Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply printing to the blank part of printed matter by a method wherein the printed matter after printing is placed on a tablet to indicate the desired blank part of the printed matter and the range thereof is displayed on the display screen of a word processor main body and the data output inserted in said range is controlled in a dot unit. CONSTITUTION:Printer matter after printing is set to a tablet and the size thereof is sent to a word processor main body which is turn displays the size 11 of the printed matter on a display screen 4. The insert part of data is pointed in the blank part of the printed matter on the tablet and the word processor main body displays the range 12 thereof on the display picture. By the function of the word processor main body, new data 13 is inserted so as to be received within the blank part 1 of the display picture 4. Since the printed matter after printing is set to the printer connected to the word processor main body and only the data 13 prepared by the word processor main body is outputted to a printer, printing can be accurately applied to the blank part.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention is directed to the printing of new characters, graphics, etc. in blank areas such as margins and frames of various printed matter that have already been printed with new characters, graphics, etc. The present invention relates to a printing position recognition processing device for printing.

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, with the widespread use of word processors, it has become possible to easily create sentences and print them on paper using a printer.

This conventional word processor outputs information such as characters and figures created on an attached display screen using a printer.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, although the above-mentioned conventional word processors are sufficient for initially printing information on a sheet of paper, they may be used to print information again on documents such as questionnaire forms, or to add figure numbers and numbers to drawings later. If you need to reprint new text, graphics, or other information on a printed matter that already has text, graphics, or other information printed on it, such as when adding explanatory text, please check the position of blank areas such as margins or frames. Since it is impossible to detect this blank area, it is extremely difficult to accurately print information in this blank area.

The present invention solves such conventional problems and easily and reliably prints information such as new characters and figures in desired blank areas such as margins and frames of printed materials. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing position recognition processing device that is improved so as to be able to perform the following operations.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input tablet for inputting a blank part of a printed matter and displaying the range of the blank part on a display screen of a word processor main body. and a printer capable of controlling, dot by dot, the output of information such as characters and figures inserted into the blank area on the display screen by operating the word processor main body.

Effects The present invention has the following effects due to the above configuration. In other words, by placing the printed material on the tablet and specifying the desired blank area of the printed material, that area will be displayed on the display screen of the word processor itself, and information such as new characters and figures will be displayed within that area. can be inserted into information areas such as characters and figures that have already been printed so that they do not overlap, and the inserted information can be printed out in blank areas of the printed material using a printer that can control the output of the inserted information in dot units. be able to.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a printing position recognition processing device in one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a word processor main body, which is equipped with a display device. 2 is an input tablet, which has already printed information such as characters and figures, and inputs blank areas such as margins and frames of printed matter (regular printed matter, printed matter printed out by a printer) into the word processor body 1. input and display it on the display screen 4 (see FIG. 2, 1, b). 3
is a printer that prints out information such as characters and figures inserted on the display screen 4 by operating the word processor main body 1, and the output can be controlled dot by dot.

In the above configuration, its operation will be described below with reference to the display screen display operation explanatory diagram shown in FIG.

First, a printed material is set on the tablet 2.

Then, the user points at the four corners of the printed material and sends the size to the word processor main body 1. Word processor body 1
As shown in FIG. 2a, information from the tablet 2, that is, print size 11, is displayed on the attached display screen
Display upper 1c.

Next, among the blank areas of the printed matter on the tablet 2, the user points to a blank area in which information such as new characters or figures is desired to be inserted, and sends that range to the word processor body 1 of the device. The word processor body 1 displays its range 12 on the display screen 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, new characters and figures are added so that they fit within the blank area 12 of the display screen 4 using various functions such as inserting, deleting, and replacing information such as characters and figures by operating the word processor main body 1. Insert information 13 such as graphics. Therefore, information such as new characters and figures can be added without affecting the display position of the information on the printed matter.
can be inserted. Then, by setting the printed material into the printer 3 connected to the word processor main body 1 and outputting only the information 13 such as new characters and figures created by the word processor main body 1 to the printer 3, the printed material can be printed. It is possible to accurately print on blank areas without overprinting information that has already been printed on printed matter.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, information such as new characters and figures can be accurately printed in the blank areas of printed materials, and in addition to printing in the blank areas, it is also possible to print information such as new characters and figures in the blank areas of printed materials. It can also be easily printed, and by printing between lines, it can also be used for text correction.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by placing a printed material on a tablet and specifying a desired blank area of the printed material, that area is displayed on the display screen of the word processor main body. Within this range, you can insert information such as new characters or figures so that they do not overlap with the already printed information such as characters or figures, and you can control the output of this inserted information on a dot-by-dot basis. It is possible to print on the blank areas of the printed material using a printer that can print. Therefore, new information can be easily and accurately printed in blank areas of printed materials.
