Abstract
Description
【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明はｒＩ（ビデオデーメターミナル）用のキャラク
タジェネレータ（ＣＧ）とプリンタ用のＣＧを共通化し
て使用することを対象としてｉるＶＤｒとプリンタとで
共通のＣＧを用いる場合、プリンタではこのＣＧを主に
プログラム処理により縦横の変換を行っている。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to use a character generator (CG) for an rI (video terminal) and a CG for a printer in common. When used in a printer, this CG is mainly converted vertically and horizontally through program processing.
プログラム的に処理を行うため処理速度が遅くなる。従
来のプリンタでは印字速度が比較的遅いためそれほど問
題とはならないが、プリンタの印字速度の高速化及び印
字の高密度化が進むとプログラム的な処理では処理速度
が追いつかなくなってしまう。Processing speed is slow because processing is done programmatically. With conventional printers, the printing speed is relatively slow, so this is not much of a problem, but as the printing speed of printers increases and the density of printing increases, program-based processing cannot keep up with the processing speed.
本発明の目的はＶＤＴ’とプリンタとで共通のＣＧを使
用可能とし、また従来の方法による処理速度の点での問
題を解決し将来の高速、高印字品質の漢字プリンタへの
適用を考慮したものである。The purpose of the present invention is to enable the use of a common CG between a VDT' and a printer, and also to solve problems in terms of processing speed caused by conventional methods, with consideration given to application to future high-speed, high-printing-quality Kanji printers. It is something.

るようｋする。The Kanji CG storage device is an 8x32 array of four bits, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, two types of addressing for this storage device, vertical and horizontal, can be selected using a selector.

次に実＃ＩＫ漢字プリンタ内のＣＧ用記憶装置に上位機

ＣＧの内容を漢字プリンタに印字するまでの過程を説明
する。Next, we will explain the process from when a CG font is written into the CG storage device in the actual #IK kanji printer from the host model to when the contents of the written CG are printed on the kanji printer.

、Ｏ番地から順々に記憶装置に書き込んでいく。First of all, the content of the CG font sent from the higher-end model is n.
In accordance with the scanning of π, one character of 24 x 24 CG font is divided horizontally and sent in the order of K 1, 2.5, etc. for each byte as shown in Figure 5. The kanji printer selects horizontal addressing for this sent 〇〇 font as shown in Figure 4, and prints it as BMKO.

たＣＧの内容を横方向の分割から縦方向の分割忙変換す
るための処理が必要となる。When printing the written CG content on a Kanji printer, the pin arrangement of the printer head is arranged vertically, so it is necessary to divide the CG font vertically into nine parts as shown in FIG. Processing is required to convert the contents of the CG written into the ninth CG storage device WtK from horizontal division to vertical division.

の゛縦横変換の処理が完了する。To explain this processing method, the 7-dressing of the CG storage device is set to vertical addressing as shown in Figure 3, and the contents of the CG font are read out in 8-byte order from the beginning. The settings are made in the vertical/horizontal conversion circuit shown in Figure 7. This vertical/horizontal conversion circuit consists of an 8.times.8 matrix, and is divided into nine horizontally when writing, and vertically when writing. When the CG font is extracted from the vertical/horizontal conversion circuit, the process of vertical/horizontal conversion of the CG font is completed.
