printing mechanism 72 are used to heat and punch the stamp surface portion 30. In this way, after the character string or the like is heated and perforated in the stamping portion 30, the ink of the impregnated body 27 oozes out from the perforation of the character string or the like. Therefore, as in the case of a normal rubber stamp, the character is repeated many times. Columns etc. can be printed.

  Subsequently, in the stamp device configured as described above, text such as characters input and created from the keyboard 52 is arranged on the basis of line feed data, horizontal break block data, and vertical break block data. The row arrangement process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 to FIG. 18 are flowcharts of the row arrangement processing program. At this time, it is assumed that the text buffer 124 stores text including already created data (character data), line feed data, horizontal break block data, and vertical break block data. In this line arrangement process, the layout display command key for instructing the display 53 to display the input text arrangement in the function keys and the print image of the input text are reduced to the display 53. This is executed when the image display command key for commanding display and the print command switch 66 is operated. Further, immediately before the execution of the line arrangement process, the horizontal block counter 127, the line number counter 128, and the coordinate table are cleared as pre-processing.

  First, a process for obtaining the X coordinate of each line in the text will be described with reference to FIG. In the line arrangement process, first, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, text data in the text is read from the text buffer 124, and whether or not the read text code (data) is an edit code. Is determined (S2). The edit code includes line feed data, horizontal break block data, and vertical break block data.

  If it is an edit code (S2: YES), the process proceeds to S3. If it is not an edit code (S2: NO), it is determined in S4 whether it is the end data of the text (end code of the text). If it is the end code of the text (S4: YES), the process proceeds to S3. If it is not the end code of the text (S4: NO), the process returns to S1.

  In S <b> 3, 0 is entered in the coordinate table provided in the RAM 113 as the row start X coordinate data of the row read out in the above process. This point will be specifically described later. In subsequent S5, it is determined whether or not the X coordinate data for all the lines in the text has been acquired. If all the X coordinate data has not been acquired (S5: NO), the horizontal break block data is determined in S6. It is judged whether or not. If it is horizontal break block data (S6: YES), the process proceeds to S8. If it is not horizontal break block data (S6: NO), it is determined in S7 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S7: YES), the process proceeds to S8, whereas if it is not the end code (S7: NO), the process returns to S1. When all the X coordinate data are acquired in S5 (S5: YES), the process proceeds to S17 described later.

  In S8, the text data is read out in succession to the text data reading operation in S1. In S9, as in S2, it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code. If it is an edit code (S9: YES), it is determined in S11 whether it is horizontal break block data. If it is not an edit code (S9: NO), it is determined in S10 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code (S10: YES), the process proceeds to S14, but it is not the end code. In (S10: NO), the process returns to S8.

  If it is determined in S11 that the data is the horizontal break block data (S11: YES), the horizontal break block counter 127 is incremented by 1 in the subsequent S13, and then the process returns to S8. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not horizontal break block data (S11: NO), it is determined in S12 whether it is vertical break block data. If it is vertically modified block data (S12: YES), the process proceeds to S14, whereas if it is not vertically modified block data (S12: NO), the process returns to S8.

  In S14, the horizontal length in the size of the stamping surface portion 30 in the stamp unit 1 (the stamping surface size has a rectangular shape and has a predetermined horizontal length and vertical length) adds 2 to the count number of the horizontal break block counter 127. Divided by the number. In S15, the value calculated in S14 is entered in the coordinate table as the X coordinate of the target row during the processing after S8. In S16, it is determined whether or not the X coordinates for all the lines of the text have been acquired. If the X coordinates of all the lines have been acquired (S16: YES), the process proceeds to S17, while the X coordinates are changed. If not acquired (S16: NO), the process returns to S1.

  Next, processing for obtaining the line length of each line in the text will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 14, in S17, as in S1, the text data in the text is read from the text buffer 124, and it is determined whether the read text data is an edit code (S18). If it is an edit code (S18: YES), it is determined in S20 whether it is horizontal break block data. If it is horizontal break block data (S20: YES), the horizontal break block counter 127 is incremented by 1 (S22), and the process returns to S17.

