DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. An example applied to a Japanese word processor with a postcard printing function is shown.

Structure FIG. 1 is a basic block circuit diagram of the Japanese word processor. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a key input unit, on which a postcard printing mode designating key PK is provided in addition to various character keys for inputting a name, postal code, address and the like. The key code data output from the key input unit 11 corresponding to the operation key is the CPU (central processing unit).
12 to specify the input processing program.

The CPU 12 executes an input process, a kana-kanji conversion process according to a microprogram stored in advance,
The CPU 12 is connected to a text memory 13 and a print data storage unit 14 for executing print processing and the like.

The text memory 13 is also used as an address book memory for storing a series of data (address book data) consisting of a plurality of items such as name, address, and zip code for each name. The address book data stored in the text memory 13 also stores the name and address of the sender. The print data storage unit 14 stores and stores the zip code, address, and name of the address book data for one person read from the text memory 13. The address book data stored here is the print conversion processing unit 15. Sent to.

The print conversion processing unit 15 is a print data storage unit 1.
The address book data stored in No. 4 is converted into an output format according to the contents of the address format memory 16 or the sender format memory 17 and sent to the print buffer 18. That is, the print conversion processing unit 15 has the CPU 12
The data stored in the print data storage unit 14 is converted into a postcard format and sent to the print buffer 18 or read from the text memory 13 in accordance with the postcard print mode / normal text print mode switching signal output from Text data is taken in via the CPU 12 and the print buffer 18 is read as it is.
To send to. Further, the print conversion processing unit 15 uses the CP
The contents of the address format memory 16 or the sender format memory 17 are fetched in accordance with the address / sender switching signal output from U12, and the data from the print data storage unit 14 is converted into a corresponding format. The address format memory 16 stores data for designating an output format such as a postal code, an address, a print size relating to a name, a print area, a print pitch for printing an address of a mail such as a postcard or a letter. In addition, the sender format memory 17 stores format data for sender printing similarly to the address format memory 16.

The print data transferred to the print buffer 18 is sent to the printer 19 and printed on recording paper. In addition,
The printer 19 is a thermal printer, and postcards, envelopes, etc. are set in a landscape orientation.

FIG. 2 shows an input format of the address book data stored in the text memory 13. As shown in Fig. 2, the address book data consists of items such as name, zip code, address, and telephone number. Each item data is separated by a punctuation mark "," and finally a line feed mark.

[Outer 1] It is the one that was input with. Here, the delimiter marks “↓” and “↑” inserted in the address book data are input at positions where line changes are performed when the address data is long, and the delimiter mark “↓” is the address after that. Specifies that the data should be aligned and printed at the start position of the line within the specified print area.
The mark "↑" specifies that the address data after that is to be aligned and printed at the end position in the predesignated print area of the line. That is, the delimiter mark "↓" specifies that the address data should be printed on the left side of the postcard set in the printer 19 in the horizontally long state (when it is in the vertically long state, the address data is in the upper state). , Again delimiter
The mark "↑" is right justified address data (justified at the bottom)
It is a mark that specifies that should be printed with. The telephone number is data that is not printed on postcards, and postcards can be printed without this data. Also space code

[Outside 2] By appropriately inserting, it is possible to shift the actual print position to the right by the insertion space even if left-justified printing is designated, and to the left by the insertion space even if right-justified printing is designated.

Operation First, when the postcard print mode designation key PK is operated, the postcard print mode is set. In this postcard printing mode, when the address is input by operating the character keys of the key input unit 11, the address book data corresponding to the address is retrieved from the text memory 13, and the name, postal code, and address are written in the text memory. The data is read from the storage unit 13 and stored in the print data storage unit 14. Then, the contents of the print data storage unit 14 are passed to the print conversion processing unit 15, whereby the print conversion processing unit 15 first operates according to the flow of FIG.
The address in the print data storage unit 14 is converted to the address format and sent to the print buffer 18, and the postcard set in the printer 19 is printed with the address of the destination.

