Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily confirm the dot constitution of character font by providing a dot displaying function capable of alloting one dot of character font to an adequate one character to a Chinese character printer controller. CONSTITUTION:Since, in the usual case, dot display print-indicating signals 11 and 12 by manual operation or command are not present, a register 15 storing dot state is not set, NO is judged by a decisional device 16, an arithmetic unit 17 is actuated, character code of a data register 14 is calculated, and actual printing 1 is made. On the other hand, when the signal 11 or 12 is input, a state register 15 is set, the character code of the data register 14 is calculated by the arithmetic unit 18 in response to YES of the decisional device 16, and dot display printing 2 is made. Dot display printing for confirming the dot constitution of the character font can thus be easily made without interposition of soft wear utility on the host side.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a kanji printer control method in a kanji printer control device.

[Prior art]

Conventional kanji printer control devices do not have a dot display print function that shows the dot structure of the character font built into the device; instead, each dot in the character font must be converted into an appropriate character on the host side through the intervention of a software utility. The only way to do this was to perform the matching process and then send it to a kanji printer for printing.

In addition, it is generally difficult to send back the character font information built into the kanji printer control device to the host side, and in reality, it is virtually impossible for the user to display the built-in fonts on the user side (even if it is inconvenient for maintenance). there were.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and is provided with a function for checking the dot configuration of the character font of internal characters or external characters built into the kanji printer control device, and is used for maintenance or external The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kanji printer control system that prints dot display when developing character fonts and facilitates confirmation of the dot configuration of character fonts.

[Few inventions]

The gist of the present invention is to provide a kanji printer control device with a dot display function that assigns one dot of a character font to an appropriate character, and when evaluating the printing of a kanji printer, the dot display function allows one dot of a character font to be assigned to an appropriate character. This is a kanji printer control method that displays dots assigned to one appropriate sentence so that the dot structure of the character font can be easily confirmed.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a Kanji print. In the figure, 1 shows an example of an actual print, and 2 shows an example of a dot display print.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing part of the structure of the Kanji printer control device. In the figure, reference numeral 11 indicates a dot display print state instruction signal manually generated, 12 indicates a dot display print state instruction signal based on a command, 13 indicates a dot display print state instruction signal, 14 indicates a data register for storing the code of the character to be printed, and 15 indicates a dot display print state instruction signal. A status register 16 stores the dot display printing state; 16 is a determiner for determining whether or not the dot display printing state is set; and 17 is an arithmetic unit for normal actual printing.

18 is a computing unit for dot display printing.

In a normal case, the dot display print state instruction signal 11 manually generated or the dot display print state instruction signal 12 generated by a command does not exist, so the register 15 that stores the dot display state is not set, and the determiner [b] makes a NO determination. , and the arithmetic unit 17 is activated. The arithmetic unit 17 calculates the character code stored in the data register ]4,
The data is output to a printer and an actual print as shown in 1 in FIG. 1 is performed.

The status register 15 is set when there is a manual dot display print status instruction signal 11 or a command-generated dot display status instruction signal 12. Determiner 16 is YES
is determined, and the arithmetic unit 18 is activated. The computing unit 18 computes the character code stored in the data register 14, outputs it to the printer, and prints out a dot display as shown at 2 in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the kanji printer control device of FIG. 2. Normally, the status register 15 is off, so the determiner 16 is N, (3).

A determination of O is made (step 21), and the arithmetic unit 17 is activated (step 22). The data register 140 character code is calculated (step 23), and actual printing is performed (step 24). When the status register 15 turns on, the determiner 16
The determination is YES (step 21), and the arithmetic unit 18 is activated (step 25). The character code of the data register 14 is calculated (step 26), and a dot display is printed (step 27).

According to the above embodiment, it is possible to print a dot display for checking the dot structure of a character font on a kanji printer without performing special software processing. It is virtually impossible to send the existing character font to the host,
Although it was impossible for the user to print the character font stored in the kanji printer control device in a dot display,
According to the above implementation, this is easily possible.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the kanji printer control system according to the present invention is set by a dot display print state instruction signal manually or by a command (4).

A register and an arithmetic unit for printing one dot of a character font in correspondence with one appropriate character are provided, and when the register is turned on by a dot display print instruction signal, the arithmetic unit is activated and the actual print is performed. Since dot display printing is performed instead, it has an extremely excellent effect in that dot display printing for confirming the dot structure of a character font can be easily performed without the intervention of a software utility on the host side.
