紙（図示せず）に印字される。FIG. 4 shows the relationship between a general host computer 1 and printer 2. In the host computer 1, various types of information are inputted through a board 3, which is a type of input device.This input is performed while displaying the input information on a CRT 4, which is a type of display device. The information stored on the disk 5, which is a type of information storage/reproduction medium, is
It will be done. The information stored on disk 5 is then fed to printer 2 and printed on printing paper (not shown) according to the selected operating mode.

動作モードに従ってデータＲＡＭ７に記憶されたデータ
を印字するようにされている。The printer 2 has a built-in control unit as shown in FIG. 6, which causes information sent from the host computer 1 to be temporarily stored as data in the data RAM 7 via the CPU 6, and then stored in the program ROM 8. The data stored in the data RAM 7 is printed according to the operating mode.

かり、コストも高くなるという問題点があった。Furthermore, in order to select an operating mode, it is necessary to go to the printer 2 and operate it, making the operation extremely complicated. If an operating mode not stored in the program ROM 8 is required, the program ROM 8 must be replaced with a program ROM 8 in which the required operating mode is stored. Therefore, the program ROM 8 must be replaced in order to change the operating mode or add more units, which is a problem in that it is very time consuming and increases the cost.

よび装置を提供することを目的とする。The present invention has been made in view of these points, and it is possible to freely set and select the printer's operation mode by operating the computer, making it extremely easy to change the printer's operation mode and add more printers. In addition, there is no need to provide a special device on the printer side for selecting the operation mode, and the cost is low.Moreover, settings and selections can be made while displaying the operation mode on the display, making operation easy. It is an object of the present invention to provide a very simple method and device for controlling the operating mode of a printer.

プリンタの動作モードの制御装置。[Scope of Claims] 1) In a printer operation mode control method for controlling the operation mode of a printer connected to a host computer, the printer operation mode is selected by an input device on the host computer side when printer operation is input. The selected operation mode is displayed on the display and stored as mode information in the information storage/reproduction medium, and at the same time is stored as a control code on the printer side, and then the mode is stored in the disk by the host computer when the printer operation is commanded. A method for controlling the operation mode of a printer, characterized in that information is sent to the printer side as a control code, and the printer is operated according to the same control code already stored. 2) A host computer equipped with an input device for inputting various information, a display device for displaying the input information, and an information storage/reproduction medium capable of storing and reproducing information; In the printer operation mode control device having a printer to be controlled, the host computer displays the printer operation mode selected by the input device at the time of inputting the printer operation on a display and also displays the printer operation mode on the information storage/reproduction medium. It is stored as mode information and sent to the printer as a control code at the same time.
The printer has a control unit that converts mode information stored in an information storage/reproduction medium into a control code and sends it to the printer at the time of a subsequent printer operation command, and the printer controls the control code sent when the printer operation is input. A printer operation mode control device comprising a program RAM that stores codes and receives a control code sent at the time of a printer operation command to operate the printer according to the same control code already stored.
