JPS62204972A - Keyboard printer - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a keyboard printer which enables an operator to easily perform inputting and confirming operations, by providing a display part capable of displaying a several-line amount of printing information corresponding to several printed lines which are hidden behind a printing mechanism part or the like of the keyboard printer. CONSTITUTION:Information inputted through keys by an operator and information outputted from a computer are printed out by a printing part, and simultaneously, a several-line amount of the information precedingly printed is displayed on a display part. The display part displays the several-line amount of the information corresponding to several printed lines which are hidden behind a printing mechanism part or the like of a printer and are difficult to see. Therefore, the information displayed is automatically updated according to printout. Accordingly, inputting and confirming operations are facilitated, and burden on the operator can be alleviated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a keyboard printer, particularly a keyboard printer used for combinator input/output. [Prior Art] In general, a keyboard printer for combinator input/output is The contents input using the keyboard and the output from the combiator are printed out to the attached printer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional method described above, the line currently being printed and the several lines before it are hidden by the printing mechanism of the printer, making it difficult to see and making it very inconvenient for the operator to check. .

In particular, when correcting key human errors or checking messages from the combiator, it is necessary to send out the printer paper once and then repeat the process69, making the work very complicated.◇ The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard printer that facilitates input and confirmation work by an operator.

[Means for solving problems]

The keyboard printer of the present invention is characterized in that it is equipped with a display section that can display several lines of text in a portion that would otherwise be hidden by the printing mechanism section of the keyboard printer.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be specifically explained using the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of the keyboard printer of the present invention. The contents of the operator's keystrokes and the contents of the output from the computer are printed out in the printer section, and at the same time, the previous several lines are displayed on the display section. The display section displays several lines that are obscured by the printing mechanism of the printer and become difficult to see. Therefore, the display contents are automatically changed to the latest pattern according to the printout.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the keyboard printer of the present invention, it is possible to manually perform key operations while looking at the display. Therefore, the input and confirmation work becomes easier, and the burden on the operator can be reduced. In particular, since there is no need to repeatedly feed the paper and check hidden characters, the speed and accuracy of work can be improved, and work efficiency can be improved.
