Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To obtain a printer device that can prevent misprinting due to forgetfulness or erroneous operation. [Arrangement] An information processing device 1 for setting data in a set size and direction of a print sheet is provided, and a display unit for reading and displaying the size and direction of the print sheet set in the information processing device 1 in a printer 2. 15 is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a printer device with a print paper automatic setting function, and in particular, it reads the data of a paper selection signal containing the data of paper size and orientation and automatically determines the size and orientation of the paper for that data. The present invention relates to a printer device which sets, prints, and outputs the size and direction of the set paper.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the conventional printer, the size and orientation of the paper to be printed are set by the operator operating the switch attached to the printer before printing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in this conventional printer, the size of the paper to be printed and the orientation of the paper to be printed are set by the operator using the switch on the printer device before printing, so there is no error in setting. There was a problem that printing errors occurred due to forgetting the settings.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a printer device that can prevent printing mistakes without the trouble of setting the size and orientation of paper.

[0005]

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a printer device having a printer for printing and outputting data in a set paper size and printing direction, and providing an information processing device for setting data in the set paper size and direction. The printer is equipped with a display unit that reads and displays the size and printing direction of the printing paper of the information processing device, so that the printing paper and orientation that are added to the data are output, and the printing paper size and printing direction are output. This printer device saves the trouble of setting and prevents misprinting of the size and direction of the printing paper due to an operation error.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a layout view showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the print data created by the information processing apparatus 1 is printed by the printer 2. When the information processing apparatus 1 prints the created data on the printer 2, for example, when the paper size is A4 and the paper orientation is vertical, the information processing apparatus 1 prints the data on the printer. As the time setting, the paper size is set to A4 and the paper orientation is set to the vertical direction. When the setting is completed, a command for executing printing is input with the keyboard 1a.

This printing program has a function of giving a paper selection signal 4 having data of paper size and paper orientation set at the time of printer printing before the data 3 to be printed.

The paper selection signal 4 is composed of a paper size data signal 5 and a paper orientation data signal 6. In the paper selection signal 4, the data of the paper size A4 set at the time of printer printing is set in the paper size data signal 5, and the data of the paper orientation in the vertical direction is set in the paper orientation data signal 6. .

The printer device 2 reads the data set in the paper size data signal 5 and the paper direction data signal 6, and prints the size of the printer paper of the printer 2 according to the read data. It has a function to set the orientation of the printer paper. In this embodiment, when a command to execute printing is input from the keyboard 1a, a data signal 5 of the paper size in which the data of the paper size is set and the data of the orientation of the paper is the vertical direction. The paper selection signal 4 composed of the paper orientation data signal 6 for which is set and the data 3 to be printed thereafter are sent to the printer 2.

The printer 2 first receives the paper selection signal 4, and the paper size data signal 5 sets the paper size A4 and the paper orientation data signal 6. , Read the data that the paper orientation is vertical. Then, according to the read data, the size of the paper of the printer device 2 is set to A4 and the orientation of the paper is set to the vertical direction.

At this time, if there is an error such as the A4 printer paper cassette 12 containing the set A4 size paper is not set or there is no A4 paper in the A4 printer paper cassette 12, The error content is displayed on the setting status display section 15.

The data of the data signal 4 of the paper size is read, set according to the read data, and the A4 printer paper cassette 12 containing A4 size paper is prepared and printed according to the setting. If it is ready, the setting status display section 15 displays the paper size A4 set in the paper size data signal 5 and the paper size set in the paper orientation data signal 6. The orientation is vertical. Next, the data 3 to be printed is printed.

The setting status display section 15 displays the error content normally when an error occurs, and displays the set paper size and paper orientation during a printable status. The paper on which the data 3 is printed is output to the paper discharge unit 14 after printing.

[0015]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the printer reads the data of the paper selection signal containing the data of the paper size and the paper orientation, and automatically sets the paper size and the paper orientation according to the read data. However, since it has a function to print and output in the set paper size and orientation, there is no need to set the paper size and orientation with the switch when printing out, and the setting of the switch of the printer device is omitted. It is possible to obtain a printer device that can prevent misprints such as forgetfulness and mistakes in paper size and orientation due to operation errors.