  If it is determined in S18 that it is not an edit code (S18: NO), it is determined in S19 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S19: YES), the process proceeds to S23. If it is not the tail code (S19: NO), the process returns to S17. If it is determined in S20 that the data is not horizontal break block data (S20: NO), it is determined in S21 whether the data is vertical break block data. If it is vertical break block data (S21: YES), the process proceeds to S23, whereas if it is not vertical break block data (S21: NO), the process returns to S17.

  In S23, the horizontal length of the stamp face size of the stamp unit 1 is divided by the number obtained by adding 1 to the count number of the horizontal break block counter 127, and the obtained value corresponds to the row searched by each of the above processes. After entering the coordinate table of the RAM 113 (S24), the horizontal break block counter 127 is reset to 0 (S24A). In S25, it is determined whether or not the calculation of the line lengths for all the lines has been completed. If completed (S25: YES), the process proceeds to S26. If not completed (S25: NO), the process proceeds to S17. Returning, the line length is calculated for the remaining lines.

  Next, processing for obtaining the line height of each line in the text will be described with reference to FIG. First, in S26, as in S1 and S17, text data is read from the text buffer 124, and it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code (S27). If it is an edit code (S27: YES), after the row number counter 128 is incremented by 1 in S29, it is determined whether it is horizontal break block data in S30 or not (S30: YES). On the other hand, the process proceeds to S32, but if it is not horizontal break block data (S30: NO), it is determined in S31 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S31: YES), the process proceeds to S36. If it is not the end code of the text (S31: NO), the process returns to S26.

  If it is determined in S27 that the code is not an edit code (S27: NO), it is determined in S28 whether the code is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S28: YES), the process proceeds to S29. If it is not the end code of the text (S28: NO), the process returns to S26.

  When it is determined in S30 that the data is the horizontal break block data (S30: YES), the reading operation is resumed from the text data next to the text data read in S26. Text data is read from the text buffer 124, and it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code (S33). If it is not an edit code (S33: NO), it is determined in S34 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S34: YES), the process proceeds to S36, but if it is not the end code (S34: NO). ) Returns to S32. If it is determined in S33 that the code is an edit code (S33: YES), it is determined whether or not the data is vertical break block data (S35). If it is vertical break block data (S35: YES), the process returns to S26 again. If it is not vertical break block data (S35: NO), the process returns to S32.

  In S36, the vertical length of the stamp face size of the stamp unit 1 is divided by the count number of the line number counter 128, and the obtained value is entered in the coordinate table of the RAM 113 corresponding to the line counted up in the above process. (S37). Thereafter, in S38, it is determined whether or not the calculation of the line height has been completed for all lines of the text. If completed (S38: YES), the process proceeds to S57 described later, and if not completed ( In S38: NO), the process proceeds to the next S39.

  Processing for obtaining the line height performed following each processing shown in FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 16, in S39, the horizontal break block data immediately before the line for which the end line height is not set by the processes of S26 to S38 is searched. In S40, the text data is read from the text buffer 124 in the reverse direction (the head direction of the text) based on the searched horizontal break block data. In S41, it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code. If it is an edit code (S41: YES), after the total value of the line heights obtained through the above processing and stored in the coordinate table is obtained (S43), the edit code is vertically revised in S44. It is determined whether it is block data. If it is longitudinal block data (S44: YES), the process proceeds to S46. If it is not vertical break block data (S44: NO), it is determined whether it is the top data of the text (S45). If it is the top data of the text (S45: YES), the process proceeds to S46, but is not the top data of the text. In the case (S45: NO), the process returns to S40.

  If it is determined in S41 that the code is not an edit code (S41: NO), it is determined whether it is the top data of the text (S42). If it is the top data of the text (S42: YES), the process proceeds to S43. On the other hand, if it is not the head data of the text (S42: NO), the process returns to S40.

