Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the erasure of registered external character data even when the power supply of a printer is cut off, by providing a non-volatile reading/writing memory in the printer and registering the external character data therein. CONSTITUTION:When an external character data registering order and external character data are transmitted from a host computer 6, they are analyzed by a microprocessor control circuit part 3 to register the external character data in a non-volatile RAM part 5. When it is required that the external character registered in the non-volatile RAM part 5 is printed, an external character selecting order and a printing code are transmitted from the host computer 6 and they are analyzed by the microprocessor control circuit part 3 to take out the external character data registered in the non-volatile RAM part 5 corresponding to the printing code and said data is supplied to a printing mechanism part 4 to perform printing.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はプリンタの外字データ登録装置に関し、特にマ
イクロプロセッサ制御のプリンタの外字データ登録装置
に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a printer external character data registration device, and more particularly to a microprocessor-controlled printer external character data registration device.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

あった。Conventionally, in this type of printer's external character data registration device, external character data is registered in the printer's built-in RAM (Random Access Memory) based on commands from the host computer, and this RAM is volatile. Ta.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

を登録しなければならないという欠点があった。Since the above-mentioned conventional printer external character data registration device registers external character data in a volatile RAM, the external character data registered in the RAM disappears when the power is turned off. Therefore, when the power is turned on again and the user wishes to use the same data as the previously registered external character data, there is a drawback that the same external character data must be registered again.

〔課題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

にしたことを特徴とする。The external character data registration device for a printer according to the present invention has a nonvolatile read/write memory inside the printer.
The present invention is characterized in that external character data is registered in this read/write memory.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

次に本発明の一実施例について図面を参照して説明する
