The present invention relates to a printing method of an optical mark reader using a facsimile, and more particularly, to store a sheet form of a predetermined optical mark reader (hereinafter abbreviated as OMR) in a facsimile, and to store OMR paper as necessary. The present invention relates to an OMR printing method using a facsimile that can be printed and used. The conventional facsimile machine does not have a function of printing an OMR paper, so the OMR paper must be stored separately and used as needed, and if the OMR paper is lost, the OMR function cannot be used.

In order to solve such a conventional problem, the present invention stores a predetermined OMR paper format in a ROM in a fax machine, inputs a predetermined program, and prints the OMR paper by simple key operation whenever OMR paper is needed. An object of the present invention is to provide a printing method of OMR using a facsimile, which will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the method of the present invention, in the CPU 7, detects that the key input through the key input unit 4 is the OMR output key, and if the OMR output key is used, the OMR stored in the ROM 9 Read one block of the form and print one line, then move the paper one line and detect if the line end signal is output. If there is no end signal, continue printing and moving one line at a time. The printing operation as described above is performed until input, and when the line end signal is output, the process returns to the process of detecting which key is input through the key input unit 4. Reference numeral 1 is a printer, 2 is a scanner, 3 is a mechanism driving unit, 5 is a modem, 6 is a main controller, 8 is a programmable ROM, and 10 is a RAM.

Referring to the effects of the present invention made as described above are as follows. First, when the user operates the OMR paper output key installed in the key input unit 4, the CPU 7 detects this and the OMR paper stored in the ROM 9 through the data bus DB and the address bus AB. The form data is read out and stored in the RAM 10.

At this time, the form data is divided into OMR paper by a predetermined unit area, and the font code is set in advance according to the corresponding figure or character, and 1mm in the horizontal direction and 8mm in the vertical direction and 1mm in the vertical direction. It is black and white data of a figure corresponding to 7.7 pixels.

In addition, the CPU 7 converts the character data of a predetermined unit area stored in the RAM 10 into one line data for 216 mm composed of 1728 dots (Dot) and sends the same to the printer 1 by the printer 1. It is printed on recording paper. After the CPU 1 prints one line, the mechanism driving unit 3 operates 1 / 7.7 mm to transfer the recording paper, and then repeats the above operation to print one page of OMR paper.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, it is possible to simply print a predetermined OMR paper using a general facsimile, so that there is no need to store the OMR paper separately, and to prevent the OMR function from being used if the OMR paper is lost. In particular, the functionality of the facsimile can be increased to improve the reliability of the product.

Claims (1)

The CPU 7 detects whether the key input through the key input unit 4 is an OMR output key. If the OMR output key is applied, the CPU 7 reads one block of the OMR form stored in the ROM 9, prints one line, and then prints the paper. Move one line and detect whether the line end signal is output. If there is no end signal, continue printing and moving by one line. If the line end signal is output, perform the above print operation until the block end signal is input. The method of printing an optical mark reader using a facsimile, characterized in that the process returns to the process of detecting which key is input through the key input unit (4) when the signal is output.
