[Means to solve the problem]

The document processing device according to the present invention proportionally reduces characters, figures, etc. constituting the printed document in accordance with the printing paper size when the set paper size is different from the printing paper size. It is equipped with a printing enlargement control means 10 that performs control for enlarging.

(Function) If the paper size is different from the set paper size or the printing paper size, the print size control means 10 adjusts the characters, figures, etc. constituting the document in proportion to the printing paper size. Performs control to reduce or enlarge the image.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of an example of a display screen showing formatting items. Components corresponding to those shown in FIG. 7 are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted. Further, FIG. 3 is a 7-page diagram showing the processing performed by the main control unit 9 when printing is executed, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing the print mode to be set when printing is executed.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates that the print control section 8 outputs the document data in the storage section 6 to the printing device 4 in a format according to one set of data so that the print data matches the printing paper size used by the printing device 4. Print size control means that converts the size into In other words, if the print size is different from the set paper size or the print paper size is 1 (in this case, the characters, figures, etc. that make up the document to be printed are proportionately adjusted to the print paper size). Performs control to reduce or enlarge the image.

In FIG. 2, 24 is a creation paper item for setting the paper size of the document to be created, and 25 is a printing paper item for setting the size of printing paper used in the printing device. In FIG. 3, 31 is a step of determining whether the input code received from the input device 1 via the input control unit 5 is a print request code, 32 is a step of displaying and setting the print mode, and 33 is a print mode display.・Setting step 32: determining the selected print size; 34: setting the print image enlargement/reduction ratio in the print size control means; 35: clearing the print image enlargement/reduction ratio in the print size control means. (Magnification - 1) step, 36
is a step of instructing the print control unit to output. In Fig. 4, 24' is the document paper size selected in the creation paper item 24 in the format settings in Fig. 2, 25' is the print paper size selected in the print paper item 25C, and 26 is the printing paper size. This is a printing option that indicates whether to enlarge or reduce the paper size according to the printing paper size, or to output it as it is at the same size.
You can set parameters using the cursor keys.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, the process performed by the main control unit 9 when setting the output format is to instruct the display control unit 7 to display the format items shown in FIG. The settings made for the input control section 5 are received via the input control section 5, and the format data is transferred to the storage section 6. In the paper size item 24 of the format item, you can set the paper size of the literary data to be created regardless of the paper size that can be printed on the printer 4, and depending on the setting value, the number of characters per line item 22 and the number of lines per page item 23 can be set. Since the range of possible values changes, the range of possible settings for these items also varies (in Figure 2, the number of characters per line is up to 60, and the number of lines per page is up to 62). spreads. The printing paper item 25''C' is used to set the default value of the paper ners used by the printing device 4C.

The process performed by the main control unit 9 when printing is performed next is executed when it is determined whether or not the input code from the input device 1 is a print request (step 31). In that case, the display Instruct the display control unit 7 to display the print mode setting screen shown in FIG. 4 on the device 3, and set the print paper size 25.
' and print size 26, item selection using the up and down cursor keys of the input device 1 and parameter setting using the left and right cursor keys are accepted via the input control unit 5 (step 32). As a result, it is determined whether the print size 26 is in the automatic enlargement/reduction mode or the same size mode (step 33
), print size control means 10 in the case of automatic scaling mode.
The magnification determined from the print paper size 25' and the print size 26 (for example, if the document paper size 24' is A3 as shown in Figure 4)
If the printing paper size 25' is A4, then 0.71 times) is set (step 34). In addition, in the case of the same magnification mode, the magnification of the print size control means 10 is cleared (magnification -
1) (Rub (step 35). After that, the stamp control section 8
is instructed to generate and output stamp data from the Bunshi data and Yamashita data in the storage unit 6 (step 36).

Based on these settings, the print toning control means 10 enlarges or reduces the mark data outputted from the print control unit 8 to the printing device 4 by changing the font size used, supplementing dot image data, or thinning out the data. Processing is performed and the printout is output in accordance with the printing paper size of the printer 11 device 4.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, when the set paper size is different from the printing paper size, the characters, figures, etc. that make up the Bunshi to be printed are proportioned to the printing paper size. Since the structure is configured to reduce or enlarge the document, the degree of freedom in the format of the document that can be created can be improved.For example, a document with a paper size that cannot be used by the printing method can also be printed on nice paper that can be printed. Another effect can be obtained by reducing or enlarging copies using a copying machine after printing.
