Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention provides a numerical display area on a part of the display surface for displaying printed characters and characters to be printed on a CRT (cathode ray tube), and also provides an information input means necessary for typesetting. The present invention relates to a display device for a phototypesetting machine in which the input information is calculated by a calculation unit, and necessary numerical information is displayed from a CRT control unit in a numerical display area of a CRT display surface.

Conventionally, in the case of phototypesetting machines, the operator calculates the layout on the original before printing the original, and the operator sets the feed amount etc. according to the calculation result and performs the work. was. However, this layout calculation is extremely troublesome work and can be said to be a major hindrance to phototypesetting work, and furthermore, it is impossible to calculate layouts for the recently popular types of tsume-kumi or tsume-komi fonts. Ta.

This invention provides a numerical display area in a part of the screen of the monitor display device of the phototypesetting machine, and allows the input means to input information and the calculation unit to display the calculated results. The purpose of this is to enable information such as feed amount to be obtained without performing allocation calculations.

To explain the drawings below, in Figure 1, 1 is the light source of the phototypesetting machine. 2 is a reflective mirror.
A condenser lens 3 condenses the light from the light source 1. 4 is the dial. 5 is a photographic aperture, which projects only one character on the dial 4. 6 is the main lens system, which enlarges and reduces the character image. 7 is Shyatsuta. 8 is a magazine in which the photosensitive material 9 is attached. 10 is a half mirror, which divides the light beam of the letter image on the dial 4. Reference numeral 11 denotes an imager that converts an optical image into an electrical signal. 12 is a CRT control unit. 1
3 is a CRT display device.

The CRT display screen is provided with a monitor display section 14, a comparison character display section 15, a memory character display section 16, and a numerical display area 17. 18 is a group of button switches of the information input means, and 19 is a calculation section thereof.

The mechanism of the phototypesetting machine is the same as that of the conventional typesetting machine.

A half mirror 10 is provided in the photosetting optical path, and this optical image is received by an imager 11, converted into an electric signal and controlled by a CRT control unit 12, and characters are reproduced on a monitor display unit 14 of a CRT display device 13. do.
In this case, the memory of the previously printed character image is reproduced and displayed on the comparison character display section 15. Regarding the above matters, please refer to the previous application, patent application No. 54-37825.
(Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-128460).

This idea has been developed further by providing a numerical display area 17 in a part of the CRT display section 13, and providing information input switches 18 and a calculation section 19 for the numerical values displayed here to provide information necessary for allocation calculation. Automatically calculated by inputting information,
Q: Lens series, N: Number of characters, L: Line length, H: Number of feed teeth, etc. are displayed, and the operator only needs to operate the phototypesetting machine based on this information, which is different from the conventional method on the manuscript. Allocation calculations are completely omitted.

Furthermore, the lens series is inputted using the input means, and the comparison character is gradually brought closer to the character displayed on the monitor by pressing the movement direction indicating button switch □→ in the input means several times.

If you make it so that the comparison character approaches the monitor display by 1/32 em (em: full-width phototypesetting character) each time you press this movement direction command switch □→, you can press the → button several times. When the comparative characters on the CRT screen approach just before touching the characters displayed on the monitor, read the feed amount in the numerical display area 17 and operate the phototypesetting machine with that feed amount, and then you can create a font typesetting. In addition, by approaching the paper in the same way and operating the phototypesetting machine using the number displayed on the screen for the feed amount in the state of indentation, inset printing is also possible.

FIG. 2 is a partial diagram illustrating the numerical display area of the CRT display device 13, and shows the following: N: number of characters N: number of feed teeth L: line length Q: lens series.

Now, if I explain the case of printing as shown in Figure 3 A,
From the input button switch group 18, press the □Q button.

Numeric keys (buttons) □3 □2 Press.

□L button Press.

Numeric keys (buttons) □6 □0 Press.

Press the MW button (write to memory).

Press and hold the number of characters button.

Numeric key (button)□5 Press.

Press the plant calculation button.

When each input is completed in the above order, the calculation is performed in the calculation unit 19 and entered in the CRT control unit 12, and as shown in the numerical display area shown in Figure 2: Number of characters: 5 Number of feed teeth: 52 Line length: 60 Lens Series: 32 is displayed, and the operator sets the number of feed teeth on the phototypesetting machine to 52.
You can create the typesetting you want by simply setting the teeth and printing five predetermined characters.

Also, if we describe the operating procedure in Figure 3 B, □Press Q button.

Numeric keys (buttons) □3 □2 Press.

□L button Press.

Ten keys (buttons) □6 □0 Press.

Press the MW button (write to memory).

Press and hold the number of characters button.

Press numeric key (button) □4.

Center alignment button Press.

Then, N: 4 H: 72 L: 60 Q: 32 is displayed in the numerical display area, and the number of feeds from the current position to the first printing position, 72, is displayed. When the operator has sent 72 teeth, he can set the number of teeth to 32 and print 4 characters in solid feed to create the desired typesetting.

In this way, the allocation calculation is automatically performed by simply inputting the necessary information, and the result of the calculation is displayed, so that the operator can easily know the feed amount.

In addition, since the phototypesetting device and the display device are divided along line A-A in Fig. 1, even in a conventional manual phototypesetting machine, a half mirror can be inserted into the phototypesetting light path to direct the typesetting light beam. Once taken out, a display device can be set up separately and light can be received by the image pickup device, so that it can be used as a useful phototypesetting device that can be displayed on a monitor and can also easily perform layout calculations.
