Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a document editor in which the filing is facilitated by performing the printing while confirming the position of a punch hole through a display means thereby preventing the punching miss. SOLUTION: A margin parameter 1B and a print data 1A are presented on a display means 6 and a margin command 1B is inputted on an input means 1 by means of keys. When a detection means 2 detects a punch command 1C delivered from the input means 1, an area operating means 3 calculates an area 62C where a punch hole 62B can be set automatically based on the margin command 1B for setting the margin corresponding to the size of a paper 8 and the pitch of a line and character of a print data 1A. The calculated area is then displayed at the image display section 62 of a display means 6 and a standard punch hole 62B is displayed at a position centered vertically and horizontally in the punching hole area 62C. When the position of the punch hole 62B is altered, a position setting means 4 alters a punch parameter 41 and a print means 7 performs printing similarly to the image display section 62 of the display means 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document editing device such as a word processor, and more particularly to a document editing device for automatically printing punch holes in printing paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional document editing apparatus (not shown) has no means for setting a punch hole position, and has no means for finely adjusting a punch hole position even if it is equipped with a punching apparatus. The position of the punch hole could not be confirmed on the display means.

[0003]

The conventional document editing apparatus has a problem in that punching a punch hole is not taken into consideration and the user cannot confirm the position of the punch hole on the display means.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a document editing apparatus which prints a punched hole after confirming the punched hole on the display means.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the document editing apparatus of the present invention provides a margin according to the size of the print data and the paper to be printed with this print data, and the above-mentioned printing. Input means for sending a margin command for setting the data line pitch and character pitch, and a punch command for setting a punch hole in the margin, and a detection means for detecting the presence or absence of the punch command sent from the input means, Only when the punching command is detected by the detecting means, the area calculating means for calculating the area of the punch hole based on the margin set by the margin command and the punching parameter based on the preset punching hole position are used. A position setting means for setting a punch hole in the area, a punch hole set by the position setting means, and the margin are designated,
And a format means for designating the line pitch and the character pitch of the print data based on a preset margin parameter, a display means for displaying the punch holes and the print data designated by the format means, and the format means. It is characterized by comprising the punch hole designated by the above and printing means for printing the print data.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a document editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram (A) of a document editing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention and various parameters,
It is a display screen configuration diagram (B) of the print data.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart from print setting to print processing of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the punch hole position calculation processing of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention provides a margin according to the size of the print data 1A and the paper 8 printed with this print data 1A. And the input means 1 for sending the margin command 1B for setting the line pitch and the character pitch of the print data 1A and the punch command 1C for setting the punched holes 62B in the margin, and the punch command 1C sent from the input means 1. And a punching hole 62B based on the margin set by the margin command 1B only when the punching command 1C is detected by the detecting means 2 for detecting the presence or absence of the punching hole 62B.
Area calculating means 3 for calculating the area 62C of No. 6 and position setting means 4 for setting the punch hole 62B in the area 62C based on the punch parameter 41 of the preset punch hole position.
And a format means 5 for designating the punched holes 62B and the margin set by the position setting means 4, and designating the line pitch and the character pitch of the print data 1A based on the preset margin parameter 51, and this format. The display means 6 displays the punched holes 62B designated by the means 5 and the print data 1A, and the printing means 7 prints the punched holes 62B designated by the format means 5 and the print data 1A.

In the operation of the document editing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the current margin parameter 51 and print data 1A as shown in FIG. 1B are displayed on the screen of the display means 6 (step S1), as shown in FIG.
Margin command 1B by key input from input means 1
Is input (step S2).

Thereafter, when the detecting means 2 detects the punch command 1C sent from the input means 1 (step S
3), as shown in FIG. 1B, the area calculating means 3 can set the punch holes from the margin command 1B for setting the margin according to the size of the paper 8, the line pitch and the character pitch of the print data 1A. The punched hole area 62C is automatically calculated (step S4), and the calculated punched hole area 62 is calculated.
C is displayed on the image display portion 62 of the display means 6 (step S5), and the standard punch hole 62B is displayed at a position centered in the vertical and horizontal directions within the punch hole area 62C.

Further, as shown in FIG.
When changing B from the standard punch hole position, the formatting means 5 specifies the margin parameter 51 by the margin command 1B (step S11), and the punch hole area in which the punch hole can be set by the margin parameter 51 and the punch command 1C. 62C is automatically calculated (step S12), the punch parameter 41 is changed by the position setting means 4 (step S13), and every time all the parameters in the formatting means 5 are changed while observing the parameter display portion 61 of the display means 6 ( (Step S14) The print data 1A and the punched hole area 62C in the print data area 62A of the display means 6 are reflected in the image display portion 62 of the display means 6.
The printing means 7 similarly prints the inner punched holes 62B.

[0014]

As described above, according to the document editing apparatus of the present invention, since it is possible to perform printing after confirming the punch hole position on the display means, it is possible to prevent the punch hole from being lost when punching. This has the effect of facilitating the filing process.