That is, FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the address printing operation. Here, the address printing operation of the address will be specifically described by taking as an example the case where the address for the stored name "Ichiro Yamada" is printed on the postcard as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows an example of printing in this case. As shown in FIG. 2, the address data in this case is divided into five line unit data by delimiter marks. In this embodiment, a series of address data can be divided into a maximum of 5 lines for printing. Further, the address / address printing can print a maximum of 14 characters on the first line and a maximum of characters on the second to fifth lines in a predetermined print area of a predetermined postcard. Therefore, the maximum number of characters per line is 1.
It differs depending on the second line and the second to fifth lines.

<Address Printing on First Line> First, when the printing operation of the destination address is started, the addresses corresponding to the first line and the first digit of the address printing position of the print buffer 18 are designated (step S1), and The address data in the print data storage unit 14 is read for one character from the first character.
(Step S2). In this case, it is checked whether or not the read data is the delimiter marks “↑” and “↓” (steps S3 and S4), and then the address end, that is, the read data indicates the end of the address. Indication mark "," or line break mark

[External 1] is checked (step S5) Now, since the first character of the first line has been read, that character is stored in the designated position of the print buffer 18 (step S6). And the maximum number of characters per line, that is, 1
In the line 1, it is checked whether 14 characters have been stored in the print buffer 18. (Step S7) Since the first character of one line has been stored, the process returns to step S2 and the next character is read. This kind of operation is indicated by the delimiter mark "↑".
Alternatively, the process is repeated until "↓" is read or until the end of the address or the maximum number of characters in the designated line is detected, and the address data is stored character by character in the designated position of the print buffer 18. As a result, the print buffer 18
The address data of the first row is sequentially stored in. When the maximum number of characters is detected in step S7, the character storage processing is prohibited at this point, and the process proceeds to step S30, where the contents of the print buffer 18 are sent to the printer 19 and printed, so that the first line Maximum of 14 characters, maximum of 12 on lines 2-5
Only characters are printed, and characters that exceed it are not printed. Then, after the five characters of the address data "Akishima-shi, Tokyo" of the first line are stored in the print buffer 18, the delimiter mark "↑" is detected next. As a result, the process proceeds to step S8 to check whether the data currently stored in the print buffer 18 is the data of the first line.
Since this is the first line, the process first advances to step S10 to print the data, and the contents of the print buffer 18 are stored in the printer 1.
The address data "Akishima-shi, Tokyo" is printed on the postcard in double size according to the address format (see FIG. 4). In this case, since the address data on the first line from the first digit of the first line area is sequentially printed in the predetermined print area of the destination address for the postcard, which is predetermined, the address data on the first line is It is printed in a form that is packed on the starting side.

<Address printing of the second line> When the address data of the first line is printed on the postcard in this way, the print buffer 1
The address print line 8 is line-feeded to address the next line, and the position lower than the first digit of the first line by two digits is addressed (step S11). Next, the number of characters of the address data on the second line is counted. First, the print conversion processing unit 15
The value of the character counter A provided therein is cleared (step S12), and then the current memory address for the print data storage unit 14 is saved (step S1).
3). After execution of such initialization processing, the next character is read from the print data storage unit 14 (step S
14), which is a delimiter mark or a punctuation mark "," indicating the end of an address or a line feed mark

[External 1] is checked (steps S15 and S16), and if the result is not a delimiter mark, a reading mark, or the like, an increment process (step S17) for incrementing the value of the character counter A by "+1" is performed. It returns to step S14. Such an operation is repeated until a delimiter mark, a reading mark, or the like is detected, and as a result, the number of characters in the second line is set in the character counter A. Since the number of characters in the second line is 7 characters including spaces as shown in FIG. 2, the character counter A has "7".
Is set. When a delimiter mark or a reading mark is detected, the process proceeds to step S18. When the number of characters in the second line is counted, the delimiter mark "↑" is detected next. Here, in the present embodiment, since the second to fifth lines of the address printing can print a maximum of 12 characters, a value obtained by subtracting the count value "7" counted by the character counter A from the maximum print character number "12". "5" is set in the B register in the print conversion processing unit 15, and the space code is sequentially stored from the first digit of the print buffer 18 by "5" for the number of characters in the B register (step S19). Then, the memory address saved in the above step S13 is restored (step S20), the print data storage unit 14 is addressed according to the memory address, and one character is read from the first character of the second line ( In step S21, the print buffer 18 is stored (step S21).
22). Then, after decrementing the value of the character counter A by -1 (step S23), it is checked whether the value becomes "0" (step S24), and the process returns to step S21 until the value becomes "0". The above operation is repeated. As a result, the print buffer 18 starts with a space code of 5 characters from the beginning, followed by "Midorimachi 4
"Chome" is stored, and the space code for two characters is stored next. The content of the print buffer 18 is the printer 1
9, and double-width printing is performed on the second line of the postcard in the address format (step S25). In this case, a space for 5 characters is printed from the beginning of the second line area, "Midorimachi 4-chome" is printed next, and a space for 2 characters is printed at the end. Like 2
The address data of the line is printed with a space for two characters left and padded at the end of the line.

