Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability by providing a Japanese document reading means, a kanji/extraordinary character code converting means, a kanji read-out extraordinary character registering means and a Japanese document printing means. CONSTITUTION:The Japanese document printing system comprises a Japanese document read-out means 1, a kanji code/extraordinary character code converting means 2, a kanji font read-out printer extraordinary character registering means 3 and a Japanese document printing means 4 where a Japanese document file 5, a computer memory 5, a kanji code/extraordinary code correspondence table 7, a JIS second level kanji font 8 in the computer and a printer 9 are additionally provided. When a Japanese document containing a kanji code not provided in the printer 9 is printed, an extraordinary character is registered automatically based on the JIS second level kanji font arranged in the computer without requiring extraordinary character forming operation or registering operation of user, and thereby operability is improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a Japanese word processor, and in particular, the present invention relates to a Japanese word processor that utilizes the computer's kanji font and the printer's external character registration when printing Japanese documents. Concerning document printing methods.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in computer systems where the computer body has a JIS 2nd level kanji font, but the printer does not have a JIS 2nd level kanji font, a Japanese word processor has been used to print JIS 2nd level kanji fonts. In order to output a Japanese document containing kanji to a printer, the user operated a Japanese word processor to register external characters, and then output it to the printer.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above-mentioned conventional technology, in the printing method of Japanese documents without kanji fonts on the printer side, the user has to operate to create external characters, so it is difficult to operate. The disadvantage is that it is inferior.

An object of the present invention is that when printing a Japanese document containing kanji codes for which the computer is equipped with a kanji font and the printer is not equipped with it, the printer automatically uses the kanji font of the computer. The object of the present invention is to provide a simple Japanese document printing method that eliminates the above drawbacks and improves operability by registering external characters in the document.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The Japanese document printing method according to the present invention includes a Japanese document reading means, a Kanji code/external character code conversion means, a Kanji font reading printer external character registration means, and a Japanese document printing means. It is a good idea to configure it with the following.

The Japanese document reading means is for reading Japanese document files into the computer main body at the request of the user.

The Kanji code/Gaiji code conversion means converts the non-existing Kanji code of the printer's Kanji font of the Japanese document read into the computer into a Gaiji hood.
This is an attempt to create a table corresponding to the corresponding kanji code 1 foreign character food.

The Kanji font reading printer external character registration means uses the Kanji code in the Kanji code/external character code correspondence table, obtains the Kanji font from the kanji font of the computer itself, and registers the external character of the printer with the corresponding external character code.

The Japanese document printing means is for printing a Japanese document converted into a private character code.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the Japanese document printing method according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
, Kanji code/external character code conversion means 2, Kanji font reading printer external character registration means 3, and Japanese document printing means 4. A table that supports external character codes and a JIS 2nd version of the computer body.
A standard kanji font 8 and a printer 9 are added.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the user wishes to print a Japanese document, he inputs the Japanese document file name and requests the Japanese document reading means 1 to print the Japanese document. The Japanese document reading means 1 stores the Japanese document file 5 in the memory 8 of the computer main body.
After reading the kanji font into the printer 9, the printer 9 requests the kanji code/external character code converting means 2 to convert the kanji (in this embodiment, JIS level 2 kanji) codes of the kanji font into external character codes into external character codes. .

Upon receiving the request, the kanji hood/external character code conversion means 2 searches all the Japanese documents on the memory 6 of the computer main body, finds the kanji code of the kanji font that is not provided in the printer 9, and converts it to the external character code. At the same time, it is converted into the kanji code/external character code correspondence table 7, and the tiger kanji code and the corresponding external character code are registered. If the kanji code is already registered in the kanji code/external character code correspondence table, use this table to convert the kanji code to the external character code.

When the conversion is completed, request the kanji font reading printer external character registration means 3 to register the kanji font corresponding to the kanji code registered in the kanji hood/external character code correspondence table 7 in the printer 9 with the corresponding external character code. do. The kanji font reading printer external character registration means 3 obtains the kanji font corresponding to the kanji code registered in the kanji code/external character code correspondence table 7 from the JIS second level kanji font of the computer main body, and converts the kanji code/external character code.
A private character is registered in the printer 9 using the private character code in the private character code correspondence table 7.

After the registration of external characters is completed, the Japanese document printing means 4 is requested to print the Japanese document. Japanese document printing means 4
Outputs the Japanese document on the memory 6 of the computer main body to the printer S, and prints the Japanese document.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention has a computer equipped with a kanji font, and when printing a Japanese document containing a kanji code that is not equipped with a printer, the kanji font of the computer is used. By automatically registering external characters in the printer, the user does not have to create or register external characters, thereby improving operability.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A Japanese document reading means for reading Japanese document files into the computer at the request of a user, and simultaneous conversion of kanji codes that do not exist in the printer's kanji font of the Japanese document read into the computer into external character codes. Using the kanji code/external character code conversion means to create a kanji code/external character code correspondence table and the kanji codes in the kanji code/external character code correspondence table, obtain the kanji font from the kanji font of the computer itself and convert the corresponding external characters. The present invention is characterized by comprising: a Kanji font reading printer external character registration means for registering printer external characters in code; and a Japanese document printing means for printing a Japanese document converted into the external character code. Japanese document printing method.
