Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently eliminate omission of line data at the time of reduction print processing by providing a printing means with a line attribute changing means which changes the attribute of ruled lines or the like. CONSTITUTION:A printing means 4-5 is provided with a line attribute changing means 4-6 which changes the attribute of ruled lines or the like. Characters, symbols, etc., are inputted by an input device 4-1, and a specific key on the input device 4-1 is depressed to start the print processing of the document generated and edited on the picture of a display device 4-2. When reduction is selected and the reduction rate is >=50% in the pring processing, the change processing of the attribute of ruled lines is performed to change the attribute of horizontal and vertical ruled lines to thick ruled lines. since the attribute of line data of ruled lines or the like is preliminarily changed, the omission of line data for reduction printing is efficiently eliminated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document editing/printing device, and in particular, to a document editing/printing device that has a function of eliminating missing line data such as ray lines in reduction processing in a printing processing function of documents, etc. The present invention relates to a document editing/printing device having a document editing/printing device.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional electronic computers such as personal computers and office computers, when processing reduced printing,
After reduction, missing data such as lines are detected and only those parts are reprinted.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in the past, missing parts were reprinted, which resulted in poor processing efficiency and a large amount of processing and work time.

An object of the present invention is to efficiently eliminate missing line data by first changing the attributes of line data such as D lines during reduced printing processing using an electronic computer such as a personal computer or an office computer. The goal is to make things possible.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above object is to provide a printing means for reducing a document containing mixed line data such as gray lines with a line attribute changing means for changing the attributes of line data such as gray lines, and to reduce the document data by the printing means. This is achieved by first using a line waste property changing means to change the data to data that does not have lines missing even if it is reduced.

[Effect]

After changing the attributes of the line data such as the gray line in advance by the line waste property changing means, the document containing the line data such as the gray line is reduced by the printing means. Since the roles are shared among the devices in this way, it works to prevent malfunctions.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a block configuration diagram of a document editing and printing device showing an embodiment of the present invention, and 4-1 is an input means for inputting characters, symbols, etc. and specifying various functions, such as a plurality of keystroke keys. It is a keyboard with

4-2 is a display means for displaying characters and symbols entered using the keyboard, edited documents, various guidance, etc.
For example, it consists of a CRT display capable of displaying 41 horizontal characters and 18 vertical lines.

4-3 is a storage means for storing the created document; 4-4 is a document editing means for controlling the input and editing of the document while controlling each of the above-mentioned means; and 4-5 is a (reduced) printing of the document according to the present invention. The printing means 4-5 is equipped with a line waste property changing means 4-6 for changing the attributes of the wires and the like. 4-7 is a printing control means for controlling the printing means 4-5.

FIG. 1 relates to the present invention of the document editing and printing device shown in FIG. 4 (
This is a flowchart showing the processing procedure when printing one document during the printing function (reduced). Fig. 2 shows the configuration of the line attribute and the actual attribute data, and Fig. 3 shows the line waste property changing means 4. −
6 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing procedure for the process 1-5 of changing the attribute of the line shown in FIG.

The process will be explained below according to the flowcharts in the order of FIGS. 1 and 3.

In FIG. 1, characters, symbols, etc. are input using the input device 4-1, and a document created or edited on the screen of the display device 4-2 is printed by pressing a specific key on the input device 4-1. Move on to processing. In the printing process, first, in printing condition setting 1-3, the format, selection of reduced printing according to the present invention or normal printing, and in the case of reduced printing, the reduction rate, the number of print sheets, etc. are set or selected.

Here, if reduction is selected and the reduction rate is 50% or more, in step 1-4.1-5, processing is performed to change the attributes of the key line based on FIG. 2. This is because when the reduction ratio is 50% or more, the reference data interval of the dots becomes large during reduction, and the probability that the dots are missing increases. The attributes of the key line are vertical,
A total of 8 bits (4 bits for each horizontal line) (
It consists of 1 byte).

The process of changing the attributes of the C line will be described below in accordance with the flowchart of FIG. Step 3-1.3
The attributes of the horizontal line in -2 and the vertical line in 3-3 and 3-4 are changed to thick lines. As can be understood from FIG. 2, the attributes can be changed by adding 1 to the attribute data of the fine line. In FIG. 2, the key line data for each line type is described.

Returning to FIG. 1, from step 1-6 onwards, the printing means 4
-5 performs the actual printing process.

First, create a dot image of the document data to be actually printed, and then proceed to steps 1-6. In the case of reduction printing of step 1-7, the dot image is reduced in step 1-8, and printing is executed in step 1-9. Step 1-10 is a process for determining the end of print processing for one page, and step 1-11 is a process for determining the end of print processing for one document.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, by changing the attributes of line data such as roughening lines, it is possible to efficiently eliminate missing line data during reduced printing.
