Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance convenience in arrangement and retrieval of data, by adding a mechanism for arbitrarily displaying a page number to a line printer used as a peripheral device for a computer or the like so that a desired page number can be printed out. CONSTITUTION:The printing position for a page number, the ascending or descending order of numbers to be printed, the spacing between numerals to be printed, the color and size of the numerals to be printed and the like are designated through a key input part 4 of a line printer 1. The designation information is inputted to a page number display controlling part 2, which controls a printing part 3 based on the information. The printing part 3 is controlled by the controlling part 2 to print the designated page number on a line printer paper 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a line printer that is a peripheral device for an electronic computer or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, line printers, which are peripheral devices for computers and the like, have not been provided with a mechanism that allows a user to print out an arbitrary number of pages.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The line printer, which is a peripheral device for conventional electronic computers, etc. mentioned above, did not have a mechanism to print out an arbitrary number of pages, so it did not have the number of pages that the user really needed. search for data,
It was inconvenient to use.

An object of the present invention is to provide a line printer that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a line printer that is a peripheral device for a computer, etc., including a key input section for specifying a page number printing mode, a page number display control section into which information is input from the key input section, and a page number display control section for inputting information from the key input section. The printer is characterized by having a printing section that prints the number of pages on line printer paper based on control by the control section.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. The line printer l of this embodiment includes a page number display control section 2 for displaying an arbitrary number of pages on line printer paper, a printing section 3 for actually printing out the page number, and a control section 2 for displaying an arbitrary number of pages on line printer paper. It has a key input section 4 for The key input unit 4 is used to specify a print position indicating, for example, at which position on the line printer paper 5 (generally, the left shoulder corner, the right shoulder corner, or the middle of both corners), etc.
Specify the ascending or descending order of printing (in the case of descending order, specify the maximum number of pages first), the interval between printed numbers (for example, paper 1
(When printing in two places on the page, at the beginning and in the middle)
, is used to specify the color, size, etc. of printed numbers.

According to the line printer of this embodiment, first, the key input section 4
Specify the printing position of the page number, ascending or descending order of printing, interval of printed numbers, color, size of printed numbers, etc. These designation information are input to the page number display control section 2, and the control section 2
Then, the printing section 3 is controlled based on these designation information. The printing unit 3 is controlled by the page number display control unit 2 and prints the specified number of pages on the line printer paper 5.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds a page number arbitrary display mechanism to a line printer, which is a peripheral device of an electronic computer, etc., so that it is possible to print out the number of pages that the user truly desires, and the data This has the effect of increasing the convenience of organizing and searching.
