5 to 8 are diagrams for explaining a method of generating a first print command according to some embodiments of the present invention.
9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating a method of generating a second print command according to some embodiments of the present invention.

The above objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and similarities.

In the drawings, the thicknesses of the layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity and the element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "on" Included in the scope of the present invention is not only directly above another element or layer but also includes intervening layers or other elements in between. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. In addition, numerals (e.g., first, second, etc.) used in the description of the present invention are merely an identifier for distinguishing one component from another.

Hereinafter, an electronic apparatus related to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. The suffix "module" and " part "for the components used in the following description are given or mixed in consideration of ease of specification, and do not have their own meaning or role.

The electronic device described in this specification includes mobile terminals such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a digital broadcasting terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player) But also a fixed terminal such as a digital TV, a desktop computer, and the like.

In this document, a 'font' includes not only a font for a character but also a format / font for a two-dimensional code such as a bar code or a QR code.

Generally, force printers store only a limited number of fonts. Accordingly, if a document to be printed is created using a font that is supported by the POS terminal but is not supported by the POS printer, the font can be printed in a font different from the document actually created by the user. That is, if the user has created a document in the 'A' font but the 'A' font is a font not supported by the force printer, the contents of the document may be printed in the 'B' font, which the POS printer can support.

In order to solve such a problem, when the contents of a document to be printed are written in a font which is not supported by the force terminal, the printer driver installed in the force terminal is required to print the contents of the document to be printed And a function of transmitting and printing the changed image after changing the image to an image so that even when a document is created in a font that is not supported by the POS printer, .

On the other hand, a setting value for reducing or enlarging the size of a document to be printed through a printer driver is applied only to an area to be printed by a print command for outputting an image, and is printed by a print command for outputting a character string There is a case where the entire contents included in the document can not be reduced or enlarged in a lump when the document to be printed is reduced or enlarged to be printed.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are diagrams for explaining a problem that occurs when printing according to a setting value for reducing or enlarging a document to be printed according to a conventional technique.

1 (a) and Fig. 2 (a) are diagrams showing screens printed on actual paper when a document to be printed is printed in its original size, and Figs. 1 (b) (b) is a drawing showing a screen printed on actual paper when a setting value for reducing a document to be printed at a predetermined ratio is set and then printed.

Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the contents of the first area R1 are normally reduced and printed according to the reduction ratio set by the user. However, the contents of the second area R2 are not limited to the reduction ratio set by the user It is not normally reduced but is printed in its original size, and the contents of the actual document are partially lost (LR1) and printed.

This is because the font used in the first area R1 is created using a font that is not supported by the POS printer so that the first area R1 is printed in the first area R1 ) To the image, and then transmits the data of the changed image and the image print command for outputting the modified image to the POS printer. At this time, the first area R1 is changed to the image Since the reduction ratio set by the user has been normally applied and the contents corresponding to the second area R2 have been created by using the fonts supported by the POS printer, The character string corresponding to the second area R2 is not changed to an image, Because the force transmitted to the printer, but the user is not subject to the set reduction ratio properly.

2, it can be seen that the contents of the first area R1 are normally reduced and printed in accordance with the reduction ratio set by the user, but the contents of the second area R2 are not printed at all, . That is, it can be seen that a lost area LR2 is included in the document to be printed, but no contents are printed on the actually printed paper.

This is because only a part of the entire area of the actual paper can be set as the print area according to the reduction ratio set by the actual user. If it is determined that the data to be printed is out of the set print area, It is because.

In summary, when a user actually prints a document to be printed after inputting a set value to print by reducing or enlarging the contents of the input document through the printer driver, in a specific case, the content of the target document A problem occurs that a part of the image is not normally output.

Hereinafter, a method and a method for generating a print command for a POS printer to solve a problem caused by attempting to reduce information to be printed through a force printer, which is aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, Will be described in detail.

