BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form print format creating method for creating a form print format in which print items to be printed and print positions are predetermined.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a sales management program that performs various processes related to ordering, sales, and accounts receivable of products and a stock inventory management program that performs various processes related to purchasing, purchasing, and inventory of products have become widespread. There is. By introducing such a management program, the data related to the sale and purchase of products are digitized, and the digitized data is used to receive orders for products, sell them, sell them, purchase them, purchase them,
We are trying to improve the efficiency of these management operations by performing various management related to inventory.

In such management work, it is necessary to print digitized data on various forms such as invoices, various slips for orders, sales, purchases, delivery notes and the like. However, the print format of the form is predetermined in the management program, and it is possible to print only in the predetermined print format. Therefore, with the introduction of the management program, there has been a problem that the form used conventionally must be changed.
However, there is resistance to changing the form that has been used in the past, especially the form such as the delivery note for the customer, and there is a strong demand for using the same form.

[0004]

However, when the print format is determined in advance by the conventional management program and it is inevitable to print on the form that has been used conventionally, the print portion must be a custom-made program, There was a problem that it took time and development cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a form print format creating method capable of easily creating a print format in which a print item to be printed and a print position thereof are suitable for a predetermined form.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object is to compare a form in which print items to be printed and print positions thereof are predetermined with a coordinate registration sheet in which coordinate values of print positions at the time of printing are described. Based on the coordinate value of the coordinate registration sheet, the coordinate value of each print item of the form, the print instruction data such as the print length is set, and based on the set print instruction data, the form is printed. This is achieved by a form print format creating method characterized by creating a print format.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the print item and the print position of the print item to be printed are compared with the coordinate registration sheet in which the coordinate value of the print position at the time of printing is compared, and the coordinate registration sheet Based on the coordinate values, set print instruction data such as the coordinate value and print length of each print item on the form, and create a print format for printing the form based on the set print instruction data. Therefore, it is possible to easily create a print format in which print items to be printed and print positions thereof are suitable for a predetermined form.
