Abstract

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a page skip printing method of a printer capable of preventing unwanted pages by skipping unwanted pages according to a page skip command.

The page skip printing method of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of receiving data to be printed from a host to the printer, determining whether the page skip function is selected in the printer, and if the page skip function is selected, And a page skipping step of discarding data corresponding to the input page transmitted to the printer without printing the input page until the data of the page is input.

The page skip printing method according to the present invention can skip unwanted pages and print the next page according to the page skip command, thereby preventing unnecessary printing of pages and waste of consumables by printing unnecessary pages. It can be effective.

Description

How to print a page skip

The present invention relates to a printer, and more particularly, to a one-page skip printing method for skipping pages that do not require printing to prevent printing of unnecessary pages.

Generally, a printer is a computer peripheral device that receives print data from a computer and prints it on paper. At this time, the print data input to the printer is transformed into output data for mechanical printing by the printer header. At this time, the data transmitted from the computer to produce the output data has a certain format, and the intermediate data image is composed of commands so that the printer interprets the data to produce the output data.

As described above, in general, a printer receives data from a computer, converts the data into a printable form, and prints the data on the paper. In order to print, i.e., to print the next page, this page cannot be printed, and there is a problem in that waste of printing time and consumables are caused by printing unnecessary pages.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of printing a page skip of a printer capable of preventing printing of an unnecessary page by skipping an unwanted page according to a page skip command.

In order to achieve the above object, a page skip printing method of a printer of the present invention includes receiving data to be printed from a host to a printer, determining whether a page skip function is selected in the printer, and selecting the page skip function. And a page skipping step of discarding the data corresponding to the input page transmitted to the printer without printing the input page until the data of the next page is input.

Hereinafter, a method of printing a page skip of a printer according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a printer supporting page skip according to the present invention. As shown, the central processing unit 2 controls and manages the entire operation while interfacing with the host computer 1, the ROM 3 storing the program to be executed in the central processing unit 2, and the central processing unit 1 RAM 4 for sequentially storing and outputting data of the host computer 1 and the like, a printing unit 5 for printing, and giving a page skip signal to the central processing unit 2. It comprises a page skip button 6 for.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a page skip printing method of the printer of the present invention. As shown, first, data to be printed and a key input for controlling the printer operation are received from the host computer 1 (S1).

After data input and key input are performed on the printer, it is determined whether the page skip function is selected by the page skip button 6 (S2).

As a result of determining whether the page skip function is selected, if the page skip function is selected, data is inputted and discarded until a command indicating the end of one page appears when output or processing of the page currently being printed or processed is stopped. (S3), and performs the printer function from the next page.

In this case, the command may use a hexadecimal number C.

On the other hand, as a result of determining whether the page skip function is selected, if the page skip function is not selected, an existing printer function is performed and the input data is output to the paper (S4).

As described above, the page skip printing method according to the present invention can skip unwanted pages and print the next page according to the page skip command, thereby preventing printing of unnecessary pages during printing, thereby wasting printing time due to unnecessary page printing. And can prevent the waste of consumables.

Claims (3)

Receiving the data to be printed from the host to the printer, determining whether the page skip function is selected for the printer, and if the page skip function is selected, do not print the input page until the data of the next page is input. And a page skip step of discarding data corresponding to the input page transmitted to the printer without using the page skip printing method. The method of claim 1, wherein the skipping the page is performed until a command indicating the end of the input page appears. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the command is hexadecimal C.
