Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the production of a document on a form including the printed lines and frames by detecting a word processing area after reading the form size and the lines and the frames printed on the form. CONSTITUTION:When a routine format form is put into a printer part 3, the part 3 reads the form size and the routine format printed on the form. At the same time, a size detection part 5 detects the character input enable areas, and a format detection part 7 decides the format printed on the form and detects the input enable areas for the characters formed on the format. These printable areas are stored in a prescribed address of a frame memory 9 under the control of a main processor 1 and then displayed on a display device. Thus it is possible to obtain a desired document by inputting the characters into a displayed format. As a result, a document is produced on a routine format form with a simple operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation method in which a document is created on a sheet of paper on which lines and frames are printed. The present invention relates to a document creation method that can be easily created.

(Conventional technology) In recent years, factories and offices are equipped with word processors, printers, etc.
The spread of A equipment is remarkable. The above word processor.

When creating a user's name or various documents on a so-called standard format paper, such as a slip, on which lines and frames are printed using a printer or the like, the document is created on the lines and frames. When creating this document, the document to be created is positioned on the lines and frames of the paper by repeating trial typing.

Then, after positioning the document, the characters are manually created to create the document. The paper on which the document was created is set in the printer and printed out to create the document on paper in various standard formats.

In creating the above-mentioned documents, it was not easy to position the documents and create documents in the same format.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional document creation method, when creating a document on paper in a standard format, the positioning of the document is performed while repeatedly trial typing, so it takes time to position the document. , which causes operational inconvenience to the user. Also,
Since positioning is performed through repeated trial strikes, it is not easy to create documents in the same format and format, which may lead to a decrease in the reliability of the document creation method.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and its purpose is to quickly detect the size of paper and the lines and frames printed on the paper, and to detect the document creation area on the paper. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation method that improves convenience by simplifying the operation of creating a document on paper on which lines and frames are printed.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for reading the size of paper on which lines and frames are printed and the lines and frames printed on the paper. The object of the present invention is to include a reading means, and a means for detecting an area in which a document can be created based on the size, line, and frame of the sheet read by the reading means.

(Operation) In the document creation method having the above configuration, before creating a document, the size and frame of the paper on which lines and frames are printed are read. An area where a document can be created is detected based on the size, lines, and frame of the read paper. By displaying the area where this document can be created, manually entering desired characters, etc. in the displayed area, and printing it out, it is easy to create a document on paper with lines and frames printed on it. do.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing control of an embodiment of the document creation method of the present invention.

The document creation method of the present invention facilitates the creation of documents on paper in a so-called standard format, such as lines and frames, using a word processor or the like, for example.

The document creation method described above includes a main processor 1 and a printer section 3.

The main processor 1 controls the entire document creation method of the present invention.

The printer section 3 reads the standard format of the lines and frames printed on the paper inserted in the standard format before printing out the paper. Note that the device provided in the printer section 3 for reading the standard format is, for example, an OCR (optical character reader).

Further, the document creation method is based on the size detection unit 5. It has a format detection section 7 and a frame memory 9.

The size detecting section 5 detects, from the area of the paper read by the printer section 3, an area that can be manually written when creating a document.

The format detection unit 7 determines the format that has already been printed based on the paper size and standard format read by the printer unit 3 and the character inputtable area of the paper detected by the size detection unit 5. Further, the format detection unit 7 detects an area in which a document can be created on the determined format.

The frame memory 9 is a memory that stores information on areas to be displayed on a display device (not shown), and stores an area in which a document can be created, detected by the format detection unit 7, at a predetermined address.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, after turning on the power to a device such as a word processor or printer, the user inserts a sheet of paper in a standard format into the printer section 3. After insertion, the printer unit 3 reads the size of the paper and the standard format printed on the paper. After reading, the size detection unit 5 detects an area where characters can be manually written on the paper based on the size of the paper read by the printer unit 3. When the area in which characters can be entered is detected, the format detection unit 7 determines that the size of the paper read by the printer unit 3 and the area in which characters can be entered manually are detected by the size detection unit 5. Determine the format in which it is printed. Further, the format detection section 7
Detects the area where characters can be entered on the format.

The printable area to be printed on the format detected by the size detection section 5 or the like is stored at a predetermined address of the frame address 9 under the control of the main processor 1. The format stored at a predetermined address in the frame memory 9 is displayed on a display device (not shown) under the control of the main processor 1. You can create the desired document by entering characters in the displayed format.

As a result, documents can be created using simple operations even on sheets of paper in various standard formats.

This embodiment is also applicable to word processors, printers, etc. that create documents on paper in various standard formats.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by quickly detecting the size of paper and the lines and frames printed on the paper, and detecting the document creation area on the paper, To simplify the operation of creating a document on paper on which lines and frames are printed, thereby improving convenience and efficiency.
