Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize printing suitable for the character pitch of a KANJI(Chinese character) code system, by converting the data of an alphanumeric KANA (Japanese syllabary) code system to that of the KANJI code system. CONSTITUTION:On an external file 1, the data of the alphanumeric KANA code system (a JISC-6220 code, an EBCDIC code, etc.) and that of the KANJI code system (a JEF code) which presents the character (a KANJI, a KANA, an English character, a numeric, a mark, etc.) of the Japanese language are mixed and recorded. The code identification 24 of a print processing part 2 detects the code of the alphanumeric KANA code system in the print data of the external file 1, and converts it to the KANJI code system at a JEF conversion part 21 and also, attaches a control code to indicate an en at an en processing part 22, and outputs it to a print control part 28. In such a way, it is possible to output the data of the alphanumeric KANA code system as that of the KANJI code system, and to realize print output suitable for the pitch of the KANJI code system.

code, etc.) and Japanese characters (Kanji,
When printing data that contains a mixture of code systems (Kanji code systems) representing characters (kana, alphabets, numbers, symbols, etc.), convert the alphanumeric kana codes to kanji codes, and then process this into half-width characters to create alphanumeric kana codes. The characters can be printed at the 3/20 inch character pitch of the Kanji code.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention utilizes an alphanumeric kana code system (currently JISC-62
20 code, EBCD IC code, etc.) data,
This invention relates to a printing control method for data in which data of a code system (hereinafter referred to as "Kanji code system") expressing Japanese characters (kanji, kana, alphabets, numbers, symbols, etc.) is mixed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the alphanumeric kana code system, such as the EBCDIC code, and the kanji code system, such as the JEF code (Jap
anese processing Extended
Examples of programs that use a mixture of ``Code'' and ``Code'' include user applications that use simple languages such as EPOBIND and high-level languages such as C0BOL. Therefore, a method for efficiently printing mixed data is required.

By the way, regarding conventional printing functions, the EBCD IC code has a 1/10 inch character pitch and a 1/12 inch character pitch, and the JEF code has a 115 inch character pitch and a 3/20 inch character pitch.

For this reason, EBCDI can display two digits in one byte.
When there is a mixture of C code and JEF code, for example when creating a table using these mixed codes, in the conventional method, the characters of the EBCDIC code are printed at a character pitch of 1/10 inch, as shown in Figure 6. The character positions were aligned by printing the JEF code characters at a 115-inch character pitch.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, if the JEF code characters are printed at a 3/20 inch character pitch, the EBCD I C code characters will be 1/20 inch character pitch.
Since it is printed with a character pitch of 10 inches, as shown in Figure 6, the JEF code is printed with a character width of 1 character.
1.5 characters of the C code will be printed, making the form design complicated.

Therefore, due to the complexity of form design, the JEF code was changed to 11.
Printed with 5 inch character pitch, EBCDIC code l/
By printing at a 10-inch character pitch, mixed printing is performed so that the width of one JEF code character corresponds to two EBCDIC code characters. For this reason, J.E.
In the case of mixed printing of F code and EBCDIC code, the number of characters that can be printed in one line on paper is limited to 115 inch character pitch, so if this JEF code is printed on paper with a width of 12 inches, it will be 60 character lines, and 3 /1 compared to 80 character lines when printed at 20 inch character pitch
The number of characters in a line is small, which poses a problem in terms of saving printing paper.

Furthermore, if the character pitch is 3/20 inches, the data can be tabulated in one line, but because the character pitch is 115 inches, the data may span two lines, making it difficult to read as a table.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned problems by developing an EBC that can print the characters of the EBCD IC code at the 3/20 inch character pitch of the JEF code.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data printing method that includes DIC code and JEF code.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, as shown in FIG. In a printing device that prints data containing a mixture of code system data (referred to as "Kanji code system") representing Japanese characters (Kanji, Kana, alphabets, numbers, symbols, etc.), the print processing unit 2
code converting means 21 for converting the alphanumeric kana code system into the kanji code system, and the code converting means 21 for converting the alphanumeric kana code system into the kanji code system;
It is equipped with a half-width processing means 22 that prints at a pitch of /2, extracts an alphanumeric kana code system from print data, converts it to a kanji code system, and processes the converted kanji code system by half-width processing. The system is characterized in that data input in the alphanumeric kana code system can be output in half-width print according to any character pitch in the kanji code system. With half-width characters, two characters can be printed in the width of one normal JEF code (full-width characters), regardless of the character pitch.

