프린터에 관한 것이다.It is about a printer.

2. 발명이 해결하려고 하는 기술적 과제2. The technical problem to be solved by the invention

프린터 메모리의 허용 범위내에서 프린트데이타를 자동 저장하며, 프린터 메모리에 저장된 적어도 하나의 프린트 데이타를 선택적으로 재 프린트하는 프린터에서 프린트 데이타자동 저장 및 선택적 재 프린트하는 방법을 제공한다.A method of automatically storing print data within an allowable range of a printer memory and providing a method of automatically storing and selectively reprinting print data in a printer that selectively reprints at least one print data stored in the printer memory.

3. 발명의 해결 방법의 요지3. Summary of the Solution of the Invention

프린터에서 프린트하는 방법은 프린트 명령키에 의해 프린트 메모리 할당 가능한가를 검사하는 과정과, 상기 검사과정에서 상기 프린트 메모리의 할당 영역이 존재할 데이타를 현재 위치한 페이지 포인터에 따라 해당메모리 영역에 저장하는 과정과, 상기 저장하는 과정과 동시에 상기 프린트 데이타를 프린트하는 과정과, 상기 프린트 과정 후 다음 순서의 저장위치로 상기 페이지 포인터를 이동하는 과정과, 상기 검사과정에서 프린트 메모리의 할당 영역이 존재하지 않을 시 오래된 프린트 데이타를 상기 프린트 메모리에서 제거하며, 상기 검사과정으로 되돌아가는 과정과, 저장된 상기 프린트 데이타가 존재할 시 재프린트를 위한 명령키에 의해 상기 프린트 메모리에 저장된 프린트 데이타에 메뉴번호를 부여하여 표시하는 과정과, 상기 표시과정 이후 소정의 상기 메뉴번호 선택키가 입력될 시 해당되는 프린트 데이타를 프린트하는 과정으로 이루어진다.The printing method of the printer may include: checking whether print memory may be allocated by a print command key; storing data in which the allocation area of the print memory is to be stored in a corresponding memory area according to a currently located page pointer; Printing the print data at the same time as the storing process, moving the page pointer to a storage position in a subsequent order after the printing process, and printing when the allocation area of the print memory does not exist in the checking process Removing data from the print memory, returning to the inspection process, and assigning and displaying a menu number to the print data stored in the print memory by a command key for reprinting when the stored print data exists; , The display process Thereafter, when the predetermined menu number selection key is input, the corresponding print data is printed.

4. 발명의 중요한 용도4. Important uses of the invention

프린터에서 프린트 데이타를 자동 저장한 후 프린트하며, 키 입력에 의해 재 프린트를 하고자 이를 구현한다.The printer automatically saves and prints the print data and implements it for reprinting by key input.

Claims

A method of printing in a printer, the method comprising: checking whether print memory can be allocated by a print command key; and when the allocation area of the print memory exists in the checking process, storing print data in a corresponding memory area according to a page pointer presently located. And printing the print data at the same time as the storing process, moving the page pointer to the next storage location after the printing process, and there is no allocation area of the print memory in the checking process. If not, the old print data is removed from the print memory, and a menu number is assigned to the print data stored in the print memory by a step of returning to the inspection process and a command key for reprinting when the stored print data exists. Displayed And, the display process after a predetermined number of the menu selection key is automatically stored print data in the printer according to the process constituted by any of printing the print data which is input when the characteristics and optionally re-printing method.

The method of claim 1, wherein the print command key and the command key for reprinting are connected to the printer and input from a host in which a printer driver exists.

The method of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the menu number display process is displayed on the host.

The method of claim 1, wherein the print command key and the command key for reprinting are input from a panel of the printer.

The method of claim 1 or 4, wherein the menu number display process is displayed on the panel.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu number assigning process assigns the first menu number from the oldest print data.

A method of automatically saving and printing print data in a printer having a panel key input means, the method comprising: checking whether a print command key is input by the panel key input means and assignable to the print memory when the print data exists; Storing the print data in a corresponding memory area according to a page pointer of a current position when the allocation area exists in the print memory, printing the print data at the same time as the storing process, and printing the print process. Thereafter, the page pointer is counted to move to the next storage location, and when there is no allocation area in the print memory during the inspection process, the oldest print data is removed from the print memory, and the process returns to the inspection process. Done by course The printer automatically prints the data storage method as claimed.

A method for automatically storing and printing print data in a printer connected to a host in which a printer driver is present, the method comprising: checking whether a print name key is input from the host and assignable to the print memory when the print data exists; Storing the print data in the corresponding memory area according to the page pointer of the current location; simultaneously printing the print data; and printing the print data at the same time after the printing process. Counting the pointer to move to the next storage location, and if there is no allocation area in the print memory during the inspection, removing the oldest print data from the print memory and returning to the inspection. How to print from a printer that features loads the data automatically stored.

A method for reprinting stored print data in a printer in which a panel key input means exists, wherein when a command key for reprinting is inputted by the panel key input means, a process of searching whether the print data previously stored in the printer memory exists. And assigning a first menu number from the oldest print data when the print data exists in the retrieval process, and displaying at least one stored printer data on the panel key input unit, and after the display process, the panel key. And reprinting the print data corresponding to the menu number when a specific menu number selection key is input from the input means.

A method for reprinting stored print data in a printer connected to a host in which a printer driver resides, the method comprising retrieving whether print data stored in advance is stored in the printer memory when a command key for reprinting is input by the host; And assigning a first menu number from the oldest print data when the print data exists in the retrieval process, displaying at least one stored print data on the host, and specifying a specific menu from the host after the display process. And reprinting the print data corresponding to the menu number when a number selection key is input.
