Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize easy postal card address printing by storing character groups corresponding to writing items on an address surface to a storage means, controlling the position of printing on the address surface of a postal card for every writing item and printing corresponding character groups. CONSTITUTION:When the address printing of a postal card is specified, a program 13 for address printing which is stored in a memory 12 is started and a CPU11 reads codes of character groups to be printed out of a floppy disk 18. Then, dot patterns corresponding to the codes are transferred to a buffer area 14, item by item, corresponding to the layout of the writing items on the address surface of the postal card. The data is sent, line by line, to the printer 19, and a printing head while moved is supplied with data on dot patterns corresponding to its position to print the dot patterns. Thus, the address printing of the postal card is performed easily.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a postcard printing method using a word processor, and more particularly to a postcard address printing method.

fbl Prior Art and Problems - Some modern word processors are equipped with a print function as one of their printing functions. If this postcard printing is specified, the current document can be printed on a postcard. However, in order to print the postal code, address, address, etc. on the address side (front side) of a postcard (hereinafter referred to as address printing), the document must be created with these layouts in mind, and it is not always necessary to I can't say it's practical.

(C1 Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to provide a postcard printing method using a word processor that can easily print addresses.

(d+ Structure of the Invention The present invention is characterized by a word processor having a storage means for storing a group of characters to be printed, and a means for printing the character group stored in the storage means on a predetermined paper according to a specified print mode. A means for setting address printing on a postcard as the printing mode for 1 hour is provided, and a group of characters is stored in the storage means corresponding to the notation items on the address side, and the printing mode is set to printing the address on the postcard. is specified, the printing position on the address side of the postcard is controlled for each notation item, and the corresponding character group is printed.

tel　Embodiments of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a flowchart showing the execution procedure of an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 (al is a diagram showing the storage format of a group of characters on a storage medium such as a floppy disk, FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a printing situation when printing an address on the address side of the printer.

Further, FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the word processor used in this embodiment. In the figure, 11 is a central processing unit (CPU), 12 is a storage device (memory), 13 is a postcard address printing program stored in the memory 12,
14 is a buffer area, 15 is a keyboard (input device),
16 is a cathode ray tube (output device), 17 is a floppy disk drive device, 18 is a storage medium which is a floppy disk in this embodiment, and 19 is a printer.

In this embodiment, a pre-created address printing program 13 is stored in the memory 12, and a second address printing program 13 is stored in the memory 12.
Create the address data to be printed as shown in figure (al),
Store it in a floppy disk 18 or the like. When creating the address data, there is no need to consider these layouts, and it is sufficient to simply record the content to be printed for each notation item. The layout for each notation item is determined by the printer 19 by the address printing program 13 during actual printing.
control and decide.

In this way, for actual printing, first specify printing of the address on the postcard [1 in Figure 1].

Then, the address printing program 13 stored in the memory 12 is started, and the CP is printed according to this program.
The UII reads the code of the character group to be printed [Fig. 2 (see 81)] stored in the floppy disk 18 [2 in Fig. 1].Then, the dot pattern corresponding to the above code is read as shown in Fig. 2 (see 81). Corresponding to the layout of each notation item on the address side of the postcard shown in b), each notation item is developed in the buffer area 14 [3 in Figure 1].The dot pattern developed on this buffer area 14 is data 1
Cut out each line and send it to the printer 19.
While moving the print head 9 (not shown), data of a dot pattern corresponding to that position is sequentially applied to the print head to perform printing [4 in FIG. 1]. In this way, printing is performed in the order indicated by arrow A in FIG. 2(b), and the addressee is printed as desired.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment shows an example in which the postcard is printed using the horizontal printing method, it is also possible to print the postcard horizontally using the vertical printing method, as shown in FIG.

Note that the document storing addresses, etc. used in the above embodiment may be one specially created for implementing the present invention, or may be a customer list created in the course of the current business process. It is possible.

('') As described in detail, according to the present invention, there is no need to consider the layout at the time of printing, it is only necessary to specify the print content corresponding to the notation items, and it is easy to address the postcard using a word processor. You can print.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a word processor comprising a storage means for storing a group of characters to be printed, and a means for printing the character group stored in the storage means on a predetermined paper according to a specified print mode, the print mode includes address printing on a postcard. In addition to storing a specifying means, a group of characters is stored in the storage means corresponding to the notation items on the address side, and when postcard address printing is specified as the print mode, the postcard is printed for each of the notation items. A postcard printing method using a word processor, characterized in that the printing position on the address side of the card is controlled to print a corresponding group of characters.
