Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a printer to be operated from a remote position when an operation panel is detached, by a method wherein a control line extended from an operation panel part is connected to a printer body via a connector, and the operation panel is enable to be detached from the printer body. CONSTITUTION:A storage box 5 for storing a complete set 6 of a detachable operation panel is also used as a connecting position of a connector 7. The connector 7 is connected to a control line 9 and the control line 9 is stored in the storage box 5. By attaching a detachable operation panel part 8 to the storage box thereafter, the assembly does not differ in appearance from a conventional printer. Printer operation in a printer body 3 can be thus executed. Before the printer is operated from a remote position, the detachable operation panel part 8 is detached from the storage box 5, and operation is executed under a state where the control line 9 is extended outside. When the detachable operation panel part 8 is moved near a keyboard 2 and used, the printer can be operated at the same position as that for keyboard operation. Further, by making the control line 9 have a successive connecting function, a remote use range can be extended.

For example, in the personal computer system PC-9800 manufactured by NEC Corporation, the procedure for making a hard copy of several screens with one screen per page is to first press the C0PY key on the keyboard, then print to the printer. The operation is repeated by pressing the SEL button and TOF button on the operation panel of the device to change the page, and then pressing the SEL button again.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a personal computer system including a printer device of the present invention. In the figure, the printer main body 3 is provided with a storage box 5 for storing a detachable operation panel set 6, and this storage box 5 also serves as a connection position for a connector 7. Removable operation panel set 6
1 is composed of a connector 7, a detachable operation panel section 8, and a control line 9, and FIG. 1 shows a state in which the storage box 5 of the printer main body 3 is removed.

Normally, the connector 7 is connected and the control line 9 is connected to the storage box 5.
By installing the removable operation panel section 8 into the storage box, the appearance is no different from that of a conventional printer device. In this way, printer operations can be performed on the printer main body 3.

When operating the printer from a remote location, the detachable operation panel section 8 is removed from the storage box 5, and the operation is performed with the control line 9 kept out. By moving the detachable operation panel section 8 closer to the keyboard 2, printer operations can be performed at the same location as the keyboard operations.

Furthermore, by providing the control line 9 with a continuous connection function, the range of remote use can be expanded. Further, if the removable operation panel section 8 is provided with a function for checking paper feed, printing status, etc., and a buzzer or the like is used to notify abnormal operations in case of a paper jam, remote control becomes even more convenient.
