(Example) An example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings of FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a document editing device according to the present invention. 33 in the figure, the keyboard/mouse control section 11 is connected to the keyboard 12 or the above-mentioned keyboard 12.
It inputs and controls various data including document data and commands from a mouse 13 connected to the mouse 13, and outputs commands corresponding to the input to a central processing unit (CPU) 14 such as P/R4.

The CPU 14 controls the keyboard/mouse control section 11, the real memory 15, the disk control section 16, the printer system tI1 section 18, the drawing control section 20, and the display control section according to the commands input from the keyboard/mouse control section 11 and the corresponding programs. 22, as well as predetermined calculations,
Performing processing, etc.

The real memory 15 and the disk 17 store a program for executing manual printing according to the present invention, document data, and the keyboard 1.
2 or the mouse 13 are stored therein. Further, the disk 17 stores data that cannot be stored in the real memory 15 among the above data, and the data stored in the disk 17 is transferred to the disk under the control of the disk control unit 16 as necessary. 17 and stored in the real memory 15.

The printer control unit 18 controls printing of the printer 19 in accordance with instructions from the CPU 14.

The printer 19 is composed of a laser printer or the like, and, under the control of the printer control unit 18, performs manual printing of drawing data developed in a print drawing memory 21, which will be described later, or drawing using paper set in the printer 19. Perform normal printing, which prints based on data. Further, a paper detection sensor 24 for detecting manually fed paper is provided at a predetermined position of the printer 19, and the detection result by the sensor 24 is input to the CPU 14 via the printer control section 1B. The CPU 14 sets the printer 19 from the normal printing mode to the manual printing mode in accordance with the detection result, and executes manual printing.

The printing drawing memory 21 reads document data, etc. under the control of the drawing control section 20, develops data based on the document data, etc., and reads out the developed drawing data.

The display unit 22 controls the display of the display device 23 in accordance with instructions from the CPU 14.

The display device 23 is composed of a display such as a CRT, and displays a menu of print formats such as manual printing or normal printing using paper set in the printer 19 on the screen according to the control of the display control section 22. Display and mouse 13
A cursor (not shown) that moves in conjunction with the movement of the cursor allows the menu to be operated again. Further, the display device 23 is
The data developed in the display drawing memory 27 is displayed on the screen.

Under the control of the CPLJ 14, the display drawing memory 26, like the print drawing memory 21, stores document data, etc., develops data based on the document data, etc., and reads the developed data. .

Next, the manual print mark 91 processing operation of the text@editing apparatus according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail based on the flowchart shown in FIG. In the figure, when a user specifies document data and a print execution command is issued to a predetermined printer 19, the CPU 14 performs a print start process of opening the document data and the file of the printer 19 (step 101).

First, it is determined based on the detection result from the paper detection sensor 24 whether or not paper for the manual stamp 11 is inserted into the printer 19 (step 102).

If no manual paper is inserted into the printer 19, normal printing is performed using paper of the size set in the printer 19 (step 104).
, performs printing end processing (step 11 t, ),
Mark @ ends the operation. In addition, if paper for manual printing is inserted into the printer 19, CPtJ 1
Step 4 sets the printer 19 to manual printing mode (
Step 105). Next, the CPLI 14 reads the document data to be printed from the real memory 15 or the disk 17 and stores it in the printing drawing memory 21 (step 10
6). The expansion to the printing drawing memory 21 is shown in FIG.
As shown in a), the printer 19 uses the maximum paper size that can be filled with 1ull, and when the above development is completed,
The drawing data for the maximum paper size is transferred to the printer 19 (step 107). And printer 1
9 to print (step 108).

The printer 19 uses the data transferred in response to the above instruction (see FIG. 3(a)) to form an image on the manual paper of the desired size, as if printing on the largest size paper on which the printer 19 can print the mark 91. However, as shown in Figure 3(b), for example, if the size of the original and the manual paper are the same, if you print so that the position of the paper to be formed is aligned with the upper left position of the paper, the original size will actually be the same. The print result is the same as if the same size of data was transferred and printed. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3(C), even if the size of the original and the manual paper are different, as shown in Fig. 3(b),
Similarly, since the transferred data is simply copied onto the paper, printing does not depend on the paper on which it is inserted. When the printer 19 finishes printing the transferred data, it outputs a signal to the CPU 14 notifying the end of printing.

Next, when the CPLI 14 receives the above signal, it determines whether or not all pages of data have been expanded to the printing drawing memory 21 (step 109).

Here, if there is still data to be developed, the process returns to step 106 and the document data to be printed is developed in the two drawing memories, and printing is executed on the developed drawing data. In addition, when the data has been developed for all pages, the manual printing mode of the printer 19 is canceled (step 110), and the printer 19 is set to the normal, r, dew or j mode to print the text. Yof-Yuya Printer 1
A printing end process is performed to close the file No. 9 (step 111), and the printing operation is ended.

Therefore, in the present invention, when starting manual printing, there is no need to specify manual printing, and there is no need to select paper for manual printing in advance. There is no need to change the printing allowance, etc., and printing can be performed on manual paper of any size. As a result, even when performing manual printing, the user can print using the same menu operations as in normal printing, thereby reducing the number of operating procedures. Therefore, the operability of the system in data printing can be improved and a better interface can be provided.

Further, normally, a printing device can only use paper of a certain size determined by paper tray limitations, etc., but in the present invention, it is possible to print with a printing device even with a paper size not specified for the document editing device.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, the manual stamp lli? l
] Detects paper insertion and sets the manual feed stamp 1 according to the detection result, which eliminates the need for the user to specify manual print, and data transfer using a fixed paper size, so printing can be done in advance. Since data can be printed on paper without having to select the size of manual paper, the operability of the system in data printing can be improved.
