Here, the operation of one embodiment will be explained with reference to the above figures.

When inputting a sentence containing kanji, the key input signal from the keyboard 30 is converted into kana-kanji under the control of the CPU 11 in the Si 20, and is stored in the document buffer 141 in the RAM 14. At this time, the CPU 11
A scan signal is output to the keyboard 30 via the decoder 12 and the decoder 13, and the return signal is input to the PP 112 to perform key discrimination and generate a key code. Furthermore, the dictionary in ROM 15, and further R
After indexing the provisional dictionary in AM 14 and performing kana-kanji conversion processing, the input character code string including the converted kanji code is stored in document buffer 141.

During the document input described above, the input characters stored in the document buffer 141 are sequentially developed into patterns on the line image buffer 140 under the control of the CPUII, and the display control of the LCD control circuit 17 and the display of the LCD driver 51 are performed. A maximum of 0 digits are displayed and output on the LCD 50 by the drive.

The already inputted document thus input can be arbitrarily displayed as a character string of up to nine characters on the LCD 50 by operating the cursor keys, and can be used for proofreading, correction, etc. of the document.

If you want to perform various character modifications such as whiteout, rotation/italics, font size, line break pitch, character spacing, or stop printing on a line-by-line basis for the above input document, you would like to do so. Select and display the character string at the line position using the cursor keys, and use the combination of the [Function] key and another specific key to select [Gyoshu 1! ! ] key operation to specify line decoration.

When the CPU 11 determines that the E line modification] key has been operated, the CPU 11 switches the display mode of the LCD 50 from the document display mode to the line modification display mode. The situation is shown in Figure 4. FIG. 4(a) shows the display state in the document display mode, and FIG. 4(b) shows the initial display state after switching to the line modification display mode by operating the [Line modification] key. . Here, a selection screen for selecting the character amount interval is first displayed.

In this line modification display mode, the selection screen is switched by operating the cursor keys in the up and down directions, and items are selected by specifying the cursor by operating the cursor keys in the left and right directions.

For example, when the selection screen for selecting the presence or absence of white outline is displayed, if you do not select an item by operating the left/right cursor keys and switch the selection screen by operating the up/down cursor keys, the above selection screen Assuming that the content of the selected item position displayed with the cursor above is selected,
Next, the items on the newly displayed selection screen become the selection targets.

Display the selection screen for "Without white outline" by switching the selection screen above, change the setting with white outline by moving the cursor using the cursor keys, and then switch the selection screen, or press the [Select/Execute] button. By operating , line modification information having selection information of the presence/absence of white outline whose settings have been changed is stored in the line attribute storage area corresponding to the selected line position in the line attribute buffer 142 . Also, by switching the above selection screen to display the "Print Stop" selection screen, move the cursor using the cursor keys to select "Print Stop", and then press the [Select/Execute] key. , line modification information having control information of "printing stopped" is stored in the corresponding line attribute storage area in the same way as described above. FIG. 3 shows the correspondence between the line attribute buffer 142 and the document buffer 141 and the setting contents of the line modification information at this time.

In the above line decoration setting means, the document buffer 141
After new line modification settings have been made for any line position of the document stored in the document buffer 141, the guide on the LCD 50 can be displayed by displaying the already input document in the same document buffer 141 on the LCD 5G by operating the cursor keys. On the display section, the line and digit of the displayed character string and the number of characters per line are displayed, and a line modification indicator and further a battery consumption indicator are selectively displayed. The guide display form at this time is shown in FIG. 5, and the lighting control processing procedure for the row modification indicator is shown in FIG.

That is, in the sixth factor, when a display string is selected by cursor operation, the line position, column position, and number of characters per line of the display string specified by the cursor are displayed, and the line attributes are displayed. The line decoration information of the corresponding line position stored in the buffer 142 is referred to, and the same information is compared with the line decoration standard value to determine whether line decoration is set for the display line selected by the cursor. It is determined (steps A11 to A15 in FIG. 6).

Here, if the line decoration is not set, that is, if the content of the above line decoration information matches the above line decoration standard value, the line decoration indicator will not be lit, and if the line decoration is set, i.e. If the content of the row modification information does not match the row modification standard value, the row modification indicator is turned on (sixth cause step A1B, A17). Such display control of the line modification indicator is performed for all lines of the displayed document selected by the cursor keys (sixth factor steps A18 to A24. A12 to A17).

In this manner, the line position where the line modification has been performed can be easily confirmed from the lit state of the row modification indicator.

-■■) -Nawate■- , -1 Next, the printing processing operation of the above-mentioned document will be explained.

At the time of document printing, document printing is specified by operating the [document print] key in combination with the [function] key and another specific key.

When the CP LJ 11 determines the operation input of the [Sentence-Print] key, it switches the display mode of the LCD 50 from the document display mode to the print menu display mode. The situation is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

When the CPU 11 determines the operation input of the document print key, it initializes the count value of the line counter indicating the print line position, and then controls the LCD III m circuit 11 to perform the operations as shown in FIG. Print menus are sequentially and selectively displayed on the LCD 5G in accordance with cursor key operations (step 811.B12 in FIG. 7). The screen switching and item selection at this time are performed by cursor key operation in the same way as the screen switching and item selection during the line modification setting described above. Screens such as "Text", "Left margin", "Japanese font (24 x 24 dots)/English font (18 horizontal x 24 vertical dots)" are switched, and the document format on each screen can be changed by operating the left and right cursor keys. selected. Regarding the "left margin" setting, each time the right cursor key is operated, the digit value is incremented (+1), and each time the left cursor key is operated, the digit value is decremented (-1).
be done.

After the document format selection operation according to the above display contents, by operating the [Select/Execute] key, this document format setting information is written to the print information holding unit provided in the control information area in RAM 14. It will be done.

