Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a character in concern to be easily found in a document file when correcting a printed character or in other similar occasions, by automatically printing line numbers at predetermined positions when printing a formed document, in a portable-type document-forming device or the like. CONSTITUTION:Characters or the like inputted through a key input part 1 are stored in the document file 2. For example, when printing a document by designating a page of the document as a unit, a printing-controlling part 3 reads the document in terms of JIS codes (a) with each line as a unit, and operates a counter 4 by an increment. When the count reaches, for example, a prescribed multiple of 5, a line number printing command 1 is sent to a printer-controlling part 5, and prior to printing the characters or the like in the relevant line, a printer 6 is controlled to move a printing head to the left and of a paper, the count in the counter 4 indicating the line number is printed, and then the characters or the like in the line are printed. Accordingly, by checking the line numbers printed together with the document, it is possible to find the line number of the line in which a predetermined piece of document is printed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a line number print control processing method, particularly when printing.
The present invention relates to a line number printing control processing method that automatically prints line numbers at predetermined positions.

(Technical background and problems) When creating a document while displaying characters entered from a keyboard, etc. on the display, the column and line being created are shown, and the document creation It is convenient for such things.

However, once a created document is printed, the columns and lines mentioned above are not displayed, so if you want to know the line position of printed characters or the number of lines in one phrase,
There was the inconvenience of having to count the number of lines one by one. Moreover, a portable text creation device cannot be equipped with a large display due to its nature, and generally uses a small display made of a so-called flat panel such as a liquid crystal. Since the small display cannot display many lines of characters at once, it is conceivable to print sequentially every time a -line or several lines are input. However, if the characters are simply printed one after another every time a line or several lines are input, it is impossible to tell which line the characters are in the printed document. For this reason, when making corrections to the printed characters, it is extremely inconvenient to search for the printed characters from document files that have already been created and stored in the form of JIS codes, etc. There was a problem (Object and structure of the invention) The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problem, and to automatically print line numbers at predetermined positions when printing a created document. By adopting this configuration, the line where any character is located can be easily found. Therefore, in the line number printing control processing method of the present invention, which prints line numbers when printing a created document, the line number printing control processing method stores information for printing the number of lines at a prespecified position. a print information storage unit that detects whether or not the lines to be printed correspond to the number of lines to be printed read from the print information storage unit when printing the created document; , and a printer control unit that prints a predetermined number of lines when receiving a notification from the print control unit that a predetermined number of lines should be printed.

(Example of the invention) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of a document creation device using the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a key input unit, 1-1 is a keyboard, 1-2 is a keyboard control unit, 2 is a document file, 3 is a print control unit, 4 is a counter, 5 is a printer control unit, 6 is a printer,
7 represents a screen control unit, and 8 represents a display.

In FIG. 1, characters and the like inputted manually from the key input section 1 are stored in a document file 2. In FIG.

Then, when printing a pattern, for example, when specifying and printing a document page by page, the print control unit reads out the document line by line from the document file 2 in the form of an IS code and increments the counter 4. . If the result of incrementing the counter 4 is, for example, a multiple of "5" designated in advance, the printer controller 5 is notified of an illustrated line number print command (3). As a result, the printer control unit 5 issues a command to the printer 6, for example, to move the print head to the left edge of the paper before printing the characters, etc. on the line, and changes the value of the counter 4 indicating the number of lines to the character ( (including numbers). Then, the printer control section 5
causes the printer 6 to print the line number, and then sequentially supplies characters, etc. for one line to the printer 6 and prints them based on the document data print command (3) notified from the print control section 3.

In this way, since the line numbers specified in advance are automatically printed, the number of lines in which a given document is written can be easily found by looking at the line numbers printed with the document.

FIG. 2 shows an overall configuration diagram, and the document file 2 in the figure is the same as that shown in FIG. It is used to convert the data into a format and store it in the form of a document. In addition, characters etc. entered manually from the keyboard 1-1 are supplied to the screen control section 7 via the keyboard control section 1-2, and a dot pattern is generated using a character generator built in the screen control section 7. The image is expanded and displayed on the display 8. As the display 8, a liquid crystal or the like is used, for example, and a small display displays one to several lines of characters.

When printing a document stored in the document file 2 in the form of JIS code, as described above, the print control unit 3 checks when the number of lines to which the characters, etc. read per line belong is equal to the number of lines specified in advance in the counter 4. If so, the printer control section 5 is notified of the line number printing command ■. Thereby, the printer control section 5 reads out a dot pattern corresponding to the line number from the character generator built in the screen control section 7, and drives the printer 6 to print the predetermined line number.

Figure 3 (A) shows an example of the created document, and Figure 3 (B)
Figure 3 (
A) Shows a printed version of the illustrated document.

3(A) is a created document, and the number of digits (■), the number of lines, the number of pages, etc. (not shown) are displayed on the display along with the document as shown. The document ■ displayed on the display is stored in the document file 2 in the form of JIS code. At this time, the number of digits, number of lines, etc. displayed on the display are stored separately from the document (2), and the number of digits, number of lines, etc. displayed on the display are not printed.

3(B) is a printed document, and the number of illustrated lines (■) is automatically printed along with the document on paper. The printing of the number of lines (■) is performed based on the desired illustrated print command (■) inputted from the key manual section 1 at the time of the print command. The print command (■) has an initial value of "5", an interval of "5", and a digit position of "2". This means that the number of lines is printed at the digit position "2" every five lines from the initial value of the 5th line. In other words, the corresponding line numbers are automatically printed in the second digit position of the 5th line, 10th line, 15th line, and so on. Even if a document is to be printed at the position to be printed, the number of lines is printed preferentially. With this, by looking at the number of lines printed in a document, it is possible to easily know which line's characters, etc. should be corrected.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart illustrating the operation when sequential printing is performed. The sequential printing is to print a document in a line ζ that is no longer displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal display, for example, when the human labor for one line is finished.

In the figure, ■ indicates a state in which one line is processed; for example, when one line of characters, etc. is input from the key input section 1, printing processing for one line is executed.

In the figure, the value stored in the row counter (counter 4) is 5.
Indicates a state in which it is determined whether or not the value corresponds to a multiple of . YES
In this case, execute the following in state [phase].

In the case of NO, execute the following in state ■. Incidentally, as described above, a desired value of the row counter can be input in advance from the key input section 1.

In the figure, [phase] indicates the state in which line numbers are printed. This indicates a state in which, as described above, a dot pattern corresponding to the number of lines stored in the line counter is read from the character generator built in the screen control unit 7 and automatically printed at a predetermined position. .

■ in the figure indicates a state in which the row counter is updated. This indicates a state in which the line counter is incremented or decremented in order to perform a line feed in the forward direction or a line feed in the reverse direction.

In the figure, @ indicates a line break state. This indicates a state in which preparations are made for creating a document on the next line or the previous line. Then, by repeating the steps from state ① again, it is possible to sequentially print documents manually input from the key input unit 1 and to automatically print the number of lines at predetermined line positions.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, when printing a created document, line numbers are automatically printed at predetermined positions. You can easily know the number of lines where the line is located by looking at the input document, and if the input document is printed line by line sequentially, you can easily see the number of lines where the line is located. By looking at the document, the user can easily determine the position of the line where the input is being made.