3 is a view for explaining a force terminal and a force printer related to the embodiments of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the force terminal 10 may be connected to the force printer 20. The force terminal 10 and the force printer 20 may be connected by wire or wirelessly. When the force terminal 10 and the force printer are wirelessly connected, the POS terminal 10 can be connected via a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), a Bluetooth, a WiFi, or any other known wireless communication method.

The force terminal 10 may include an application 12 and a printer driver 14. [

The application 12 may be software or hardware capable of providing an interface for receiving various user inputs for creating a document to be printed or for printing a target document.

The printer driver 14 receives the print request and the data for the target document to be printed from the application 12 and transmits the print command for properly printing the target document to the POS printer 20 and the data Can be transmitted.

In addition, the printer driver 14 can receive and set various setting values necessary for printing from the user or the application 12. The printer driver 14 can appropriately reflect the set values, And may transmit a separate set value change command or the like to the POS printer 20. [

The force printer 20 receives necessary commands from the printer driver 14 installed in the force terminal 10 and performs appropriate operations accordingly.

For example, upon reception of a print command from the printer driver 14, an appropriate print operation can be performed based on various parameters included in the print command and / or data to be printed.

For example, when the setting change command is received from the printer driver 14, various setting values of the force printer 20 can be changed based on various setting values included in the setting change command.

For example, when the POS printer 20 receives a status return command for requesting return of various setting values and / or various statuses of the current POS printer 20 from the printer driver 14, To the printer driver (14).

The commands that may be used between the printer driver 14 and the force printer 20 may be various other commands than those described above.

In the case of the print command, various print commands may be used depending on the type of data to be printed. That is, different print commands may be used depending on whether the data to be printed is an image, a character string, or a code. Hereinafter, when a distinction is required, a print command for printing image data is called an image print command, a print command for printing a string is a string print command, and a print command for printing code data is called a code print command . However, in the case where such a special distinction is not required, it may be collectively referred to as a print command.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of a method of transmitting a print command for a force printer according to the present invention will be described.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of transmitting a print command for a force printer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a method of transmitting a print command for a force printer according to the present invention includes receiving print data (S100), checking whether there is a size change request (S200) And checking the type of the font (S300). In this case, when the type of the identified font is the first font supported by the POS printer 20, a step (S400) of generating a first print command and a step (S600) of generating a second print command when the type of the identified font is a second font that is not supported by the POS printer 20 And transmitting the generated second print command to the force printer 20 (S700).

In the following, each step will be described in more detail.

The printer driver 14 can receive print data from the application 12 (S100).

The print data may include data for at least one of a character string, an image, and a code (for example, a bar code or a QR code, etc.) included in a document to be printed.

In addition, the print data may include various attribute information on the character string, image, code, and the like. For example, when the print data is a character string, font information and / or font size information applied to the character string may be included in the print data.

Meanwhile, when the print data is transmitted, data on all the contents included in the target document to be printed may be transmitted at a time. Preferably, the print target document may be divided into predetermined units and transmitted have. For example, when the document to be printed includes a plurality of lines, the contents included in each line may be transmitted from the application 12 to the printer driver 14 as one unit. That is, when the document to be printed is composed of the first line to the N-th line, the print data may be transmitted N times in order to transmit all the contents of the document to be printed to the printer driver 14.

The printer driver 14 can check whether there is a size change request for changing the print size, such as enlarging or reducing the print size when outputting the document to be printed (S200).

In general, the size change request may be input by a user through a user interface (UI) provided by the printer driver 14. For example, in outputting the document to be printed, the user can input a reduction of a% in comparison with the original size of the document to be printed, through the user interface provided by the printer driver 14, , The printer driver 14 can confirm that there is a size change request.

Alternatively, the size change request may be generated through the application 12 or other application installed in the force terminal 10 or an operating system (OS) installed in the force terminal 10 .

Upon receipt of the print data, the printer driver 14 can confirm the type of the font for the received print data (S300). More specifically, the printer driver 14 can check whether the font for the received print data is a font recognizable by the POS printer 20 or a font that the POS printer 20 can not recognize (S300).

