Kana character string input from keyboard 1 and control unit 2
Memorize the kanji-kana-mixed sentences that have been converted into kana-kanji by .

Reference numeral 6 denotes a CRT display device, which displays kana character strings input from the keyboard 1 and sentences containing kanji and kana characters stored in the document buffer 5.

7 is a one-line buffer consisting of RAM;
When printing of a document stored in the document buffer 5 is instructed, one line of document data read from the document buffer 5 is stored.

8 is a storage buffer consisting of RAM;
Data other than spaces in the document data stored in the one-line buffer 7 is stored.

Reference numeral 9 represents a print buffer consisting of a RAM that stores one line of document data to be printed, and 10 represents a thermal transfer type dot printer.

The control unit 2 stores the kana character string inputted from the keyboard 1 in the document buffer 5, and when kana-kanji conversion is instructed from the keyboard 1, the control unit 2 stores the kana character string inputted from the keyboard 1 into the document buffer by referring to the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4. The kana character string stored in step 5 is converted into a sentence containing kanji and kana, and is used as document data.

[0022] Also, from the keyboard 1, the document buffer 5
When an instruction is given to print document data stored in , one line of document data is read out from document buffer 5 and stored in one line buffer 7 . Further, data other than spaces in the document data stored in the one-line buffer 7 is transferred to the storage buffer 8.

At this time, it is determined whether the one line of document data stored in the one line buffer 7 is at the beginning of the page, and if it is not the beginning of the page, the document data stored in the one line buffer 7 is transferred to the print buffer 9. However, when it is the beginning of the page, the document data stored in the storage buffer 8 is transferred to the print buffer 9. Then, the one-line document data transferred to the print buffer 9 is printed by the printer 10.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents stored in the one-line buffer, storage buffer, and print buffer during printing. To explain with reference to FIG. 3, first, a document is input from the keyboard 1 or, if an external storage device is added, is read from the external storage device and stored in the document buffer 5.

In this state, when a print key (not shown) is pressed on the keyboard 1 to instruct printing, the control section 2 First, the storage buffer 8 is initialized by clearing the space (number 51). Next, one line of data is read from the beginning of the document buffer 5 and sequentially set in the one-line buffer 7 (number 521).
, the data other than the space in the one-line buffer 7 is transferred to the storage buffer 8 (number 522), and it is checked whether the one-line data set in the one-line buffer 7 is the beginning of the page. Then, if it is not the beginning of the page, the data in the one-line buffer 7 is sent as is to the print buffer 9 (number 523), and the printer 10 prints one line.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, data for one line is read out from the document buffer 5 again and set in the one-line buffer 7 (number 531), and the data other than the space in the one-line buffer 7 is stored in the storage buffer 8. Transfer to (number 53)
2) Check whether the one line of data set in the one line buffer 7 is at the beginning of the page. Then, if it is not the beginning of the page, the data in the one-line buffer 7 is sent as is to the print buffer 9 (number 533), and the printer 10
The printing process of printing one line with is repeated.

In the process of continuing printing in this way, as shown in FIG. When data other than the space in is transferred to the save buffer 8 (number 542) and it is checked whether the one line of data set in the one line buffer 7 is at the beginning of the page, if it is the beginning of the page, the data is saved. Send the data in buffer 8 to print buffer 9 (number 5
43), one line is printed by the printer 10.

Next, the details of the processing operation of the control section 2 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
