Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to test print paper for form design, which makes it easy to check the consistency between the output program and the form format, and make necessary corrections and corrections when designing business forms and continuous forms for computer use. The purpose is to make document design easier.

Unlike traditional type line printers, kanji printers, which have become increasingly popular, have variable character size, font, and print pitch, increasing the degree of freedom in form design. It's a burden.

Conventionally, form design has been done using a design paper called spacing chart paper, but this paper is used for type line printers with a fixed character pitch of 1/10 inch and line pitch of 1/6 inch (or 1/8 inch). It is a design paper for the design of the output program and form format, making full use of the function of the kanji printer that forms output characters using dots that can output different character sizes and printing pitches in the same form. It's not enough to do it.

Also, in order to make the design easier, spacing chart paper for kanji printers was created and used, but it was limited to a specific model and lacked versatility. This increases the burden on the designer because a plurality of scale units must be mixed or the scale units must be minimized.

Furthermore, since kanji printers are historically new, there are very few experienced designers, so it is extremely difficult to materialize a design image just by working on a desk because it involves complex allocation calculations. .

A method of test printing is known in order to fully utilize the functions of a kanji printer and not place any burden on form design. Once the design image is realized through test printing, the designer can easily check the contents of the output program and make corrections. However, as a printed form cannot be used for test printing at the design stage, a so-called stock form or blank form is used.
Therefore, it is necessary to measure using a scale or the like in order to confirm the print position, and the burden on the designer remains unrelieved.

According to the present invention, since a scale for confirming the printing position of the test print is printed on the paper, this can be confirmed immediately and easily without using a scale or the like, and the burden on the designer is greatly reduced.

The test print paper for form design of this invention has 1/6-inch intervals between the top and bottom edges on both the front and back sides of the paper, and the (3+6n)th line is medium-strength.
Create horizontal ruled lines with the 6nth line set to high strength, and create vertical ruled lines with 1/10 inch spacing between the side edges, and set the (5+5n)th line to medium strength and the 10nth line set to high strength. (However, the above n is 0 or a positive integer.) Furthermore, dots are placed at positions dividing the interval between each of the high-strength vertical and horizontal ruled lines into 4 to 20 equal parts, and the dots are placed on both side edges. By cutting holes, it is possible to accurately align the printing position and the output position of the ruled line. The ruled line can be a solid line or a dotted line, and medium intensity or high intensity means that the line has a tone or color that can be distinguished from other ruled lines. The test print paper is produced as a continuous piece that is continuous in the longitudinal direction via tear-off perforations.

Next, the present invention will be explained according to the drawings. The drawing shows a test print sheet for designing a tri-fold envelope to which the present invention is applied. However, the test print paper for form design of the present invention is not limited to such special forms, but generally refers to test print paper for various form designs used in kanji printers, and is suitable as a general-purpose test print paper. It is generally configured in a standard size of 15 inches wide by 11 inches tall.

In the drawing, test print paper A for form design is formed into a continuous body connected vertically with upper and lower edges 1 as separated edges, and there are feed holes 2a on both side edges.
2b is provided, thereby making it possible to accurately align the printing position and the output position of the ruled line. Up,
The lower edge 1 can be provided with perforations for cutting. Front side (Figure 1) and back side (Figure 2) of paper
3 vertical lines at 1/10 inch intervals between both edges on the entire surface.
is printed, the (5+5n)th ruled line 4 is printed with medium strength, and the 10nth ruled line 5 is printed with high strength. Further, horizontal ruled lines 6 are printed at 1/6 inch intervals between the upper edge and the lower edge, and the (3+6n)th ruled line 7 is printed with medium strength, and the 6nth ruled line 8 is printed with high strength. The above n is 0 or a positive integer.

Furthermore, dots are placed at positions equally divided into 4 to 20 spaces within each of the high-strength vertical ruled lines 3, 4, and 5 and the high-strength horizontal ruled lines 6, 7, and 8.

The fold positions forming the connecting edges of each leaf part B, C, and D of the trifold envelope are 13a, 13b, 14a, and 1.
4b. Adhesive application positions on the front and back surfaces are indicated by 15, 16, 17, and 18. The positions of the perforation lines for cutting the edge of the feed hole are 11a, 11b,
12a, 12b, and the opening perforation lines are engraved at 20a, 20b, 21a, 21b, 22a,
22b, 23a, 23b, 24a, and 24b.

The setting positions of each of these elements can be easily confirmed by the vertical and horizontal ruled lines printed on the paper, and in the same way, characters of different sizes to be printed on the front and back sides of each leaf B, C, and D can be set as appropriate. By making a test print in the position shown in FIG.

The test print paper for form design of the present invention can also accurately convey the contents of the format by attaching a test printed sample to a form printing order, and can also be used for processing such as binding and folding after printing the data. This is done accurately so that the closing and folding parts of the form do not become the printing position.
