Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize the place positions of each line by a space simply, in the case the proof copy is printed, by inserting the space in enery specified printing region in printing one line. CONSTITUTION:When a printer 7 starts printing a printing pattern which is stored in a character control device 6 based on a head start signal C from a control device 3, a counter 8 counts a dot number, outputs a signal J at every 24 times (printing for one character) to a counter 12. When the counter 12 becomes a specified number (e.g. 5), a switching device 11 is switched to a space control device 10 by a counter 9. A head is moved without printing until the counter 9 counts a specified number (e.g. 12 dots). After the space is formed, the switching device 11 is swithced to the character control device 6 by a signal F from the counter 9, the counters 8 and 12 are cleared, and the operation described above is repeated.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a printing method for a manuscript for proofreading.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a printing method for a proofreading document that allows easy confirmation of character positions displayed on the document.

Conventionally, +: v '5c Chapter calibration method uses input device 4
Print out the character information such as letters and numbers entered on the printer to create a manuscript for Kai. 2. Mark in red the letters and numbers that require proofreading, and then write the text based on the proofread manuscript. Creating. To specify the letters, numbers, etc. marked in red in this proofreading box, you must specify the line and digit position of the red mark.

In other words, in the past, as shown in Figure 1, the numbers corresponding to the lines were printed sequentially at the beginning of the line, making it easy to check the line position, but VC characters, numbers, etc. were printed consecutively every two lines. No, to check the 2-digit position, you must count the letters, numbers, etc. from the beginning of the line, or check the digit position by placing a cursor ruler with numbers marked on it corresponding to the pitch of the printed letters, numbers, etc. Therefore, the former method has fewer errors at the beginning of a line or a few characters below the column, but there are many errors at the middle of a line, and the latter method has the drawback of requiring an extra mechanism such as a cursor sliding mechanism.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and proposes four printing methods that can easily confirm the positions of letters, numbers, etc. printed on a proofreading manuscript. Let me explain. Normally, the dots that display kanji characters are represented by 24x24 dots, j, as shown in Figure 2.The 9 characters, which are represented by such dots, are written as A desired proofreading manuscript is obtained by printing sequentially.A perforated tape reading device 2 reads ', f' from a perforated tape 1 into which sentences created using an input device (not shown) have been input.
The character code for one line is read in by the perforated tape read signal from the fi control device 6. The character code for one line read from the perforated tape is read in sequentially by the character pattern reading device 4. The character pattern stored in the magnetic disk memory 5 is converted into a character pattern, and the converted character pattern is applied to the two-character control device 6.The character pattern reading device 4 converts the character code for -digits into the character pattern. When the conversion is completed, an exchange completion signal iB is sent to the control device 3.

When the conversion end signal B is applied to the sterilization device 3.

At the same time, stamp the printer 7 with the number C, and stamp the counter 8 that counts the dots of letters and the counter 9 that counts the dots of spaces (star 1, signal line, and clear signal E). Counter 9 is a switching device value 11 that selects and switches between the 1 character control device 6 and the space it control device 10 by a clear signal.
The signal F for selecting the 2-character control device 6 is activated, and the overflow of the counter 8 is cleared by the signal G, thereby clearing the counter 12 for counting the number of 2 characters.

By the above operations, the initial state of the head of the printer 7 at star 1 is set.

Next, the start signal from the control device is applied to the counter 8, so that the counter 8 is transferred to the switching device 11.
A signal 1 is applied to the character control device through the 2-character control device 6. The character pattern for one digit applied from the character pattern reading device 4 is sent to the printer 7 through the 24-dot output device 13. do. The head of the printer 7 to which the character Bakun is applied sequentially prints the character pattern,
When the counter 8 counts 24 times (-characters are printed), an overflow signal is sent from the counter 8, and ■ is the counter 1.
2, and it is counted that the character pattern for one character has been printed. When the counter 12 repeats this operation and counts a desired number (5 in this embodiment), the counter 12 sends a signal to the counter 9 to send the signal G and the signal F.

As a result, the counter 9 sends out a signal F for switching the switching device 11 to the space control device 10. Here, the counter 8 receives a signal I (from the switching device 11) from the space control device 10 via the 24-dot output device 13 to move the head of the printer 7 without printing. After counting the desired number (12 in this example), the counter 5--9 immediately sets the switching device 11 to the character-- by 3':ll'.
Switching to the control device 6, the signal G clears the counter 12, and the counter 80 overflow is cleared. The above two operations are repeated to print the text, and when printing of the - line is completed, the lines are sequentially changed to obtain a proofreading manuscript. (See FIG. 4) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the column position of each line can be easily recognized by the space.

This allows the position of the x character marked in red on the proofreading manuscript to be reliably grasped.

Note 1: If the present invention is a dot type printer.

The character is not limited to 24×24 dots, but other dots are also possible, and the number of dots set as spaces and the number of characters included in the print area can also be set arbitrarily.