Next, c p u it reads out the row modification information in the row attribute buffer 142 sequentially starting with the row modification information of the first row, and reads "
After searching the line position where "Print Stop" is set and determining the number of lines to be printed, print processing is executed up to that line position based on the print information in the print information holding section (Step 7 in Figure 7). 813-B21).

When printing stops at the line position where "Print Stop" is set, the above print menu will be displayed again, and the settings such as "Vertical/Horizontal", "Left Margin", "Japanese/English", etc. after the stop line will be displayed. It becomes possible to change the printing format.

Further, after setting the print format, by operating the Select/Execute key again, printing according to the newly set document format is started from the line position next to the stop line.

Furthermore, if it is detected that the document to be printed has ended (there is no document on line L+1) before the above-mentioned "stop printing" setting is searched, the number of lines to be printed up to that line position is calculated,
Execute the printing process up to the accompanying position (Step 8 in Figure 7)
13-815.822-B24).

At this time, when printing is executed, the message [-Printing-] is displayed in the character display column of the LCD 50. Furthermore, during the above-mentioned printing execution, character decoration is optionally performed on a line-by-line basis according to the contents of the line decoration information in the line attribute buffer 142 corresponding to the print line. The contents of each character modification at this time are shown in FIG. 3, and examples of each character font are shown in FIGS. 9(a) to (e). For example, when the outline designation pit of the line modification information of the print line is "0", the character form is without outline, and when it is "1", it is the character form with outline.

Also, the rotation and italic setting values for the line modification information of the print line are ``
o o o'' means no rotation/slanting, “ooi” means rotation 1 (half-hour hand direction 90°), “010” means rotation 2 (iaoo), and “011” means rotation 3 (half-hour hand direction). If the hour hand direction is 270 degrees) and "100", each character form is italicized (that is, italicized).

In addition, the line feed pitch of the line modification information of the print line is line feed B - reverse line feed ("1111"'), tear It - 8/120 inches (reverse paper feed), line feed H - half line feed ("0001").

120 inches, 45 if line break 3 (“0110”)
/120 inches, line feed 4 (“0111”), paper feed control is executed with a line feed amount of 60/120 inches. Also, if the character spacing of the line modification information of the print line is O (“00”), the pitch between the characters is O dots, and if the spacing is 1 (“ol”), it is 3 dots, and the spacing between the characters is O dots. 2
(“10”) means 6 dots, character spacing 3 (“’ 11
”), the character spacing is 12 dots.

Also, the font size is height x width - 24 x 24 dots for size 1 (“0001”), and size 2 (“0010”)
If so, length x width - 32 x 32 dots, size 3 (001

), then length x width - 192 x 192 dots, size 8
(“1000”) is length x width – 288 x 288t
' cut, li's 9 ("1001"), it becomes vertical x width -576 x 576 dots.

In FIG. 9, U indicates the character spacing, and ■ indicates the line feed pitch. In addition, (a) in the same figure is a full-width (size 1) character string without character modification, (b) is a character string with enlargement specified (size 3), and (C) is a character string with rotation specified (rotation 2). -1
80°) full-width character string, (d) is a full-width character string that is italicized (with italics), and (e) is a character string that is outlined and enlarged (with outline, size 5). are shown respectively.

In this way, according to the line modification information stored in the line attribute buffer 142, character modification processing including white fonts is executed on a line-by-line basis.

Further, when saving the above-mentioned document information on a cassette tape, document storage is specified by operating the [save] key in combination with the [auxiliary] key and the specific key. CPU
11 determines the operation input of the above [Save] key, [
A message "Document Save" is displayed on the character display column of the LCD 50, and when it is determined that the "Select/Execute" key has been input, the save process is started. That is, CPLJll selects the above [selection/
When it is determined that the input of the [Execute] key is 0, it is recognized that the recording preparation of the data recorder 40 is completed. First, when writing the data stored in RAM 14,
Output the data of the reader section. In other words, here all “
1” data for 1 second. Then, RAM 1
The data stored in 4 is read out, converted into bit serial cassette write data, and output. This write data order includes line modification information stored in the line attribute buffer 142, document information stored in the document buffer 141, custom character patterns stored in the custom character pattern buffer 143, registered words and phrases stored in the word/phrase registration area, provisional This is the order of the temporary dictionaries stored in the dictionary area. Furthermore, after outputting this cassette write data, all "O" data is output as a trailer section for 2 seconds. These data are sequentially inputted to the CMT adapter 41 via the PP 112 and further via the cassette interface circuit 16, converted into analog audio signals, and then supplied to the data recorder 40 to record the cassette set in the recorder. It is recorded (recorded) on one tape.

The recording format on the cassette tape at this time is 10th.
Shown in the figure.

In this way, line modification information, external character patterns, etc. are stored in the external data recorder 40, separated from the document information.

By having the above-mentioned line modification function, a low-priced and compact document creation device with a small number of displayed characters can be used to edit any line by white, rotate, italic, font size, etc. You can set character decorations such as line break pitch and character spacing, and this allows you to easily set and change any document format, including outline characters, for any line.
Mixed printing using various combinations of characters can be easily performed. In addition, printing can be stopped at any line position in the document to be printed, which greatly limits the number of characters that can be displayed at one time. - In some cases, these can be easily realized with simple operations.

In addition, by combining the above-mentioned line-by-line printing stop instruction and changing the setting of the document form after the stopped line, if the operator wants to change the print form in the middle of printing, or if the operator wants to change the print form from the line position in the middle of printing, When you want to print by changing the print ribbon color, or when you want to perform multi-column printing, or when you want to shift the printing position from the line position where it is in the middle of printing, or when you want to print a mixture of vertical and horizontal writing on a line by line basis. Various document modifications can be easily realized with simple operations.
