Abstract

페이지모드 프린터에서 매번 사용자가 메뉴상의 메세지를 확인하면서 에뮬레이션기능을 선택처리를 해야만 함에 따라 전원의 온/오프시 다시 선택해야만 하고 많은 시간을 낭비하는 것을 개선한다.In page mode printers, the emulation function must be selected each time the user checks a message on the menu, thus re-selecting when the power is turned on and off and wastes a lot of time.

이를 위하여 자동 에뮬레이션 모드로 설정된 상태에서 입력장치로 부터 한페이지분의 코드데이타틀 수신하는 것에 응답하여 수신 코드데이타의 데이타 스트림에 프린터 작업이 명령의 존재유무를 검사하여, 프린터 작업어 명령이 있을 경우 에뮬레이션 모드를 제1에뮬레이션 모드로 셋트한후 프린팅을 하며, 프린터 작업어 명령이 없을 경우 에뮬레이션 모드를 제2에뮬레이션 모드로 셋트한후 프린팅을 한다.To do this, in response to receiving one page of code data from the input device in the automatic emulation mode, the printer job checks for the presence of a command in the data stream of the received code data, and if there is a printer job command. After the emulation mode is set to the first emulation mode, printing is performed. If there is no printer work command, the emulation mode is set to the second emulation mode and printing is then performed.

따라서 사용자에게 편의를 제공하고 수동선택에 따른 시간낭비를 방지하게 된다.Therefore, it provides convenience for the user and prevents time wasted by manual selection.

Claims

In the page mode printer automatic emulation selection method, a process of checking the presence of a printer job command in the data stream of the received code data in response to receiving the code data for one page from the input device in the automatic emulation mode. And setting the emulation mode to the first emulation mode if there is a printer job language command during the checking process, and then printing the emulation mode to the second emulation mode if there is no printer job word command in the checking process. Automatic emulation selection method for a printer characterized in that the process consisting of the printing after.

The method of claim 1, wherein the first emulation mode is a PCL5 mode and the second emulation mode is a PDL mode.

In the page emulation selection method of the page mode printer, a method of setting the auto emulation mode by menu selection and receiving code data in response to receiving one page of code data from the input device in the auto emulation mode is set. Checking the existence of a printer job command in the data stream of the data stream, setting the emulation mode to PCL mode when the printer job command is present in the test step, and then printing the printer job word in the test step. If there is no command, the emulation mode is set to PDL mode, and then tinting is performed.