  In S46, as in S39, the horizontal break block data immediately before the line for which the end line height is not set is searched according to each process. In subsequent S47, the text data is read from the text buffer 124 in the forward direction (the end direction of the text) based on the searched horizontal break block data. In S48, it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code. If it is an edit code (S48: YES), after the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S50), it is determined in S51 whether the edit code is longitudinal block data. If it is longitudinal block data (S51: YES), the process proceeds to S53. If it is not vertical block data (S51: NO), it is determined whether it is the end data of the text (S52). If it is the end data of the text (S52: YES), the process proceeds to S53, but is not the end data of the text. In the case (S52: NO), the process returns to S47.

  If it is determined in S48 that the code is not an edit code (S48: NO), it is determined whether it is the end data of the text (S49). If it is the end data of the text (S49: YES), the process proceeds to S50. On the other hand, if it is not the end data of the text (S49: NO), the process returns to S47.

  In S53, the total value of the line heights obtained in S43 is divided by the count value of the line number counter 128. Thereafter, in S54, the number of lines counted up by the process is counted. It is put in the coordinate table corresponding to the line height. In S56, it is determined whether or not the line height has been obtained for all lines of the text. If it has already been obtained (S56: YES), the process proceeds to S57, but if not yet obtained (S56: NO). ), The process returns to S39 again to determine the remaining line height.

  Next, processing for obtaining the Y coordinate of each line in the text will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 17, in S57, the text data is read from the text buffer 124 as in S1 and the like, and it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code (S58). If it is an edit code (S58: YES), after the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 in S60, the line height of each line obtained through the above process and stored in the coordinate table is stored in S61. Then, a value obtained by multiplying the count value of the line number counter 128 by 1 (the count value of the line number counter-1) is entered into the coordinate table as the Y coordinate value of the line. Thereafter, in S62, it is determined whether or not the edit code is horizontal break block data. If the edit code is horizontal break block data (S62: YES), the process proceeds to S64, but if it is not horizontal break block data (S62 NO). In S63, it is determined whether the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S63: YES), the process proceeds to S68. If it is not the end code of the text (S63: NO), the process returns to S57.

  If it is determined in S58 that the code is not an edit code (S58: NO), it is determined in S59 whether the code is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S59: YES), the process proceeds to S60, whereas if it is not the end code of the text (S59: NO), the process returns to S57.

  When it is determined in S62 that the data is the horizontal break block data (S62: YES), in S64, the reading operation is resumed from the text data next to the text data read in S57. The text data is read from the text buffer 124, and it is determined whether the read text data is an edit code (S65). If it is not an edit code (S65: NO), it is determined in S67 whether it is the end code of the text. If it is the end code of the text (S67: YES), the process proceeds to S68, but if it is not the end code (S67: NO). ) Returns to S64. If it is determined in S65 that the code is an edit code (S65: YES), it is determined whether the data is vertical break block data (S66). If it is vertical block data (S66: YES), the process returns to S57 again. If it is not vertical block data (S66: NO), the process returns to S64. In S68, it is determined whether or not the calculation of the Y coordinate has been completed for all the lines in the text. If it has been completed (S68: YES), the process is terminated, and if it has not been completed (S68: NO). After the row number counter 128 is reset to 0 in S68A, the process proceeds to S69.

  Processing for obtaining the Y coordinate of each row performed following each processing shown in FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 18, in S69, the horizontal break block data immediately before the line for which the Y coordinate is not set is searched by the processes in S57 to S68. In S70, the text data is read from the text buffer 124 in the reverse direction (the head direction of the text) based on the searched horizontal break block data. In S71, it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code. If it is an edit code (S71: YES), it is determined whether or not the data is longitudinal block data (S72). If it is vertical break block data (S72: YES), the process proceeds to S74. If it is not vertical break block data (S72: NO), the process returns to S70. If it is determined in S71 that the code is not an edit code (S71: NO), it is determined whether or not it is the top data of the text (S73). If it is the top data of the text (S73: YES), the process proceeds to S74. On the other hand, if it is not the head data of the text (S73: NO), the process returns to S70.

