Abstract

PURPOSE:To print destination information on a tack seal in accordance with destination print information by printing destination information in accordance with the format of the tack seal when tack seal printing is selected. CONSTITUTION:If it is discriminated that an input key is the selection/execution key, post card destination information to be printed which is stored in a memory RAM 12 is sent to a VRAM 23 for display and is displayed on a display device 25. When it is detected that the selection/execution key is operated, it is discriminated whether there is destination information to be printed of not, and a printing message is outputted to the display device 25. Labels of every two destinations are printed on tack seals. If continuous printing is indicated, this processing is repeated until destination information of ten destinations are printed on tack seals.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation device having tack sticker printing capability.

(Prior Art) In recent years, document creation devices (Japanese word processors) that create documents by inputting kana characters and converting them into kanji have become very popular. In such a document creation device,
Your name, address, postal code and the other party's name, address,
It is becoming common to have a so-called postcard address printing function, which allows you to automatically print in a layout suitable for government postcards by inputting a postal code.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, although the function of printing addresses on postcards has become available, it has not been possible to write addresses on envelopes such as direct mail.

An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device capable of printing tack stickers.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means and effects for solving the problem) An address information storage unit in which address information is stored in an address format, and address information stored in the address information storage unit when tack sticker printing is selected. The tack sticker printing means prints the address information according to the format of the tack sticker, and the tack sticker is printed from the postcard address printing information.

(Embodiment) A document creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a microprocessor 10 is connected to a system bus 30 and controls the entire system. RAM 12 is also connected to system bus 30 and is for storing data, programs, or postcard addressee information as shown in FIG.

The control ROM 14 stores special programs that are not stored in the RAM 12 and require high-speed processing of blocks related to formatting, for example. ROM22 for pattern generation
is also connected to the system bus 30, and when data is designated, it generates a pattern corresponding to that data. Further, a keyboard 17 is connected to the system bus 30 via the keyboard interface 16, so that the keyboard interface 16 transfers commands and data input from the keyboard 17 to the system bus 30.
Output on 0. Similar to the keyboard, external memory @[2
0 and display device 25 are connected to system bus 30 via external storage device interface 7S 19 and display control V&[24, respectively. The external storage ill interface 19 has at least one external storage t! ! Mounted M20
It can control the internal storage device and input/output data, programs, etc. The display VRAM 23 is also connected to the system bus 30.
The pattern generation ROM 22 stores such data. The display control O device i24 is a display VRAM
Data is read from 23 and necessary information including the document is displayed on the display section '1I25. An external communication interface 27 connected to the system bus 30 is provided as necessary, and outputs commands and data input from the outside onto the system bus 30, or outputs data etc. to the outside. Data such as characters or symbols inputted from a keyboard or the like is stored in a document area of the RAM 12 in coded form. Further, the character or symbol code read from the document area of the RAM 12 is output to the pattern generation ROM 22. ROM2 for pattern generation
2 stores data converted into dot pattern data corresponding to characters or symbols according to input data. The pattern data stored in the VRAM 23 is displayed on the display section by the display control @[24! ! 25.

Next, the operation of an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. Next, the operation of an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. When an instruction to print a direct mail label is issued, the process shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is performed. First, an instruction as to whether to print continuously or sequentially is input from the keyboard 17 (step 81). Next, the key is manually pressed and the key that is manually pressed is the "Cancel" key or the "Cancel" key.
It is determined whether the key is "select/execute" (step S2). Here, if it is determined that the "cancel" key has been operated, direct mail label printing is canceled. on the other hand,
If it is determined that the input key is the "select/execute" key, the document format is checked to see if the postcard addressee information stored in the RAM 12 is stored in a predetermined format as shown in FIG. (Step S3). Here, if the data is not stored in a predetermined format, error processing is performed. Next, if it is determined that the document format is stored in the correct format, the addressee information to be printed is sent to the VRAM 23 and the display section [
25 (step 84). Then, the key waits for human power, and the "Cancel" key, the "Select/Execute" key,
It is determined whether the "↑" or "↓" key has been operated.

When the "↑" key is operated, the previous postcard addressee information stored in RAM 12 is displayed on the display, and when the "↓" key is operated, the previous postcard addressee information is displayed on the display. The previous addressee information is displayed in display@box 25. and,
If the "cancel" key is operated, the printing process ends.

By the way, in the determination in step S5 above, "selection/execution"
If it is detected that a key has been operated, it is determined whether there is anything to be printed, that is, whether there is addressee information to be printed (step S7). The message being printed is then output to the display device 25 (step S8).

Thereafter, a label printing process is performed, and the addressee information stored as shown in FIG. 4 is printed on the tack sticker as shown in FIG. 5 (step 89). here,
Although not shown, addressee information is printed for two recipients each. This method of printing on tack stickers is carried out in the same way as postcard address printing, and the table shown in Figure 2 instructs where the postcard address document should be printed on the tack sticker and the printed area. This is done based on a table that stores the inter-line pitch, character-to-character pitch, etc. of the lines.

Then, it is determined whether the print instructions given in step S1 are continuous (step 510), and if they are not continuous, the processes from step S4 onwards are repeated.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the printing instructions are continuous, the processes from step S7 onwards are repeated until the information for 10 recipients is printed on the tack sticker. And 10
Once the addressee information for each person has been printed on the tack sticker,
The determination in step 811 is rYEsJ, and the processes from step S4 onwards are repeated. As described above, when there is no addressee information to be printed in the RAM 12, the printing process ends. In this way, the second
Postcard addressee information stored in the format shown in the figure can be stored on the tack sticker.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a document creation device having the ability to print tack stickers.
