Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a side face printing system which can control effectively forms of continuous form paper. CONSTITUTION:A side face printing data input means 5 inputs a side face printing data containing a number of total pages of a report file from a report control means 4, and informs a side face printing data converting means 6 thereof. The side face printing data converting means 6 analyzes the received side face printing data, and outputs an image which is subdivided horizontally with the number of total pages of the report file to a side face printing data output means 7. A printer control means 8 receives control from the report control means 4, receives a content of the report file to be printed on forms from an intermediate report file 3, receives the side face printing data to be printed on a perforation part being a fold of the forms from the side face printing data output means 7, outputs alternately their information, and outputs these pieces of information to a printer 9 while it is controlling their information so as to be enabled to be printed respectively on a suitable position. The printer 9 outputs output forms 10 from the received data.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a side surface printing method, and more particularly to a side surface printing method for printing on a perforated portion which is a fold of continuous paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional printing method for a continuous sheet book, printing is executed by controlling not to print at the perforated portion which is a fold of the continuous sheet. For this reason, when sorting various types, various types, and a large amount of printed books printed on continuous paper, human beings searched for the first and last pages of the book and sorted them for each book. In addition, when managing the book to be stored, a person has entered the title of the book on the side of the book to manage it.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional printing method for a continuous sheet book, since a person sorts out the first and last pages of the book in order to sort the book, sorting is performed for each book. Mistakenly overlook the beginning of the book and sort multiple books as one book, or write the wrong book title on the side of the book. In addition, since the title name entry format may not be uniform, there is a problem that the work of managing the book cannot be performed efficiently.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a side face printing system which can efficiently perform a work of managing a continuous sheet book.

[0005]

According to the side face printing method of the present invention, printing is performed on a perforation portion which is a fold of a continuous sheet book so that the perforation portion is formed in a folded state of the continuous paper. It is a configuration in which meaningful characters and figures are displayed on the side surface including.

The side face printing method of the present invention includes a registration means for receiving and registering print data to be printed on a book, and a character and a figure to be printed on the side surface of the continuous paper contained in the print data registered by the registration means. Management means for extracting and outputting the side print raw data consisting of data and the total number of print data of the print data, side print data input means for receiving and storing the side print raw data from the managing means, and the side print data The side surface printing data conversion means for receiving the side surface printing raw data stored in the input means and converting the side surface printing data into the side surface printing data subdivided in the horizontal direction, and the side surface printing data are inserted between the printing data to be printed on the book. It may be provided with side print data output means for outputting to a control means for controlling sending to the printing device.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The book print data 1 is registered by outputting the report file to the intermediate report file 3 via the report file registration means 2. At the same time, the report management means 4 extracts from the report file registration means 2 side print original data consisting of character and graphic data to be printed on the side of the book included in the report file and the total number of books in the report file, and prints the side. Input to the data input means 5. The side print data input means 5 sends the input side print data to the side print data conversion means 6. The side print data conversion means 6 adjusts the character and graphic data in the horizontal direction from the received character and graphic data to be printed on the side of the book table and the total number of report tables in the report file. Converted to side print data that has been subdivided. The side print data conversion means 6 sends the side print data subdivided in the horizontal direction to the side print data output means 7. The side face print data output means 7 outputs the side face print data which has been subdivided to the printer device control means 8. The printer device control means 8 is controlled by the report management means 4 and receives the contents of the report file to be printed on the book table from the intermediate report file 3 and prints it on the perforated portion which is the fold of the book table. The printer device 9 receives the print data from the side print data output means 7 and controls such that the information can be printed at an appropriate place on the continuous paper.
Output to. The printer device 9 outputs the output book table 10 from the received data.

Next, the operation will be described.

When the side face printing method of the present invention is activated, the book table print data 1 to be printed by the printer device 9 is
It is registered as the intermediate report file 3 by the report file registration means 2. The report management means 4 stores information about which book table print data 1 was used to generate which intermediate report file 3 and side print data consisting of characters and graphic data to be printed on the side of the book table to be notified at the same time. After the registration of the book print data 1, the side print data input unit 5 inputs the side print data including the side print data and the total number of pages of the report file from the report management unit 4, and the side print data conversion unit 6 is provided. To notify. The side print data conversion means 6 analyzes the received side print data and outputs an image obtained by horizontally dividing the report file into the side print data output means 7 by dividing the total number of pages of the report file. The printer device control means 8 is controlled by the report management means 4, receives the contents of the report file to be printed on the book from the intermediate report file 3,
The side print data to be printed on the perforated portion which becomes the fold of the book is received from the side print data output means 7, and this information is alternately output so that the continuous paper can be printed at appropriate places. While outputting to the printer device 9. The printer device 9 outputs the output book table 10 from the received data. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a side surface of the output book table output by the printer device.

It is shown that the size of the printed characters changes according to the total number of pages in the book, and that the bar is printed so that the boundary becomes clear. This display method shows an example, and there is no problem even if the other display is performed.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, printing is performed on the perforated portion which becomes the fold of the continuous sheet, so that the continuous sheet is folded and the side surface including the perforated portion is printed. By displaying meaningful characters and figures,
This has the effect that the work of managing the continuous sheet book can be performed efficiently.