In other words, in general, the fonts that the force terminal 10 can use are more diverse than the fonts that the force printer 20 can use. For this reason, When the target document is created, the font used for the document to be printed may be a font recognizable by the POS printer 20 or a font which can not be recognized by the POS printer 20. In step S300, Can be performed.

Meanwhile, the printer driver 14 may check the font information included in the print data to confirm the font of the print data, and may transmit the font information transmitted separately from the print data to the application 12 And can also be confirmed.

If it is determined in step S300 that the font for the print data is a font recognizable by the POS printer 20, the printer driver 14 prints the received print data through the POS printer 20 (S400), and transmits the generated first print command to the force printer (20).

Hereinafter, various methods of generating the first print command will be described in detail.

5 to 8 are diagrams for explaining a method of generating a first print command according to some embodiments of the present invention.

First, a first embodiment for generating a first print command will be described.

Referring to FIG. 5, the printer driver 14 determines a second font size based on the font size (hereinafter referred to as a first font size) of the received print data and the size change information confirmed in step S200 (S410).

The method for determining the second font size may be as follows.

(1) A value obtained by multiplying the first font size by the size change information is calculated.

(2) A value closest to the value among the font sizes preset in the force printer 20 is searched.

(3) The closest value is determined as the second font size.

For example, when the first font size for the print data is '15' and the size change information is '70%', the value obtained by multiplying the two is '10.5' If the set font sizes are 10 and 12, the second font size may be determined to be 10, which is more approximate to 10.5.

Then, the printer driver 14 may generate a first print command including the determined second font size and the first character string for the print data (S412).

The first print command generated in step S412 may be a string print command or a code print command. That is, since the data transmitted through the first print command is not the image data corresponding to the print data but the first character string for the first print data, the print command used in step S412 is a string print command or code Print command.

This makes it possible to solve the conventional problem that the print data using the fonts supported by the force printer is lost and printed when there is a size change request and also the size change request to the print data using the fonts supported by the force printer So that it can be appropriately changed in size and printed.

Next, a second embodiment for generating the first print command will be described.

Referring to FIG. 6, the printer driver 14 may determine a second font size based on the first font size of the received print data and the size change information confirmed in step S200 (S420). Since step S420 is the same as or similar to step S410 described above, a detailed description will be omitted.

Subsequently, the printer driver 14 may generate an image corresponding to the first character string of the received print data according to the determined second font size (S422).

That is, when the font size (first font size) of the print data received by the printer driver 14 is 15 and the size change information is 70%, as described above, the second font size may be determined to be 10, At this time, in step S422, the printer driver 14 generates an image corresponding to the first character string of the print data, wherein the font size of the first character string is the first font size used for the original print data The size of the second font size determined in step S420 may be determined.

Subsequently, the printer driver 14 may generate a first print command for printing the generated image (S424).

The second print command generated in step S424 may be an image print command.

Thus, in the same manner as the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5, not only is it possible to solve the conventional problem that the print data using the font supported by the POS printer is lost and printed when the size change is requested, The print data using the supported fonts can be appropriately resized and printed according to the size change request.

Next, a third embodiment for generating a first print command will be described.

Referring to FIG. 7, the printer driver 14 may generate an image corresponding to the first character string according to the first font size of the received print data (S430).

Subsequently, the printer driver 14 may change the size of the generated image based on the size change information (S432).

Finally, the printer driver 14 may generate a first print command for printing the resized image (S434).

The first print command generated in step S434 may be an image print command.

Thus, as in the first and second embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that print data using a font supported by POS printer is lost and printed when there is a size change request However, it is possible to appropriately change the size of the print data using the fonts supported by the POS printer according to the size change request, so that the print data can be printed. Particularly, according to the third embodiment, the data created using the fonts supported by the force printer 20 can be changed in size so as to be exactly matched with the size change information input by the user or the like.