  In S74, the Y coordinate of the location determined as the vertical break block data in S72 or the Y coordinate of the location determined as the head data of the text in S73 is stored in the coordinate table of the RAM 113. Subsequently, in S75, the horizontal break block data immediately before the line in which the Y coordinate is not set is searched by the above processes. In S76, the text data is read from the text buffer 124 in the forward direction (the end direction of the text) based on the searched horizontal break block data. In S77, it is determined whether or not the read text data is an edit code. If it is an edit code (S77: YES), the row number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S78). If it is not an edit code (S77: NO), it is determined whether it is the end data of the text (S79). If it is the end code of the text (S79: YES), the process proceeds to S78, but not the end code of the text. In the case (S79: NO), the process returns to S76.

  After S78, it is determined whether the count value of the row number counter 128 is 1 in S80. If the count value of the line number counter 128 is 1 (S80: YES), the Y coordinate stored in S74 is copied in S81 and the Y coordinate is stored in the coordinate table, and then the process proceeds to S83. On the other hand, if the count value of the line number counter 128 is not 1 (S80: NO), the value obtained by adding the Y coordinate of the previous line and the line height in S82 is entered in the coordinate table as the Y coordinate of the current line. Then, the process proceeds to S83.

  In S83, it is determined whether or not the edit code determined in S77 is vertical break block data. If the edit code is vertical break block data (S83: YES), the process proceeds to S85, but if it is not vertical break block data (S83). : NO), it is determined whether or not it is the end data of the text (S84). If it is not the end data (S84: NO), the process returns to S76. On the other hand, in the case of tail data (S84: YES), the process proceeds to S85. Further, in S85, it is determined whether or not the calculation of the Y coordinate has been completed for all the lines of the text. When the calculation is completed (S85: YES), the process is terminated, and when the calculation has not been completed (S85: If NO, the process returns to S69 and the process is performed.

  When YES is determined in S68 and S85 and the row arrangement process is completed, a process corresponding to the operated key or switch is performed. That is, when the layout display command key is operated, a layout display in which the layout position for each character is displayed as a rectangular mark based on the coordinate table created in the line layout process is performed on the display 53. Further, when the image display command key is operated, the input text is stored in the stamp unit 1 based on the coordinate table created by the line arrangement process and the dot pattern data stored in the printing CG-ROM. Dot pattern data for perforating the stamp surface 30 is created, and the dot pattern is reduced and displayed on the display 53 for image display. When the print command switch 66 is operated, the input text is transferred to the stamp unit 1 based on the coordinate table created by the line arrangement process and the dot pattern data stored in the print CG-ROM. A dot pattern for punching in the marking surface portion 30 is created, and the thermal printing mechanism 72 is driven based on the dot pattern data, and the marking surface portion 30 is punched.

  Here, in order to facilitate understanding of the row arrangement processing performed in accordance with the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 to 18, the following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 19 to 26 based on specific examples.

  First, a first specific example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 19 is an explanatory view schematically showing the contents of the text stored in the text buffer 124 in the first specific example, and FIG. 20 is an arrangement state in which each line and block are arranged based on the contents of the text buffer in FIG. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing the X coordinate, Y coordinate, row length, and row height stored in the coordinate table, and FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a print sample of the first specific example. is there. In FIG. 20, as an example, the maximum row length (horizontal length of the stamp face size) is set to 128, and the maximum row height (vertical length of the stamp face size) is set to 64.

  First, in FIG. 19, a text 130 made up of six lines of characters and the like is created and stored in the text buffer 124. After line 1, vertical break block data 131, and after lines 2 and 3, a line feed is generated. The horizontal break block data 133 is inserted after the data 132 and the line 4, and the line feed data 132 is inserted after the line 5. When such text 130 is arranged based on the respective vertical break block data 131, line feed data 132, and horizontal break block data 133, lines 1 to 6 are arranged as shown in FIG.

