Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute printing so that a longitudinal ruled line is connected, by changing paper feed width in a tabulating area and other area. CONSTITUTION:The number of dots X in the longitudinal direction of a character, the number of dots Y of a head, and the number of dots Z of paper feed of 1 line portion in the regular time are all integers, and relation of each dot number is X<=Y<Z. At first, in case of a regular printing mode containing no table, a character of the dots number X in the longitudinal direction is printed by 1 line, subsequently, paper is to a Z dot, and the following line is printed. After that, the same operation is repeated. In case of printing in the tabulating area, paper is fed for an N dot, a pattern is printed so that a ruled line is connected, and after that, paper is fed for a (Z-N) dot, and the following line is printed. N is an integer, and N<Y. In this way, a table whose longitudinal ruled line is kept connected is printed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This product is a mark of a word processor! Regarding the method. More specifically, regarding the printing method of a word processor that can print in such a way that vertical ruled lines are connected, the Word Processor 7, which is used to edit and proofread texts, is well known. Word processors usually come with printers that can input and output nine documents. By the way, tabulations, etc. are sometimes performed using a word processor. In such cases, tabulation patterns are treated in the same way as normal character patterns. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of such tabulation butter.

Using a tabulation pattern like HIM (D It is a figure showing a display state. In the same figure, a number is a ruled line.

The present Jitsumei line was created in consideration of these points, and is a printing method in which the vertical O ruled lines are connected by changing the paper feed width between the tabulation area and the non-tabulation area. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The gs diagram is a diagram showing a thermal printing state.

At the same 11KTh%/, 1 is a thermal head and 2 is a heating element. The number of heating elements 2 can be arbitrarily selected depending on the number of dots in the vertical direction of the printed characters.

The mark indicates the direction of movement of the head. B is a printing pattern.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the printing pattern and the number of dots. In the figure, X is the number of dots in the vertical direction of the character, Y is the number of dots in the head, and 2 is the number of dots in one line of paper during normal operation. Here, x, y, and z are all integers. The relationship between the numbers of dots is X≦Y(Z).The present invention will be explained using x, y, and z defined in this way.

First, in a normal printing state that does not include a table, one line of characters with the number of dots in the vertical direction is printed, and then the paper is fed by two dots F and the next line is printed. Below, similar operations are repeated. On the other hand, when entering the tabulation area, N dots of paper are sent.
After printing a pattern with connected vertical lines, next time (
It is assumed that there is a relationship (N is an integer) i<yo by feeding the paper by Z-N) and printing the next line. When printed in this way, vertical ruled lines are continuous and nine tables can be printed. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of printing printed in this manner. Here, to check whether you have entered the tabulation area, for example, use pl, p3゜p,, p in Figure 1.
5. p6. p7. The end of the tabulation area is confirmed using one of the putters 7 and 7. Also, the printing between the above circles is P P
Vertical 1' similar to P8 under the pattern of P etc.
3ν 4 Make sure to print ``butter/''.

In the above explanation, the examples are taken for printing, do, thermal, and do, but the term 9 is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to any device that can print in dot matrix format. can be applied. for example,
It may also be in the shape of a wire dot. Further, the word processor may be used not only for Japanese but also for foreign languages.

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a printing method in which vertical ruled lines are connected by changing the paper feed width between tabulation areas and non-tabulation areas.
