Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously print a plurality of types of characters without replacing a character generator on the way of printing by providing a connector for mounting a detachable character generator, a controller for transferring a character pattern from the generator to a pattern memory, and a printer for printing the pattern. CONSTITUTION:A controller 1 is connected to a character generator 2 contained therein, a character pattern storage RAM 3 and a connector 4, and a detachable character generator 5 is mounted in the connector 4. The generator 5 can be replaced with another character generator 6 which has different character pat tern from that of the generator 5, and an arbitrary character can be printed by a printer 7 by mounting the arbitrary generator. Thus, the three types of the characters of the generator 2, the generator 5 copied in the RAM 3 and the generator 6 newly connected to the connector 3 can be printed without replacing the generator.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、プリンタ、特に着脱可能なキャラクタジェネ
レータと文字パターン登録機能とを有するプリンタに関
する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a printer, and particularly to a printer having a removable character generator and a character pattern registration function.

〔従来の技術） 従来、この種のプリンタは、着脱可能なキャラクタジェ
ネレータから文字パターンを内部に登録することはでき
なかった。[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of printer has not been able to internally register character patterns from a removable character generator.

た。As mentioned above, conventional printers cannot register character patterns from removable character generators inside the printer, so in order to print characters across multiple character generators, it is necessary to register the character pattern in the middle of printing. I had to replace the character generator.

られる。According to the present invention, there is provided a connector portion to which a removable character generator is attached, a pattern memory to which character patterns are registered, a controller which transfers character patterns from the removable character generator to the pattern memory, and a printing portion which prints the patterns. A printer is obtained.

を、印字部７により印字することが可能である。Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the invention, a controller 1 is connected to a built-in character generator 2, a RAM 3 for storing character patterns, and a connector 4. A detachable character generator 5 is attached to the connector 4. The removable character generators can be replaced with another character generator 6 containing a different character pattern, and by attaching any character generator, any character can be printed by the printing unit 7. is possible.

きる。The controller 1 reads the pattern from the detachable character generator 5 and copies it to the RAM 3. After copying, the character generator 5 becomes unnecessary, and another character generator 6 can be installed. As a result, the character generator is replaced with three types of characters: the characters of built-in character generator 2, the characters of character generator 5 copied to RAM 2, and the characters of character generator 6 newly connected to connector 3. You can print without any trouble.

Multiple types of characters can be printed.
