Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention 1] The present invention relates to a printing prevention mechanism character system for various printing bags.

“Technical background of the invention and its problems] As is well known in conventional printing devices, character strings that are suppressed from printing are replaced with spaces (blanks) when printed. The print suppression mechanism had the disadvantage that it could not be used due to the lack of space.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the object of the present invention is to not only convert printed character strings into spaces but also to convert them into various characters (symbols).
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a printing suppression print command that can be printed in place of a column.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention replaces character string information from an input device with a character code string in a main control unit, displays the character string information on a display device via a display control unit, and the print control unit In a printing system that converts a character code string into a corresponding character pattern using a graphic character pattern memory and then sends it to a printing device for printing, printing suppression patterns consisting of various figures, symbols, and spaces are stored in advance. a printing suppression pattern memory is provided, and upon receiving a printing suppression printing command from the input device, the main control unit extracts a target printing suppression pattern from the printing suppression pattern memory and displays it on the display device; A new character code string is created by inserting the extracted print suppression pattern code into the print suppression character code string, and the print control section stores this new character code string in the graphic character pattern memory and the print suppression pattern memory. The above object is achieved by converting the C character pattern into a C character pattern string and printing it using a printing device.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a printing system to which the print suppression printing method of the present invention is applied. The input device 1 outputs a character string input by pressing a key to the main control unit 2. The main control unit 2 converts the input character string information into a character code string and writes this into a character code string memory 3. . The display control unit 4 reads the characters from the character code string memory 3.
Then, based on this character code string, a corresponding character pattern is read out from the graphic character pattern memory 5 and sent to the display device 6.

The print control unit 1 reads the character code string from the character code string memory 3, and takes out the character pattern corresponding to this character code 11 from the graphic character pattern memory 5, or prints the print suppression pattern corresponding to this character code string. The character pattern or print inhibition pattern is read from the print inhibition pattern memory 8 and sent to the printing device 9. The printing device 9 performs printing based on both of the patterns. The main control unit 2 uses a print suppression pattern memory a in the print suppression mode.
and accesses the display control section 4.

Next, the print suppression printing operation of this embodiment will be explained. Here, the character string ABCDEF shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display device 6.
Assume that G is displayed.

Therefore, character code strings (see FIG. 4) corresponding to the character strings in FIG. 2 are written in the character code memory 3. Here, among the above character strings, CD'F is printed and suppressed,
Suppose you want to insert a bracket instead. For this purpose,
The operator operates the cursor keys of the input device 1 to move the cursor to the character C of the character string displayed on the display device 6.
bring it to the position. After that, press the print restraint key (-0) on the input device 1. When this print restraint key is pressed, the main control section 2 retrieves the print restraint pattern from the print restraint pattern memory 8 and displays it in the display control section 4. Through the print suppression pattern display section 100 shown at the lower right of the display device 6 in FIG.
to be displayed. When the operator confirms that the desired print pattern appears on the display unit 100, the operator presses the input device 1.
Press the execution key. If the corresponding display press 1 pattern does not appear, the next candidate key on the input device 1 is pressed. When this next candidate key is pressed, the main control section 2 reads the next pattern from the print suppression pattern memory 8 and displays it on the display device 6. Incidentally, the print suppression pattern memory 8 stores in advance an example of a print suppression pattern as shown in FIG. That is, 1 is a space, 2 is a left bracket], 3 is a right bracket, 4 is a left diagonal line, etc.

When the execution key of the input device 1 is pressed, the main control unit 2 inserts the print suppression code read from the print suppression pattern memory 8 and the pattern address 2 into the character code string shown in FIG. Next, move the cursor to the next character, that is, the part of the character, and repeat the above operation. As a result, the character code string shown in FIG. 4 corresponding to the character string ABCDEFG in FIG. 2 is as shown in FIG. Code for letter C, print suppression code, pattern address 1, code for letter printing, print suppression code, pattern address 3, code for letter E, code for letter F.

This is the code for the letter G. If the user wishes to end the print inhibiting operation, the user presses the print inhibiting key on the input device 1 again, and the main control unit 2 receives this and ends the print inhibiting operation.

As a result of the above operation, the character code string shown in FIG. 4 replaces the character string CDF with the print suppression pattern left [], space, right [], and becomes the character code string shown in FIG. 5.

Next, the operation of printing the character string edited as described above will be described. The print control section 7 reads out the character code string shown in FIG. 5 from the character code string memory 5. Since the first code in this code string is a code for a character, the print control unit 7 accesses the graphic character pattern memory 5, reads out the pattern for a character, and outputs it to the printing device 9. Since the next code is also the code for the character B, the pattern for the character B is read out from the second two-figure character pattern 5 and the same processing is performed. Since the next code to be read is a print suppression code, the print control unit 7 again prints the character =
Addresses the 1-word column memory 3 and reads out the pattern address 2. 1, the print control unit 7 accesses the print inhibition pattern memory 8 based on the pattern address 2, indicates the left non-noni 1, reads out the print inhibition pattern, and outputs this to the printing device 9. The print control unit 7 is
The code following the address of the print suppression pattern, i.e. the letter C
Skip the L-do, and read the -1 next to the coat of this letter C.
After reading out the print suppression IL code that is the code, the same operations as those described above are repeated, and in the end, all character code strings as shown in FIG. 5 are read out from the character code string memory 3, and this code string is A corresponding character pattern or print inhibition pattern can be read out from the graphic character pattern memory 5 or print inhibition pattern memory 8 and sent to the printing device 9 to print a character string as shown in FIG. 6.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to insert a character string other than a space, such as a parenthesis here, into the part of the character string that has been suppressed, so it can be used to create exam questions, etc. The mechanism can be used effectively. Furthermore, since character strings other than spaces can be inserted, it is easy to check the number of characters that are suppressed from being printed.

"Effect 1 of the Invention As described above, according to the printing suppression action character system of the present invention, various printing suppression patterns are stored in the printing suppression pattern memory, and when the printing suppression action character is activated, the main control unit
The printing suppression pattern code is retrieved from the memory and inserted into the printing suppression character code string, and the character code string into which this printing suppression pattern code has been inserted is inserted into the corresponding character pattern or printing suppression pattern as a graphic character. It is difficult to convert using pattern memory or print suppression pattern memory and print according to this, so instead of just converting the suppressed character string to a space, you can also convert it to various characters (S'i > tl+). It has the effect of printing.
