The CPU 11 has the function of controlling the entire document and individual devices. In addition, the ROM 12 has the above-mentioned CP
This is a memory that stores programs and the like that determine the operations of U11. The RAM 13 is a memory that stores document creation and various information related thereto.

The middle column control device 14 has a function of controlling printing according to designated print information.

The PR715 has a function of printing a document under the control of the print control unit [14]. The message retrieval device [16] has a function of retrieving necessary messages from a group of messages used in the document creation device.

The message display control device 17 has a function of displaying the message retrieved by the message retrieval device 16 based on pre-specified lines and columns. The display device 18 has a function of displaying the above message, and is constituted by, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display).

KBD19 inputs the input information necessary for document creation into the above CP.
This is a key-powered device for inputting input to U11, and controls such as starting or stopping printing are performed by key selection operations. The key force detection device 20 has a function of detecting the key force of KBD19. The key force determination device 21 has a function of determining whether the key detected by the key force detection device 20 is the correct key.

In the document creation device configured as described above,
Document printing is set by selecting the print start key KBD19. When the print start key K 8 D 19 is operated, the key operation signal is sent to the key force determination device 21 via the key force detection device f120. When the key force discrimination device 1j21 detects that a key to start printing a document has been operated, the key force discrimination device 21 outputs a document print start signal to the CPU 11. The CP tJ 11 drives the print control device 14 in accordance with the input of this document print start signal.