  The arrangement operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 to 18. First, characters and the like are read for the row 1 up to the vertical break block data 131 (S1, S2: YES, S4). Thereafter, the X coordinate data for row 1 is stored as “0” in the coordinate table of the RAM 113 (S3). Similarly, the X coordinate data is stored in the coordinate table as “0” based on the two line feed data 132 and the one horizontal break block data 133 for line 2, line 3 and line 4 (S5: NO, S6). : NO, S7: NO, S1, S2: YES, S3). Since the horizontal break block data 133 exists after the line 4 (S6: YES), the text data of the line 5 is subsequently read (S8), and based on the line feed data 132 after the line 5 (S9). : YES, S11: NO, S12: NO, S8) The text data of line 6 is read. Since there is no edit code after line 6 and there is a text end code at the end of line 6 (S9: NO, S10: YES), the stamp size 128 is counted by the horizontal break block counter 127. Divided by the value (0 at this point) plus 2 (0 + 2 = 2). That is, a value of 128/2 = 64 is stored in the coordinate table as the X coordinate data of rows 5 and 6. As a result of the above processing, “0” is obtained as the X coordinate for the rows 1, 2, 3, and 4, and “64” is obtained as the X coordinate for the rows 5 and 6. This state is shown in the coordinate table of FIG.

  Next, with regard to the line lengths of line 1 to line 6, first, text data is read for line 1 (S17, S18: NO, S19: NO). Since 131 exists (S20: NO, S21: YES), the horizontal length 128 of the stamp size is a value obtained by adding 1 to the count value (0 at this time) of the horizontal break block counter 127 (0 + 1 = 1). Cracked. That is, a value of 128/1 = 128 is stored in the coordinate table as the row length of row 1 (S23, S24). Thereafter, the text data is read out for the lines 2, 3, and 4 (S24A, S25: NO, S17, S18: YES, S20: NO, S21: NO). Since the horizontal break block data 133 exists after line 4 (S20: YES), the horizontal break block counter 127 is incremented by 1 (S22), and line 5 (S17, S18: YES, S20: The text data of NO, S21: NO) and line 6 (S18: NO, S19: YES) are read. Thereafter, the horizontal length 128 of the stamp size is divided by a value (1 + 1 = 2) obtained by adding 1 to the count value (1 at this time) of the horizontal break block 127. That is, a value of 128/2 = 64 is stored in the coordinate table as the row length of each row 2, row 3, row 4, row 5, and row 6 (S23, S24). Next, the horizontal break block counter 127 is reset to 0 (S24A), and the calculation of the line length for each of the lines 1 to 6 is completed (S25: YES). As a result, the row length of row 1 is 128, and the row lengths of rows 2 to 6 are 64. This state is shown in the coordinate table of FIG.

  Subsequently, the row height is obtained for each of the rows 1 to 6. First, text data is read for row 1 (S26, S27: NO, S28: NO), and based on the vertical block data 131 of row 1 (S27: YES), the row number counter 128 is incremented by 1. (S29). Subsequently, similarly, the text data of line 2 is read (S30: NO, S31: NO, S26, S27: NO, S28: NO), and the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S29). Similar processing is performed for row 3 and row 4. At this time, the count value in the row number counter 128 becomes 4. Then, based on the horizontal break block data 133 after the line 4 (S30: YES), the text data of the line 5 and the line 6 are read (S32, S33: NO, S34: NO). Since the end code of the text 130 exists at the end of the line 6 (S34: YES), the vertical length 64 of the stamp size is divided by the count value 4 of the line number counter 128. That is, a value of 64/4 = 16 is stored in the coordinate table as the row height of the rows 1 to 4 counted up (S36, S37).

