Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a document editing apparatus capable of ignoring a print pause code during printing.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to create a beautiful document, a printing mode (pitch change, ribbon change, type change, etc.) is used when creating a document.
There is a document editing apparatus in which a print suspension code indicating a change instruction is set at a necessary place in a document, and when printing reaches the print suspension code during printing, temporary printing is stopped and the print mode is changed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When examining the contents of a document created as described above, a provisional printed matter that is not changed in pitch, ribbon, or type is sufficient.

However, since the conventional document editing apparatus always stops when there is a print suspension code, the temporary printing as described above cannot be performed, and the printing operation is troublesome and time consuming.

[Means for Solving Problems] An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.
The following configuration illustrated in the figure is adopted.

That is, the gist of the present invention is that in the document editing apparatus M2 having the print function of the document M1 including the print suspension code indicating the print mode change instruction, the instruction means M3 for instructing to ignore the print suspension code. And a print control unit M4 that prints the document M1 by ignoring the print suspension code when the instruction unit M3 instructs to ignore the print suspension code. It is in.

[Operation] In the document editing apparatus M2 of the present invention, when the instruction means M3 instructs to ignore the print pause code, the print control means M4 ignores the print pause code even if the document M1 has the print pause code. Then, the document M1 is printed.

Therefore, the provisional printed matter can be printed quickly and easily.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described.

The present embodiment is a document editing apparatus having a function of ignoring a print suspension code and printing when printing a document including a print suspension code. The present invention is not limited to this, and includes various embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the document processing apparatus of this embodiment.

As shown in the figure, the document processing apparatus of this embodiment includes a keyboard 1 for inputting characters and editing instructions, a display device (CRT display) 3 for displaying characters and figures, a flexible disk drive 5 as an external storage device, and characters. It comprises a printer 7 for printing characters and figures using daisy-wheel type characters, an electronic control unit 10 connected to these devices for controlling input / edit / print of documents, and the like. The electronic control unit 10 is configured as an arithmetic logic operation circuit centering on a well-known CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13, etc., and a video RAM 1 for storing image data such as characters and figures to be displayed on the CRT display 3.
5, a keyboard input port 16 for inputting from the keyboard 1, a flexible disk drive controller 18 for reading / writing data by controlling the flexible disk drive 5, a printer output port 20 for outputting print data to the printer 7, etc. Equipped with. Also video
RAM15 has a so-called dual-port RAM configuration, CP
It is configured so that it can be accessed also by a CRT controller 22 provided independently of U11. CRT controller 22
Repeatedly reads the contents of the video RAM15 at a cycle determined by the scanning frequency of the CRT display 3 and displays this on the CRT.
Display on display 3. Therefore, the data written in the predetermined area of the video RAM 15 by the CPU 11 immediately becomes C
Displayed on the RT display 3.

The keyboard 1 has character keys 3 for entering characters.
1, 10 function keys 33 for editing and printing documents,
There are four cursor keys 35 for moving the cursor and a keyboard switch 37 for changing the keyboard layout according to the type of daisy wheel, and a control key 39 for inputting a print suspension code etc. by pressing in combination with the character key 31. Has been.

The user inputs characters by pressing the character keys 31 and pressing the function key 33 as necessary,
Documents can be edited by selecting various functions such as deletion, movement, and copying. The created document can also be written to the flexible disk set in the flexible disk drive 5 via the flexible disk drive controller 18. In addition, the print key 33a or the temporary print key 3
It is also possible to output to the daisy wheel type printer 7 by pressing 3b.

A document created by the document editing apparatus of this embodiment includes a print suspension code indicating a print mode change instruction.
The print pause code includes a keyboard change code input by switching the keyboard switch 37, a ribbon conversion code input by the control key 39 and the "R" key, and a stop code input by the control key 39 and the "S" key. , There is a pitch change code input by the pitch change key of the printer.

A document printing process in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. This processing is performed by the CPU 11 sequentially executing the programs stored in the ROM 12. This program is shown in FIG.

In this document editing device, the print key 33a or the temporary print key 3
The printing process is executed by pressing 3b. When the temporary print key 33b is pressed, a menu screen is displayed on the CRT display 3 before the printing process is executed, and it is selected whether or not to ignore each of the print suspension codes.

When the execution of the printing process is started, RAM1 is set in step S100.
Check whether there is a character to print in the document stored in 4,
If there is no character to be printed, this process ends, and if there is time to print, the process moves to step S110.
In step S110, the CPU 11 reads only one character from the above document.

In the following step S120, it is determined whether or not the read character is the print pause code. If it is not the print pause code, the character is output to the printer 7 in step S130, and the process returns to step S100.

On the other hand, if the character read in step S120 is the print suspension code, the main printing process is executed by the print key 33 in step S140.
It is checked whether it is activated by a or the temporary print key 33b.

If activated by the print key 33a, step S15
At 0, the print suspension code process described later is performed. On the other hand, in the case of the temporary print key 33b, in step S160, it is checked whether or not this print suspension code is the print suspension code designated to be ignored in the menu before the printing process, and the print suspension code designated to be ignored is used. If there is, nothing is performed and the process returns to step S100. If not, the process proceeds to step S150 to perform the print suspension code process.

When the control shifts to the print suspension code process of step S150, the operation indicated by the print suspension code is displayed on the CRT display 3. After the operator performs the operation, the print key 33a or the temporary print key 33b is pressed again to end the print suspension code process, and the control shifts to step S100. That is, if the print suspension code is the keyboard change code, the daisy wheel is converted into a predetermined one, if the print conversion code is the ribbon conversion code, the ink ribbon of the printer 7 is converted into a predetermined ink ribbon, and if it is the stop code, the character key is used. Characters are directly input and printed using 31, and if the pitch change code is used, the pitch change key of the printer is changed to a predetermined position.

In the above print processing, the document is printed by performing the above processing.

Since this embodiment is configured as described above, unnecessary print pause codes are ignored. Therefore, temporary printing can be performed quickly and easily.

[Advantages of the Invention] By adopting the above-described configuration, the document editing apparatus of the present invention quickly and easily performs printing such as temporary printing in which the print suspension code can be ignored.

Therefore, the operator can very easily and swiftly study the document.
