Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To enable the printing range to be specified randomly and all at once. [Configuration] Control circuit 62 of printer interface section 6
causes the page data memory 63 to store data indicating the print page input via the keyboard 2. After that, the print page is read from the page data memory 63,
A request is made to the CPU 1 for the text data of the corresponding page. C
The PU 1 sends text data of the corresponding page from the disk unit 3 or the memory 4 to the control circuit 62 . The control circuit 62 temporarily stores the text data in the text data memory 64, and then sequentially sends the text data to the printer 7 for printing.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to word processors.

0002

[Conventional technology]

In conventional word processors, when printing, the print range can be specified as the starting page and ending page. The specification is limited to the end page or the print start page and number of print pages. ing.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

When specifying the print range using a conventional word processor, for example, 20 pages. Print the 1st page, 5th to 7th pages, and 18th to 19th pages of the manuscript. If so, first print the 1st page, then print the 5th to 7th pages, and finally print the 18th page. ~ Specify the print range from the keyboard each time, such as printing the 19th page. It is not efficient as it requires repeated input.

0004 The purpose of this invention is to provide a word processor that can randomly specify the printing range all at once. It is about providing.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

The word processor of the invention displays printed pages entered via the keyboard. A page data memory that stores the data to be printed, and a page data memory that stores the text data of the printed page. Text data memory to store and print pages read from the page data memory The text data is temporarily stored in the text data memory and sequentially sent to the printer for printing. The control circuit is configured to include a control circuit that causes the

【Example】

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

[0007] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. U1, keyboard 2, disk unit 3, memory 4, display 5, printer The interface section 6 is connected thereto. Also, via the printer interface section 6 A printer 7 is connected thereto. Furthermore, the printer interface unit 6 has a bus interface. The interface circuit 61, the control circuit 62, the page data memory 63, and the document data The printer includes a data memory 64 and a printer interface circuit 65.

[0008] Next, for example, out of a 20-page manuscript, page 1, pages 5-7, and pages 18- The operation when printing the 19th page will be explained.

[0009] At the start of printing, from keyboard 2, for example, 1, 5-7, 18-19, etc. Specify print pages of document files all at once. CPU1 has a printer interface. The control code is sent to the control circuit 62 of the bus section 6 and is input via the keyboard 2. The data indicating the printed page is stored in the page data memory 63. After that, C PU1 prints text data stored in disk unit 3 or memory 4. It is sent to the printer interface unit 6. At this time, the control circuit 62 receives the The document data is stored in the document data memory 64. Document data transmission from CPU1 After printing is completed, the control circuit 62 reads the print page from the page data memory 63. and reads the corresponding document data from the document data memory 64. The data is sequentially sent to the printer 7 via the output printer interface circuit 65 and printed. let

0010 In this way, the 1st page and 5th to 7th pages are specified all at once via the keyboard. The 1st, 18th and 19th pages can be printed sequentially.

[0011]

[Effect of the idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, printing pages specified via the keyboard can be printed. The pages are stored in bulk, the stored print pages are sequentially read out, and the text data of the corresponding page is stored. A printer interface that allows the printer to print data while temporarily storing it in the document data memory. By providing a face section, you can specify the printing range randomly and all at once. Furthermore, it is possible to cause the CPU to execute other processing even during printing.