Next, a fourth embodiment for generating the first print command will be described.

Referring to FIG. 8, the printer driver 14 may determine the second font size based on the first font size of the received print data and the size change information confirmed in step S200 (S440). Since step S420 is the same as or similar to step S410 described above, a detailed description will be omitted.

Subsequently, the printer driver 14 can select a third font that the force printer 20 can not recognize (S442). The third font may be selected arbitrarily among the plurality of fonts other than the fonts recognizable by the force printer 20. Alternatively, if there is a font that the POS printer 20 can not recognize among the fonts used for the previous print data received from the application 10, the third font may include fonts used for the previous print data ≪ / RTI >

Then, the printer driver 14 may generate an image of the first character string corresponding to the print data according to the determined second font size and the selected third font (S444).

Then, the printer driver 14 may generate a first print command for printing the generated image (S446).

The first print command generated in step S446 may be an image print command.

Thus, as in the first to third embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that print data using a font supported by POS printer is lost and printed when there is a size change request In addition, print data using fonts supported by the POS printer can be appropriately resized and printed in accordance with the size change request. However, unlike the first to third embodiments described above, the print data written in the font recognizable by the force printer 20 can be printed in a font different from the originally created font.

As described above, various embodiments for generating / transmitting the first print command in the case where the font for the print data is a font recognizable by the POS printer 20 as a result of the execution of the step S300 has been described.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S300 that the font for the print data is a font that the POS printer 20 can not recognize, the printer driver 14 generates a second print command (S600) The second print command can be transmitted (S700).

Hereinafter, various embodiments for generating the second print command will be described.

9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating a method of generating a second print command according to some embodiments of the present invention.

First, a first embodiment for generating a second print command will be described.

9, the printer driver 14 determines the fourth font size based on the font size (hereinafter referred to as the third font size) of the received print data and the size change information confirmed in step S200 (S610). The method for determining the fourth font size is the same as or similar to the method for determining the second font size in step S410, so a detailed description will be omitted.

Then, the printer driver 14 may generate an image corresponding to the second character string of the received print data according to the determined fourth font size (S612).

Subsequently, the printer driver 14 may generate a second print command for printing the generated image (S614).

The second print command generated in step S614 may be an image print command.

Thereby, the force printer 20 can appropriately adjust the size of the printing target document created using the font that the force printer 20 can not recognize, and print the document.

Next, a second embodiment for generating a second print command will be described.

Referring to FIG. 10, the printer driver 14 may determine a fourth font size based on the third font size and size change information for the received print data (S620). The method for determining the fourth font size is the same as or similar to the method for determining the second font size in step S410, so a detailed description will be omitted.

Then, the printer driver 14 can select a fourth font that the POS printer can recognize (S622). The fourth font may be arbitrarily selected from a plurality of fonts that the force printer 20 can recognize. Alternatively, if there is a font that the POS printer 20 recognizes among the fonts used for the previous print data received from the application 10, the fourth font may include fonts used for the previous print data ≪ / RTI >

Then, the printer driver 14 may generate a second print command including the determined fourth font size, the selected fourth font, and the second string of the received print data (S624).

The second print command generated in step S624 may be a string print command or a code print command.

Thereby, the force printer 20 can appropriately adjust the size of the printing target document created using the font that the force printer 20 can not recognize, and print the document. According to the second embodiment for generating the second print command in comparison with the first embodiment, the printer driver 14 can transmit only the data for the character string instead of transmitting the image data, The data transfer amount between the POS printer 10 and the force printer 20 can be reduced.

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, a second print command (image print command) for outputting the image generated after first generating an image corresponding to the second character string having the third font size of the received print data It is also possible to generate the second print command.

In the method of transmitting the print command for force printer according to the present invention described above, the steps constituting each embodiment are not essential, and therefore, each embodiment can selectively include the above-described steps. Moreover, each step constituting each embodiment is not necessarily performed according to the order described, and the step described later may be performed before the step described earlier.
