Description

How to create and print a help list {Method for printing after making the help list}

The present invention relates to a help list. More specifically, when a help for a multifunction device or a facsimile method is required, the GDI (Graphic Device Interface) and a bit map method can be used at the request of a user. It is about how to create and print a help list for printing.

In the present specification, a multifunction device supporting a Graphic Device Interface (GDI) and a facsimile supporting a bitmap method will be described as an example.

In general, a multifunction device is provided with a communication means such as a scanner capable of reading a document therein, a printer capable of outputting data in text form, and a telephone line for transmitting and receiving data with a remote party. Refers to an integrated device for interchangeable documents.

In addition, the facsimile is provided with a scanner capable of reading a document therein, and refers to a device for scanning the document by using it, and then transmits / receives the scanned data to a remote party.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, a help list for solving an operation problem occurring while using devices such as a multifunction device and a facsimile is generated using a font method and then output as needed.

As described above, in order to describe the basic contents using the font method, a font must be created directly when the basic font (Korean, Chinese, Arabic fonts or special characters in each language) or icons for common use are not embedded.

In this case, a lot of time is required, and when a modification occurs, it is inconvenient to repeat the work, and it is difficult to prepare a help list in various forms including tables, pictures, and charts to support this.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a GDI (Graphic Device Interface) and a bitmap By using Bit Map, it provides a way to create and print a help list including various fonts and styles.

Printing the help list using a scheme.

Preferably, the predetermined application program includes a word processor program capable of writing document data.

In the method for creating and outputting a facsimile help list that supports the bit map method of the present invention for solving the above object, the method for creating a help list may be performed by using a predetermined application program. Creating a list; Storing the created help list in a file of the bitmap format and converting the help list into a file of a predetermined type; Removing header information of the bitmap file from the converted file; Storing the converted file from which the header information is removed in a storage unit of the fax; And after retrieving the start address of the help list stored in the storage unit according to the help list request signal input from the outside during the operation of the facsimile, using the bit map scheme. Printing the help list.

Preferably, the predetermined application program includes a word processor program capable of writing document data.

Preferably, the predetermined form is a data code in hexadecimal form (Hexa).

Optionally, the method further comprises adjusting a resolution of the converted file stored in the storage.

Hereinafter, the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention described above will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention shown in the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of creating and outputting a help list using a GDI (Graphic Device Interface) method according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a help using a bit map method according to the present invention. This flowchart shows how to create a list and output it.

Accordingly, a method of creating and outputting a help list of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4.

First, a method of preparing and outputting a help list of a multifunction apparatus that supports a Graphic Device Interface (GDI) method will be described below.

A help list of the multifunction apparatus is created by using a predetermined application program (step S310).

Here, the predetermined application program includes a word processor program capable of writing document data, and the preparation of the help list is related to a problem in use that may occur during use of the multifunction device or a function key provided in the multifunction device. Operational information and the like are described using the word processor program.

The created help list is output to a file (step S320).

The output help list file is stored in the storage unit of the multifunction apparatus (S330).

Here, outputting the help list to a file is for storing the help list in a storage unit of the multifunction device in order to output the help list according to the multifunction user request.

That is, the help list is stored in a read only memory (ROM) in the storage unit and is read from the ROM according to a signal requested by the user and printed.

After the storing, after searching the start address of the help list stored in the storage unit according to the help list request signal input from the outside during the operation of the multifunction apparatus (step S340), the graphic device interface (GDI: The help list is prepared using a Graphic Device Interface) method (step: S350), and then printed (step: S360).

That is, when the user wants to know a problem occurring during the use of the multifunction device or a method of using the multifunction device, a signal for checking the help list is requested through a panel unit (not shown) provided in the multifunction device. Done.

At this time, the control unit (not shown) of the multifunction apparatus displays the details of the specific help corresponding to the signal requested by the user in the help list stored in the form of a ROM in the storage unit in the graphic device interface (GDI: Graphic). Device Interface) outputs using a printing function provided in the multifunction apparatus.

Meanwhile, a method of creating and outputting a facsimile help list that supports a bit map method will be described below.

A facsimile help list is created using a predetermined application program (step S410).

Here, the predetermined application program includes a word processor program capable of writing document data, and the preparation of the help list is related to a problem in use that may occur during use of the facsimile or a function key provided in the facsimile. Operational information and the like are described using the word processor program.

The created help list is stored as a file of the bitmap format (step: S420), and then converted into a file of a predetermined type (step: S430).

Here, the predetermined form is a data code in hexadecimal form (Hexa).

The header information of the bitmap file is removed from the converted file (step S440).

Here, removing the header information of the bitmap file is to provide the help list with only the data that is substantially necessary.

The converted file from which the header information is removed is stored in the storage unit of the facsimile (step S450).

Here, the converted file is stored in a read only memory (ROM) of the storage unit and is read from the ROM according to the help list request signal requested by the user and printed.

After the storing, after searching the start address of the help list stored in the storage unit according to the help list request signal input from the outside during the operation of the facsimile (step: S460), the user converts the converted file to the user. Adjust to the desired resolution (step: S470).

After adjusting the resolution, the help list is prepared using the bit map method supported by the facsimile (step: S480), and then printed (step: S490).

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or modified in various ways. Therefore, changes in the future embodiments of the present invention will not depart from the technology of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, by creating a help list using a GDI (Graphic Device Interface) and a Bit Map, various fonts for implementing special characters in various languages, various fonts, various letters, and commonization are needed. Icon and graphic style support is available.

In addition, the development time according to the help list can be shortened, and the user can easily understand the product functions, thereby easily solving the problems occurring during use.