[Effect]

Of the data read from external file 1, EBCD
The IC code is converted into a JEF code by the JEF converter 21. Then, the half-width processing unit 22 adds control characters before and after the half-width characters to instruct printing of half-width characters. The JEF code characters between these control characters are 1/2 double-byte characters in the printing section 3.
2 width, so even if you want to print the JEF code with a 3/20 inch character pitch, you need to first convert the EBCDIC code to a JEF code, then print it half-width, and then print it with a 3/20 inch character pitch. By printing, it is possible to print at a 3/40 inch character pitch.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 5.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the present invention, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a printing state, and FIG. 5 is a diagram of a printing state as a table.

In Figure 2, parts with the same symbols as those in the Haku diagram indicate the same parts,

5 is an editing section, 26 is a processing section, 27 is a memory, 28 is a print control section, 41 is a key manual section, and 42 is a display section.

The external file 1 includes a magnetic disk 11, a Freonbi disk 12, etc., and stores data for printing.

The print processing section 2 performs printing processing on print data stored in the external file 1, and causes the printing section 3 to print the print processing results.

In addition to the JEF conversion section 21 and the half-width processing section 22, the print processing section 2 includes an input/output control section that inputs or outputs print data to the external file 1, and an EBCDIC code of the data input from the external file 1. a code identification section 24 for identifying input data, an editing section 25 for editing input data line by line, a processing section 26 for performing calculations such as adding data, processing processing such as searching and classification, and a memory 2 for storing data.
7. A print control unit 28 and the like that performs various controls in print processing are provided.

The terminal unit 4 is equipped with a key input unit 41, a display unit 42, etc., for inputting data necessary for printing, such as half-width mode selection for half-width printing, and for checking the processing status. There is.

Next, an outline of the operation of the present invention will be explained.

The operator first examines the print data and decides whether or not half-width printing should be performed. For example, in a place with many tables, a half-width mode selection input is performed using the key input section 41. As a result, the print control section 28 informs the code identification section 24 of the EBCD I
A control character 30C that causes the JEF conversion unit 21 to output the C code and instructs the half-width processing unit 22 to perform half-width printing processing before and after the output of the JEF conversion unit 21.
Control is performed to add O130C1.

(11 In this way, after setting the half-width mode, the input/output control unit 23 reads print data from the external file 1.

(2) The print data input in this way is
The aS unit 25 edits the data into one line.

(3) The code identification unit 24 detects EB in this one line of data.
Identify whether there is a CDIC code or not.

14) If there is an E B CD I C code, it is output to the JEF conversion unit 21 and first converted to a JEF code, and the converted JEF code is sent to the half-width processing unit 22.
Control characters 30C that instruct half-width printing before and after
O (half-width start code) and 30C1 (half-width end code) are added and output to the print control unit 28. However, EBCDI
If the code is not a C code, the JEF code is output to the print control unit 28 as is. Such processing is performed until the data for one row becomes zero.

(5) When such processing is completed for one line of data, the print processing section 2 outputs it to the printing section 3 and requests printing. The printing unit 3 performs printing based on this, but at this time, half-width printing is overwritten for the JEF code that exists between the half-width start code and the half-width end code. This process is performed sequentially until the print data stored in the external file 1 becomes zero.

Through the EBCD IC: 2-code conversion → half-width processing, the characters initially input in the EBCD IC code are as shown in Figure 4 (a) and (b).
The JEF code can be mixed with the JEF code at a 115-inch character pitch, and as shown in (C) and (d), the JEF code can also be printed at a 3/2o-inch character pitch.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5(a), JEF
When tabulating data that contains a mixture of codes such as hiragana and EBCDIC codes such as alphanumeric characters, print the JEF code at a 115-inch character pitch and print the EBCDIC code.
In contrast to the code that had to be printed at a 1/1o inch character pitch, this invention converts the EBCDIC code into a JEF code and processes it into half-width characters, as shown in Figure 5(b). Printed at 3/40 inch character pitch, with 3 characters of JEF code from the beginning.
It can be tabulated with those printed at /20 inch character pitch.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, data input in an alphanumeric kana code system such as the EBCDIC code can be printed with a 3/20 inch character pitch in a kanji code system such as the JEF code. It is possible to improve the paper usage rate when printing mixed data of kanji code system and kanji code system, and it is also possible to make the tabulation smaller.

Furthermore, when storing print data, alphanumeric and kana code data such as EBCDIC code can be stored as is as a 1-byte code with a small amount of data, so storage efficiency can be improved.

Furthermore, since the processing (search, classification) of existing programs uses, for example, EBCDIC code, it is necessary to store the data format in, for example, EBCDIC code, and it is necessary to print such data. Sometimes, by selecting a mode, it is possible to convert to a Kanji code such as the JEF code or to print without converting.
