Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the number of pages yet to be discharged before completion of printing by providing counter and display parts for the number of pages yet to be discharged. CONSTITUTION:When data for one page is sent to a printing controlling part 2 through an interface-controlling part 1, a counter part 4 for the number of pages yet to be discharged increments a counter by 1. When discharge of one sheet of paper is detected by a paper discharge sensor 6, the counter is decremented by 1. Thus, the number of pages corresponding to data being present in a printer is counted, and the count is displayed on a display part 5 for the number of pages yet to be discharged. When transmission of data from a host computer is finished, the user can know the number of pages to yet to be discharged before printing is completed.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はページプリンタに関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to page printers.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、ページプリンタにおいて内部に何ページ分のデー
タが存在するのかを表示する機能はなかった。Conventionally, page printers have not had a function to display how many pages of data exist inside the printer.

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

上述したように従来のページプリンタはプリンタ内部に
何ページ分のデータが存在するのかを表示する機能はな
かったので、ポストコンピュータからデータを送り終わ
った場合でもプリンタ内部にデータが残っていた場合に
あと何ページ排出すればすべての印字が終了するのかが
わからなかった。As mentioned above, conventional page printers did not have a function to display how many pages of data existed inside the printer, so even if the data has been sent from the post computer, there is still data left inside the printer. I didn't know how many more pages I would have to eject to finish printing.

本発明の目的は前期課題を解決しなページプリンタを提
供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a page printer that does not solve the aforementioned problems.

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

前記目的を達成するため、本発明に係るページプリンタ
においては、プリンタ内部に残存するデータのページ数

示部とを有するものである。In order to achieve the above object, the page printer according to the present invention includes a number of pages waiting to be ejected counter unit that counts the number of pages of data remaining inside the printer, and a number of pages waiting to be ejected that displays the count value by the counter unit. It has a display section.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

以下、本発明の一実施例を図により説明する。 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

第１図は本発明の一実施例を示すブロック図である。FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

ページ数表示部５でそのカウント値を表示する。When the data for one page is sent to the print control section 2 via the interface control section 2, the counter section 4 for the number of pages waiting to be ejected increases the counter by 1, and the paper ejection sensor 6 ejects one sheet of paper. When this is detected, the counter is decremented by 1 to count how many pages of data are inside the printer. Then, the count value is displayed on the discharge waiting page number display section 5.