<Address printing of third line> When the address data of the second line is printed in this manner, it is checked whether printing of all five lines of the address is completed (step S26). Here, in the present embodiment, the address data can be printed in a maximum of 5 lines, and step S26 is for detecting this. When the end of printing is detected,
The process exits from this flow and proceeds to the next name printing process. Now, since the printing of the second line has been completed, the process proceeds to step S27, and the line feed / digit position is designated as in step S11. Then, the next character is read from the print data storage unit 14 (step S28), and it is checked whether or not it is the delimiter mark "↑" (step S29). Here, as shown in FIG. 2, since the next character is the delimiter mark "↑", the process proceeds to step S8 again, but since it is not the first line, the process proceeds to step S9, and the previously detected delimiter mark is You can check if it was "↓". Since the previous delimiter mark was ".uparw.", The process advances to step S11 in this case, and the line feed / digit designation of the print buffer 18 is performed. Then, the number of characters "3" of the address data "1-4" on the third line is counted (steps S12 to S17), and the number "9" is obtained by subtracting the number "3" of characters from the maximum number "12" of characters per line. The space code is stored in the print buffer 18 (steps S18 and S19), and then the address data of the third line is stored in the print buffer 18 (steps S20-).
S24). As a result, the address data on the third line is double-width printed in a form packed at the end of the line. In this case, since the address data on the third line is an address, it is automatically converted to Chinese numerals. It is printed (see FIG. 4).

<Address printing on the 4th line> Since the printing of the 3rd line is finished, the next character is read from the print data storage unit 14 after line feed and digit designation are performed in step S27. It is determined whether the delimiter mark is "↑". Since the delimiter mark "↓" is now detected, the process proceeds to step S2, and the following delimiter mark
The address data of the fourth line is sequentially stored in the print buffer 18 until the mark is detected (step S6). And
When all the address data of the fourth line is stored in the print buffer 18, the delimiter mark “↑” is detected next in step S4, and therefore the process proceeds to step S30, and the data stored in the print buffer 18 is stored in the printer 19. And double-width printing is performed on the 4th line. In this case, the address data on the fourth line is printed in a form of being packed on the starting end side of the line.

<Address printing of the fifth line> When the printing of the fourth line is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step S31, where it is determined whether all five lines have been printed. Since it is the end time, after the line feed / digit position is designated in the same manner as described above in step S32, step S32 is performed.
Go to 2. As a result, the address data of the fifth line is sequentially stored in the print buffer 18 until the end of the address is detected in step S5. After that, since the end of the address is detected in step S5, the process proceeds to step S30 and 5
The address data on the line is printed on the fifth line in double-width. In this case, the print data of the 5th line is printed at the beginning of the line, but since the space code of 3 characters from the beginning is inserted in the address data of the 5th line, Is printed with a shift of 3 characters from the start position of the line.

When the address data on the fifth line is printed in this way, the end of printing is detected in step S31, and the flow exits from this flow and shifts to the next name printing process.

In addition, the printing of the name and address of the address is automatically and evenly printed at the quadrangle. In this case, only a maximum of 12 characters are printed and the overwritten characters are not printed. Further, the postal code of the destination is printed in double size. Further, the sender address is printed according to the flow of FIG. 3 described above, but is printed in full-width characters. Also, the sender's name is automatically evenly printed with double-byte characters.

In the above embodiment, the postcard printing has been described, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a postcard. For example, by controlling switching between a postcard and a postcard, the postcard is selectively printed. be able to.