  The row heights of row 1 to row 4 have been obtained by the processing so far, but the row heights of row 5 and row 6 have not yet been obtained (S38: NO). And the process for determining the line height of line 6 is continued. First, the horizontal break block data 133 immediately before the line 5 in which the line height is not set is searched (S39), and the text data is read back in the head direction of the text 130 (S40, S41: NO, S42). : NO). When the presence of the line feed data 132 of line 3 is confirmed (S41: YES), the line height 16 of line 4 and the line height 16 of line 3 are summed (S43). At this point, the total row height is 32. The same processing is performed for line 3 until the line feed data 132 of line 2 is confirmed (S44: NO, S45: NO, S40, S41: NO, S42: NO). When the presence is confirmed (S41: YES), the line height 16 of the line 2 is added to the total value (32) of the line heights and totaled (S43). The total row height at this point is 48. If the presence of the vertical break block data 131 after line 1 is confirmed (S44: YES), the horizontal break block data 133 immediately before line 5 in which the line height is not set is searched (S46). ), The text data is read in the direction of the end of the text 130 (S47, S48: NO, S49: NO). When the presence of the line feed data 132 of line 5 is confirmed (S48: YES), the line number counter 128 is incremented by one. At this time, the count value of the row number counter 128 becomes 1. The same process is performed for line 6 (S51: NO, S52: NO, S47, S48: NO), and if the presence of the end code of the text 130 at the end of line 6 is confirmed (S49: YES), The line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S50). At this time, the count value of the row number counter 128 is 2. Further, the total value (48) of the row heights obtained above is divided by the count value 2 of the row number counter 128 (S51: NO, S52: YES, S53). That is, the value 48/2 = 24 is stored in the coordinate table as the row heights of the row 5 and the row 6 in which the number of rows is counted up (S54). Thus, the row height is 16 for the rows 1 to 4, and the row height is 24 for the rows 5 and 6. This state is shown in the coordinate table of FIG. Since the calculation of the row height is completed for each of the rows 1 to 6 (S56: YES), the Y coordinate data is subsequently obtained for each row.

  Next, a case where Y coordinate data is obtained for each of rows 1 to 6 will be described. First, text data is read for line 1 (S57, S58: NO, S59: NO), and based on the vertical break block data 131 after line 1 (S58: YES), the line number counter 128 is only 1. It is incremented (S60). At this time, the count value of the row number counter 128 is 1. Subsequently, the row height 16 of row 1 is multiplied by a value (1-1 = 0) obtained by subtracting 1 from the count value 1 of the row number counter 128, and the value is stored in the coordinate table as Y coordinate data ( S61). In this case, the Y coordinate data is 0. Similarly, the text data of line 2 is read (S62: NO, S63: NO, S57, S58: NO, S59: NO), and the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S60). At this time, the count value of the row number counter 128 is 2. Then, the row height 16 of row 2 is multiplied by a value (2-1 = 1) obtained by subtracting 1 from the count value 2 of the row number counter 128, and the value is stored in the coordinate table as Y coordinate data (S61). ). In this case, the Y coordinate data is 16. Similar processing is performed for row 3 and row 4. That is, the text data of line 3 is read to confirm the presence of line feed data 132 (S58: YES), and the count value is 3 when the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S60). The Y coordinate data of 3 is a value (32) obtained by multiplying the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the count value 3 of the row number counter 128 and the row height 16 of the row 3. For row 4, a value (48) obtained by multiplying the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the count value 4 of the row number counter 128 and the row height 16 of row 4 is obtained.

  Then, after confirming the presence of the horizontal break block data 133 after the line 4 (S62: YES), the text data of the line 5 is read (S64, S65: NO, S67: NO). Further, after the presence of the line feed data 132 of the line 5 is confirmed (S65: YES), the text data of the line 6 is further read (S66: NO, S64, S65: NO, S67: NO). Thereafter, when the end data of line 6 is the end data of text 130 (S67: YES), the line number counter 128 is reset to obtain the Y coordinate data of lines 5 and 6 (S68: NO). After performing (S68A), the process which calculates | requires the Y coordinate data of the line 5 and the line 6 is performed.

