Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a printer device, which realizes high speed print by varying a print start position at every print line. SOLUTION: Both formatting data 11 and line feed data sent out of a host system 1 are stored in a storing means 2. When a controlling means 4 firstly receives line feed data stored in the storing means 2, the print starting position of a first print line is set by the parameter of a table 3 and printing is started at a print head 5. After that, when the printing of the first print line is finished and the controlling means 4 receives the line feed data 12, the print start position of a second print line is set by the parameter of the table 3. By repeating the same process as mentioned above, print start positions of respective print lines are set to the print head 5 for printing.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printer device, and more particularly to a printer device that changes the print start position for each print line to perform printing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional printer device (not shown) prints a plurality of formatted data, each of which has a predetermined number of print data sent from a host system, as a print line, and prints the formatted data in units of one line. Each time it was sent, the print head was moved to a fixed print start position for printing.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional printer device, since the print start position for each print line is fixed, the actual print start position is changed every time the print head moves and returns. The shift occurs, and the shift of the print start position is a wasteful operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a printer device that performs high-speed printing by changing the print start position for each print line.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the printer device of the present invention includes formatted data in which a plurality of predetermined number of print data are formed as print lines, and the formatted data. A host system that sends line feed data that feeds a new line to a print line, a storage unit that stores the formatted data and line feed data that are sent from this host system, and print by the formatted data and line feed data that are stored in this storage unit. A print head to be executed, a table for setting a parameter of a print start position for each print line of the formatted data stored in the storage means, and a print line corresponding to each line feed data sent from the host system. And a control means for controlling the print head by setting the print head to a print start position according to the parameter. That.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a printer device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a printer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a printing conceptual diagram of a printer device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a printer device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes formatted data 11 for forming a plurality of predetermined number of print data as print lines, and a print formed on the formatted data 11. Line break data 12 that breaks a line
And a host system 1 for transmitting the
The storage means 2 for storing the formatted data 11 and the line feed data 12 sent from the storage means 2, the print head 5 for printing with the formatted data 11 and the line feed data 12 stored in the storage means 2, and the storage means 2 Table 3 for setting the parameters of the print start position for each print line of the formatted data 11 and the line feed data 12 from the host system 1.
Control unit 4 that controls the printing by setting the print head 5 to the print start position and printing by the parameter corresponding to each print line.

Next, the operation of the printer according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the operation of the printer according to the embodiment of the present invention is such that the formatted data 11 and the line feed data 12 sent from the host system 1 are stored in the storage means 2, and this storage means is used. When the control means 4 first receives the line feed data 12 stored in No. 2, the print start position of the first print line is set by the parameter of the table 3 and the print head 5 starts printing.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first
After the printing of the print line of the
Is received, the print start position of the second print line is set by the parameters of the table 3 and the print head 5 starts printing, and the same process is repeated, and the print head 5 is set by the parameters corresponding to each print line. Set to the print start position and print.

[0013]

As described above, according to the printer device of the present invention, printing is performed by changing the print start position for each print line, so that the print start position is changed each time the print head moves and returns. There is an effect that high-speed printing is performed by eliminating the misalignment, eliminating the wasteful operation due to the misalignment of the print start position.
