Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a document processing device incorporating a plurality of one-form, one-sheet card-type samples as sample data.

(b) Conventional technology With the development of information processing technology and semiconductor technology, small and low-cost word processors have been developed, and personalization is progressing. Cards that are relatively commonly used for personal use are New Year's cards, summer greeting cards, tickets for parties, business cards, telephone cards, and the like.

When creating such cards, cards with only text lack decoration in terms of design, so it is recommended to create original cards using, for example, the built-in designs and illustrations of the Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. word processor ES-100. Even if you try, it requires a lot of effort and time. Furthermore, if there is no template available as a reference, the effort and time required will further increase.

Therefore, some of the most frequently used typical card-type texts are built into the device as samples, and it is possible to input the minimum necessary unique characters to such samples, and also to make corrections and additions. However, such card-type text is the most common type of text on the market other than postcards. It is almost impossible to print on standard paper such as 5 paper or A4 paper, and it is assumed that printing is performed on paper specifically designed for that purpose. Therefore, when printing using the above-mentioned standard paper, it must be cut to a predetermined size, and even though there is a sufficient margin area on the paper, only one text is printed.

In view of these points, the present invention simplifies cutting to a predetermined size, and even though a single sheet of paper has a sufficient margin area,
This is intended to solve the problem of only one text being printed.

(d) Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve problem ii above, the present invention provides an input section that allows input of characters, symbols, various processing, etc., and stores text created according to the input from the input section. a text memory for storing a plurality of one-form, one-page card-type samples as sample data; a printing section for printing the text or samples stored in both of the memories;
The text memory extracts desired sample data from the sample memory, stores card-type text created by adding input data by operating the input unit to the sample data, and stores the card-type text created by adding input data to the sample data, and also stores the card-type text created by adding input data to the sample data by inputting data from the input section. has a printable area for more than one page of the card-type text, the input section is provided with an instruction means for repeatedly reading out the card-type text from the text memory and printing a plurality of card-type texts on one sheet of paper. The plurality of card-type texts printed on the single sheet of paper are divided by printing that specifies each text area.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that when the single sheet to be printed is not of the same size as the card-type text, printing is performed to specify the text area.

(e) Effect As described above, by providing an instruction means in the input section for repeatedly reading card-type text from the text memory and printing a plurality of cart-type texts on a single sheet of paper, it is possible to print a plurality of cart-type texts from a single text on the same sheet of paper. The equivalent of multiple sheets can be printed.

Furthermore, the plurality of card-type texts printed on the single sheet of paper are divided by printing that specifies each text area, and when the single sheet to be printed is not the same size as the card-type text, printing that specifies the text area. By applying this, the printing becomes a mark for cutting each card-type text into a predetermined size.

is provided.

(11) refers to the Christmas party ticket shown in Figure 2, other similar tickets not shown, birthday cards, present cards, Christmas cards, telephone cards, business cards, New Year's cards, summer greeting cards, etc. This is a sample memory that stores representative printed matter as sample data.The sample data in the sample memory can be printed as a print sample without involving the text memory (5), and it can also be used in the text memory when creating text. (5) You can edit the data by copying it into the file and adding or modifying any input data.

Figure 3 shows the card type sample shown in Figure 2, for example, A
4 shows a state in which multiple copies are printed on a commonly available and versatile single sheet of paper.

The card type sample to be edited is sample memory (11)
From multiple sample data stored in the input section (3
) is copied into the text memory (5) by the selection command of the main control unit (1) based on the selection signal of You can perform editing such as adding or correcting input characters. In this way, input data is added by operating the input unit (3), and card-type text is created by simple additional input or editing. The ticket for the Christmas party according to this embodiment has a horizontally long modified size, for example, 58
If you want to print 1,000 digits on a single sheet of paper, you will need to prepare a special sheet of paper.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, we prepared a versatile A4 paper, printed four text contents on the same paper for one text, and used section marks (12) to specify each area of the text. ... are printed simultaneously on the four corners. In this embodiment, the division mark (12)...is printed with "+" in the four corners, or is not limited to "+", and other symbols are printed, and the entire area is marked with solid, broken, or chain lines. It may be surrounded by etc.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining continuous printing of such card-type text.

In the Sll step, instead of printing the card-type text that has already been created based on sample data on a single sheet of paper exclusively for that purpose, the input section ( When instructed to input by 3),
In accordance with the input instructions, the main control section (1) develops a one-line print image in the section marks (12) (12) or print buffer (10) that are necessary only during the continuous printing. In step 5102, such a section mark (12) (
12) is printed above the text to be printed.

Next, in step 5103, text memory (5)
One line of text data is read from , and in step 5104 it is expanded into the print buffer (10) as either text data or a print image based on the dictionary memory (4), and the print image is printed in step 5105. 510
Step 6 detects the end of the text data, and repeats a loop from 5103 to 5106 for printing one line at a time until the end of the text is detected.

When you finish printing the equivalent of one card-type text, 5
In step 107, a section mark (12
)(12) is developed in the print buffer (10), and the section mark (12) (12>) is printed at step S10.

In step 5109, the paper size used is compared with the printing allowance (N) extracted from the text data. That is, in this embodiment, since the text is a ticket, tickets equivalent to four sheets can be printed continuously on one A4 sheet of paper. Therefore, in a state where only printing for one sheet and its terminal section mark (12) (12) has been completed, the process advances to the next step 8110, and control for printing is again performed on the first line of the text memory (5). Return to

Then, the loop from 5103 to 5106 described above is circulated, and one text is printed for the second time (second sheet) on the same sheet of paper, and when the text printing is finished, the section marks (5107 and 5108 steps) are printed. 12)
(12) is printed.

In this way, when text equivalent to four pages is printed continuously on one single sheet of paper, it is detected in step 5109,
End the continuous printing. Therefore, adjustments to the ticket can be made by cutting the text area specified by the division marks (12) at the four corners using a canter or the like as a mark.

In the above embodiments, the creation of multiple sheets of text (tickets) by cutting a single sheet of paper has been described. However, if there is no printing area on the single sheet of paper that allows the creation of multiple sheets, it is possible to print the equivalent of one sheet on the single sheet of paper without using special paper. That is, the variable parameter N of the 5109 step in the flowchart of FIG.
Since it is determined that the print permissible area for the paper used is one text, N=1 is set. If N=1 or set, section marks (12) (12) will be placed on a single sheet of paper.
. . . Only the specified text area is printed for one page.

(G) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention is capable of converting a single text stored in a text memory into a single sheet of paper. Since it is possible to print V numbers, paper can be used effectively. Furthermore, by printing to specify each text area, cutting to a predetermined size can be easily performed using the printing as a mark. Furthermore, there is no need to use special paper.