  First, the horizontal break block data 132 immediately before the line 5 for which the Y coordinate is not set is searched (S69), and the text data of the line 4 is read back in the head direction of the text 130 based on the horizontal break block data 132. (S70, S71: NO, S73: NO). After the presence of the line feed data 132 of the line 3 is confirmed (S71: YES), the text data of the line 2 is read in the same manner (S72: NO, S70, S71: NO, S73: NO). Thereafter, when the existence of the vertical break block data 131 in the row 1 is confirmed (S71: YES, S72: YES), the Y coordinate data (Y coordinate data 16 in the row 2) with the vertical break block data 131 is stored. (S74). Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, the horizontal break block data 132 immediately before the line 5 in which the Y coordinate is not set is searched (S75), and the text data of the line 5 is read in the end direction (forward direction) of the text 130. (S76, S77: NO, S79: NO). If it is confirmed that the line feed data 132 of line 5 is present (S77: YES), the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S78). The count value of the row number counter 128 at this time is 1. Since the count value of the line number counter 128 is 1 (S80: YES), the Y coordinate data 16 stored in the process (S74) is copied (S81) and stored in the coordinate table as the Y coordinate data of the condition 5 To do. Further, the text data of line 6 is read (S83: NO, S84: NO, S76, S77: NO, S79: YES), and the count value of the line number counter 128 is incremented by 1 (S78). At this time, since the count value of the line number counter 128 is 2 (S80: NO), the value (40) obtained by adding the Y coordinate data (16) of the previous line (line 5) and the line height (24). Is stored in the coordinate table as the Y coordinate data of row 6. When the end of the text (end data of line 6) is reached (S83: NO, S84: YES), the calculation of the Y coordinate data for all the lines has been completed, and the process ends. At this time, the Y coordinate data of row 1 is 0, the Y coordinate data of row 2 is 16, the Y coordinate data of row 3 is 32, the Y coordinate data of row 4 is 48, the Y coordinate data of row 5 is 16, The Y coordinate data of 6 is 40, and this state is shown in the coordinate table of FIG.

  As described above, according to the X coordinate data, the Y coordinate data, the line length, and the line height obtained for each of the lines 1 to 6, each line of the text is converted into the vertical break block data 131, the line feed data 132, and the horizontal break block data 133. A print sample printed based on this is shown in FIG. Line 1 (ABCD) is printed as one block based on the vertical break block data 131, and lines 2 to 4 are printed as one block arranged vertically with respect to line 1. ing. Further, it can be seen that line 6 is printed as a single block arranged in the horizontal direction with respect to the blocks of line 2 to line 4 based on the horizontal break block data 133.

  23 to 26 show the second specific example, FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the contents of the text stored in the text buffer 124 in the second specific example, and FIG. 24 is the text buffer of FIG. FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an arrangement state in which each row and block are arranged based on the contents of FIG. 26, and FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram showing the X coordinate, Y coordinate, row length, and row height stored in the coordinate table. These are explanatory drawings showing a print sample of a second specific example.

  As shown in FIG. 23, in the text 130 composed of 6 lines, the line feed data 132 after the lines 1 and 2, the horizontal break block data 133 after the line 3, the line feed data 132 after the line 4, the line 5 data Later, vertical break block data 131 is inserted. If such text 130 is arranged based on the line break data 132, horizontal break block data 133, and vertical break block data 131, lines 1 to 6 are shown in FIG. When the line arrangement process is performed according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 13 to 18, the X coordinate data, the Y coordinate data, the line length, and the line height are calculated as shown in FIG. Can do. Furthermore, when text is actually printed based on the data in the coordinate table of FIG. 25, a print sample as shown in FIG. 26 can be obtained. Since these detailed descriptions are the same as those described above, they are omitted here.

  As described in detail above, in the stamp device according to the present embodiment, the horizontal break block key 61 and the vertical break block key 62 are arranged on the keyboard 52, and the characters in the text or the like are arranged in one block via the horizontal break block key 61. Since it is possible to designate a break position to be separated in the horizontal direction for each block and to designate a break position to be separated in the vertical direction for each block of characters and the like via the vertical break block key 62, it is possible to specify a character or the like in the text as 1 As a group of blocks, a block break can be performed in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction to divide each block. As a result, it is possible to obtain the stamp unit 1 having the stamp face portion 30 in which the text is flexibly edited to have a desired character arrangement.
