Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] To print Gothic characters, insert the Gothic font card 1A into the font card insertion portion 20 of the printer 2 from the socket connector 10 side.
Internal circuit of printing device 2 and Gothic font card 1A
The internal circuit of is electrically connected. At the same time, when it is desired to print Mincho fonts, the Mincho font card 1B is inserted into the pin connector 11 of the Gothic font card 1A from the socket connector 10 side. [Effect] When the memory card is used as the font card of the printing apparatus, the fonts of plural kinds of font cards can be printed simultaneously, and when the memory card is used as the external storage memory, the memory capacity can be increased. it can.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a memory card used in an information processing device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional memory card has a connector for connecting to an information processing device only at one end.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With this conventional memory card, only one memory card could be attached if the device had only one memory card insertion part. Therefore, when the memory card is used as an external storage memory, the memory capacity is limited. Also, when used as a font card in a printing device, only one type of font card can be installed, so there is the drawback that the memory card must be replaced when printing the fonts of another font card.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The memory card of the present invention has a first connector that is connected to an information processing device at one end and a second connector that can be fitted to the first connector at the other end. There is.

[0005]

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the memory card of the present invention.

The socket connector 10 is mounted on one end of the memory card main body 1 and the pin connector 11 is mounted on the other end thereof, and the socket connector 10 and the pin connector 11 have a matable structure.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of use of the memory card of the present invention, which is used as a font card of a printing apparatus.

A Gothic font CGROM is built in the Gothic font card 1 A, and a Mincho font CGROM is built in the Mincho font card 1 B. If you want to print Gothic characters, insert the Gothic font card 1A into the font card insertion part 20 of the printer 2 from the socket connector 10 side, and the internal circuit of the printer 2 and the internal circuit of the Gothic font card 1A Is electrically connected and can read Gothic CGROM data to print Gothic characters. At the same time, if it is desired to print characters in Mincho font as well, the Mincho font card 1B is inserted into the pin connector 11 of the Gothic font card 1A from the socket connector 10 side. When the pin connector 11 and the socket connector 10 are fitted together, the internal circuit of the Mincho font card 1B is electrically connected to the internal circuit of the printing device 2 via the internal circuit of the Gothic font card 1A. It is possible to read the data of CGROM and print the characters of Mincho type.

Further, by fitting the pin connector 11 and the socket connector 10, the two font cards 1A and 1B are mechanically connected to each other, and the two font cards are removed from the printing device 2 to remove the two font cards. It can be carried as a unit.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the memory card of the present invention, a plurality of memory cards can be simultaneously attached to the information processing device. Therefore, when the memory card is used as a font card of a printing device, a plurality of types of font cards can be The fonts can be printed at the same time, and when the memory card is used as an external storage memory, the memory capacity can be increased by installing a memory card of arbitrary capacity in combination with the device.
