Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled apparatus which enables the making of punched holes at an appropriate position of a recording in connection to any of a vertically-long-size recorder or a laterally-long-size recorder by varying the direction of rotation depending on the paper feeding direction, vertially-long way or laterally-long way. CONSTITUTION:Various data are taken into a ring buffer 2 through an interface 1 and stored into a page memory 3. When a command of rotation is given after a print data for one page is taken into the page memory 3, the print data is stored into a save page memory 4 corresponding to rotation. Dot information is outputted from a character generator 7 based on the contents of a line buffer 6 and fed into a recorder through an interface 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printing control device that performs portrait or loading on input information, converts it into information, and outputs the information to a recording device.

There are two types of recording devices: one with a vertical paper feeding direction (with the long side of rectangular recording paper parallel to the paper feeding direction) and one with a horizontal paper feeding direction (with rectangular recording paper with the long side parallel to the paper feeding direction). There is a flat short side, and printing on the recording paper in this recording device is performed in a direction perpendicular to the paper feeding direction.

Figure 1 shows the printing in this case.
is printed when the paper feeding direction is set at the set length [-, Fig. 1 (
1-+) is η゛, which indicates printing by paper whose feeding direction is horizontally elongated.

By the way, during actual recording, there often arises a case where it is desired to perform printing parallel to the paper feeding direction. Therefore, conventionally, when such a need arises, the printing control device performs the roller rotation. In other words, in the printing control device of the printer (hereinafter referred to as the 11-length recording device 6) whose direction is vertically elongated, FIG.
Similarly, in the case of a recording device whose paper feed direction is horizontal (hereinafter referred to as a horizontal recording device) and printing control = l;-Ff, Fig. 1 (a) is changed from Fig. 2 (IN). (7)
The sea urchin is printed in °C. In this way, the conventional printing control device does not have a leap line in the 917L long recording device and the horizontal recording device. 90 degrees in the old direction or 906 rotations in the anti-Tokita no J direction. For example, in both a vertically long recording device and a horizontally long recording device, rotation of 90° in the grain direction is performed by fj.
In the case of vertical recording, the problem is (113 In the case of character τ no air, the bump holes are 11!I!Glue! in Figures 1 (A) and 2 (A);
l'("TeaspoonI'I") However, the position of the punch hole in Fig. 2 (A) is the opposite of the normal case, and the horn 1. On the other hand, in order to solve this problem, it is also possible to punch holes after realigning the direction of the recording paper. , this is time-consuming and troublesome.Furthermore, there are many cases in which printing is done on recording paper that already has punched holes, but in this case, it is not possible to solve the problem in V. In addition, both the vertical recording device P and the horizontal recording device
When performing a 90° rotation in one direction,
It is clear from the above explanation that there is a problem with printing when using the printer.

The present invention has been made in view of the points mentioned in -1- above, and its purpose is to provide a file suitable for printing regardless of whether it is connected to a vertically oriented recording device or a horizontally oriented recording device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing control device capable of recording by punching holes at certain positions.

The printing control device of the present invention that achieves this object records 0ζ depending on whether the paper feeding direction of the recording device is vertical or horizontal.
27. Preferably, when the paper feeding direction of the recording device is vertical, the rotation direction is a rotation of 90° in the force direction by an inverse n; 5 it direction. , and if the paper feeding direction of the recording device is landscape, CAL, the low digital

Various arcs are taken into the ring buffer 2 through the interno and the r-chair 1, which exchange data with external devices such as data 81: lt, and are taken into the ring buffer 2. The print data (b) is interpreted as J1', r to page memory 3.

On the other hand, when a landscape recording device is connected, the data in FIG. 1 (1'') is transferred to FIG. 2 (I:l). It should be noted that a number of methods have been proposed for loading pudding 1 data. For example,
No. 4-30830, JP-A No. 54-30831,
Although Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 147787/1987 etc., any method may be used as the Noshi 1 Dijon method in the present invention.

From page memory 3 containing one page's worth of pudding 1-data or save page memory/l (if there is a rotary John's :]man 1~, such as (front) and ho), to line baratuno/6, Print data is sent line by line. When the contents of this line buffer 6 are blocked, dot information is output from the character generator 7,
Information to the drive 1 is supplied to the recording device via an interface 5.

As soon as the output of one line of printer information is completed, the printer information for the next line is stored in the line buffer 6, and this print data is Then, when the output of dot information for one page is completed, the recording operation for the next page is started.

In addition, when the vertical recording device is connected to the printing control device that has the above configuration and operation, as shown in Fig. 1 (A).
Or, when printing is done at θ11 as shown in Fig. 4 and a landscape recording device is connected, printing as shown in Fig. 1 (A) or Fig. 2 (A) is made at 41''. If the punch holes are located at the same position as R'rR, no problem will occur even when using recording paper that has punched holes in advance.

In the above embodiment, information on the paper feeding direction of the recording device is obtained from the output signal between the recording stations. A changeover switch may be provided to cover the input, and the switch may also be switched depending on the paper feeding direction yj of the recording apparatus.

However, in this case, a person must change the changeover switch depending on the recording device to be connected, which is a little more troublesome than the above-mentioned embodiment.
