It specifies the situation.

The paper display section 2 outputs a paper length display line V and paper width display line H on the display surface, and the input section 1 also outputs these based on the input paper size, print pitch, etc. . In this case, for example, the length of the paper width display line H and the interval between the printing pitch scales change depending on the paper size and printing pitch, and are 114.

The pointer display unit 5 outputs pointers P, , P, respectively, based on the line position indication value 1 and the digit position indication value transmitted from the input unit 1. P, is output to a predetermined position.

The memory 4 is for storing sentences to be created by a word processor, and is inputted from the input section 1 and contains 1 in a circle.
The kanji characters converted into kanji characters by a kanji conversion unit (not shown) are stored.

The display control unit 5 performs six types of control for displaying on the CBr 4, and includes a 2-line display control circuit 5.
-1. This 2-line display control circuit 5-1 is connected to the 2-line display control circuit 5-1 indicated by the KX mark below the paper width display line H on the display surface E.
This is a simple display of the characters in a row using the hut characters. Here, the line below indicates the line currently being input, and the line L' above it indicates the state of image quality.

It operates as a CRT6h display,
A display as shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the display screen.

゛The first storage unit 7 stores a print start line instruction value indicating which line from the top of the paper the print start line is. .

The second storage unit 8 stores a print start digit instruction value indicating which digit from the left edge of the paper the print start digit corresponds to, and the print start digit instruction value of jin is input from the input unit 1. .

The first selector 9 is a selector that holds data stored in the first storage section 7 using a signal C.

This signal C is used to hold the printing start line instruction data stored in the first storage section 7 and send it to the printer control section 12 before printing one page of data created by Tsusa on the word printer O-. This is a timing signal to notify the As a result, the printer 15 performs a line break for the specified number of lines prior to printing.

The second selector 10 is a selector that holds data outputted from the adder 11 and indicating the actual print start digit on the paper using a signal d. This signal dhiro indicates the number of digits in the left margin of the paper before printing each line.
This is a timing signal to notify the This causes the printer 13 to print only the designated number of digits before printing each line.

Here, the adder 11 inputs printing start digit instruction data stored in the second storage section 8, that is, data indicating the position of the pointer P, and the start digit position of the characters in each line of the system area W. This is to add the data. If the character starting column position of the system area W is zero, the character starting position of each line in the system area W is POI/RIP.

K is instructed to move to the 9th position. However, for the sake of space management, there are many people who actually set up Hiroko's starting position.

Printer control unit 12 controls printing of the Hiro printer 15, and includes print start line instruction data and print start digit instruction data transmitted from the first selector 9 and second selector 10, respectively, and print start column instruction data transmitted from the input unit 1. Based on the printing pitch, a control operation is performed so that the data held in the memory 4 is outputted by the printer 15.

Next, the operation shown in FIG. 2 will be explained.

■First, input the paper size and print pitch on the input section 1. Based on this K, the paper display section 2 outputs signals of a paper width display line H and a paper length display line (■) to the display control section 5 in accordance with the paper width. Thus, as shown in FIG.
IH and paper length display line V are displayed. Next, input section 1
Input the line position instruction value and digit position instruction value indicating the starting position of printing 6. Thereby, the gongyo position instruction value and the digit position instruction value line are stored in the first storage section 7sP and the second storage section 8, respectively. Furthermore, these line position instruction values and digit position instruction values inputted from the input section 1 are transmitted to the line pointer display section 3. From this k, an instruction signal is transmitted to the display control unit 5 to display the pointer P at the position specified by the line position instruction value and to display the pointer P at the 9th position specified by the digit position instruction value. , from this K, the display control unit 5 changes the pointer P1. Display P at the specified position.

Next, the operator inputs the desired characters, symbols, etc. to be printed on the paper printer 1s through the input section 1. This input character set is held in the main memory 94, held in the memory 4, and the 9 character set is transmitted to the display control section 5. Thus CRT
In the system area WK of the display surface E of No. 4, the input character styles are displayed in sequence. At this time, the input character lines are omitted from the illustration as necessary, and are converted into kanji by the nine-kana-kanji converter and stored in the memory 4, so that the kanji characters jin and k are displayed.
Become. When characters are inputted one after another from the input unit 1 in this way, the input characters are displayed in the system area WK as 11 on the first line, 13 on the second line, and so on. Konoto! The two-line display control circuit 5-1 prints the first line of the message to be printed on the printer 13' and the previous line L' with small characters X.
A pointer indicating the actual digit position is displayed below the crow. After storing the predetermined characters, etc. in the printer 4 by pressing K in this way, if the input unit 1 also presses the print command line, the print signal P is applied to the printer control unit 12, and the printer control unit 12 So! J41'l: Controls the printer 15 so that it prints the stored characters, etc.

At this time, the printing pitch is also transmitted to the input unit 1 first, and the data held in the first storage unit 7 and instructing the line to start printing in circles is transmitted to the printer control unit 12 via the first selector 9. Data held in the second storage section 8 and indicating the good print start digit is transmitted to the printer control section 12 via the adder 11 and the second selector 10. Note that when the value is right, the other input of the adder 11 is zero. In this way, the printer 15 prints on the paper at the position specified by the printers Pl, P.

For space management purposes, when printing by moving the digit further to the right than the digit indicated by pointer P1 by D,
This D is input from the input section 1. From this K, adder 11
The adder 11 adds this shift value to the digit position designation value of the pointer P1 outputted from the second storage section 8 and outputs the added value, and transmits the result to the second selector 10. , is further applied to the printer control unit 12. Therefore, when this movement value is applied to the adder 11, the print position will be moved accordingly.

Next, referring to FIG. 6, a description will be given of the case where such a screen display method is used to print output characters on a small sheet of paper such as a postcard.

Normally word processor printers are configured to be able to set/set d, A4 or B5 paper of a specified size. /I can't do it. Therefore, it was an IS problem to print on something like this. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the display surface IK
Paper width display Iw1. A horizontal line 15 and a vertical line 16 corresponding to the paper length display line V are displayed, and this horizontal 7I! ! A scale indicating the digit position is attached to 15, and a scale indicating the line position is attached to the vertical line 16. Then, a transparent or translucent cover 18 is attached to the upper end or the enlarged side end of this auxiliary mount 14. This cover 1B is composed of a thin celluloid etc. made of good quality paper, and the central part is made of a drug-resistant material 1 fixed on an auxiliary mount 14.
9 has been removed to allow printing. therefore,
As shown in Figure 5 -IK, this auxiliary mount 14Kli book 1
9 is fixed, the printing range becomes clear from its horizontal l11S and vertical line 14, so by positioning the pointers Pl and Pl accordingly and inputting the turning point, Characters can be printed accurately.

(6) As described in the detailed description of the invention, according to the present invention, it is possible to display in advance on the display gray surface the paper position and the target area to be printed, so that the operator can print from the word processor printer. Before printing, it is possible to determine the state in which the paper will be printed. Therefore, since the printing condition can be known without trial printing, there is no need to trial printing, and the processing speed can be increased.

Moreover, since the two lines are separately displayed in the actual printing state, it is possible to check the state in which the data will be printed while inputting the data.

Furthermore, it is possible to indicate the appropriate printing range by using an auxiliary mount with a 4-print scale displayed on small paper such as postcards, which cannot normally be used. Even if you use a word processor, you can print the paper in the exact position you want.
