DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention develops, for each character in text data including a character or the like input from a keyboard or the like, into dot pattern data in a predetermined pattern arrangement area based on the respective character pitches. Regarding a printing device that prints the dot pattern on a printing medium, especially when the boundary of the pattern arrangement area of the first character and the last character of a line including characters exceeds the boundary of the respective character pitches, By correcting the boundary of the character pattern arrangement area to match the boundary of the character pitch, the first character and the last character of the line will be out of the frame line even when the framing function (function to enclose characters etc. with ruled lines) is executed. The present invention relates to a printing apparatus capable of preventing the printing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been various printing devices that develop text data such as characters input via a keyboard into dot pattern data corresponding to each character and perform dot printing with various typefaces on a print-receiving medium. In such a printing apparatus, generally, a character pitch for each character or the like and a pattern arrangement area in which a dot pattern is arranged within the character pitch are determined in advance.
The configuration is such that characters and the like are dot-printed on the print-receiving medium while the dot pattern data of each character and the like are arranged in the pattern arrangement area. In a printing apparatus having a so-called framing function, a frame line is printed so as to surround each character or the like by a frame line when printing a character or the like.

[0003]

However, depending on the typeface of each character and the like, and depending on the type of character in each typeface, the pattern arrangement area where the dot pattern is arranged may exceed the character pitch. This will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory view schematically showing the relationship between the character pitch and the pattern arrangement area. FIG. 9A is a diagram showing the relation between the character pitch of the character "j" and the pattern arrangement area in a specific typeface. 9 (B) shows the relationship between the character pitch of the character “￥” and the pattern arrangement area in the same typeface.
As shown in FIG. 9A, the character pitch “100” (shown by a dotted line) is predetermined for the character “j”. However, from the characteristics of the font and the shape of the character “j”, the dot pattern is The left end 101A of the pattern arrangement area 101 (shown by a solid line) to be arranged is the left end 1 of the character pitch 100.
The relationship is set to exceed 00A to the left.

As shown in FIG. 9 (B), the character "@"
2 (indicated by a dotted line) is defined, but due to the characteristics of the typeface and the shape of the character “￥”, the right end 1 of the pattern area 103 (indicated by a solid line) in which the dot pattern is arranged
03A is set to exceed the right end 102A of the character pitch 102 in the right direction.

Therefore, text data including the characters "j" and "@" having the relationship between the character pitch and the pattern arrangement area, particularly, the character "j" is at the beginning of the line and the character "@" is at the end of the line. When printing while printing the text data to be printed, there are the following problems. This will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a print sample in which text data including characters "J" and "@" at the beginning and end of the line, respectively, is printed while framing.

In general, the left frame of the frame line printed when framing is performed is aligned with the beginning of the print line, and the right frame line is aligned with the end position of the print line. Is printed. At the same time, the left end position and the beginning position of the character pitch in the first character, and the right end position and the last position of the character pitch in the last character are matched with each other.

Therefore, when printing the text data shown in FIG.
Is the character pitch 10 of the first character "j".
0 is printed at the left end 100A, and the right frame line 104B of the frame frame line 104 is printed at the right end 102A of the character pitch 102 of the end-of-line character "@". Accordingly, as described in FIG. 9, the left end 101A of the pattern arrangement area 101 of the character “j” exceeds the left end 100A of the character pitch 100 in the right direction,
In addition, the right end 10 of the pattern arrangement area 103 of the character "@"
Since 3A is beyond the right end 102A of the character pitch 102 in the right direction, a part of the character "j" is printed out of the left frame line 104A of the frame frame line 104 to the left as shown in FIG. At the same time, a part of the character "@" is printed rightward from the right frame line 104B. As described above, when a part of the first character "j" or the last character "@" is printed out of the frame line 104, there is a problem that the appearance of the printed character is very poor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is intended to be applied to a case where the boundaries of the pattern arrangement regions of the first character and the last character of a line including characters and the like exceed the boundaries of the respective character pitches. By correcting the boundary of the pattern arrangement area of each first character and the last character to match the boundary of the character pitch, it is possible to ensure that the first character and the last character protrude from the frame border even when performing the framing function. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing device which can prevent the occurrence of characters and can print characters and the like with good appearance.

[0010]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a text input means for inputting text data consisting of characters, etc .; a text memory for storing text data input from the text input means; An image buffer that expands and stores the text data in the memory into dot pattern data in a predetermined pattern arrangement area based on each character pitch for each character, and prints the dot pattern data of the image buffer on a print target medium And a printing device having
First determining means for determining whether the left end of the pattern arrangement area in the first character of the line including the character or the like exceeds the left end of the character pitch in the left direction, and the left end of the pattern arrangement area by the first judgment means. Is determined to be beyond the left end of the character pitch, first correction means for matching the left end of the character pitch to the left end of the pattern arrangement area, and the Second determining means for determining whether or not the right end of the pattern arrangement area exceeds the right end of the character pitch, and judging that the right end of the pattern arrangement area exceeds the right end of the character pitch by the second determining means If so, a second correction means for making the right end of the character pitch coincide with the right end of the pattern arrangement area ;
Of the character pitch of the first character corrected by the first correction means
The left end and the end of line corrected by the second correction means
Frame around characters etc. based on the right end of character pitch
And a frame forming means for forming

[0011]

According to the present invention having the above structure, text data composed of characters and the like input through the text input means is stored in the text memory. When printing characters and the like, the text data in the text memory is developed into a dot pattern in a predetermined pattern arrangement area based on the character pitch for each character, and stored in the image buffer.

At this time, the first judging means judges whether or not the left end of the pattern arrangement area in the first character of the line including the character or the like exceeds the left end of the character pitch in the left direction. If it is determined that the left end of the area is beyond the left end of the character pitch in the left direction, the left end of the character pitch is set to the pattern via the first correction means.
Matched to the left end of the placement area . The second determining means determines whether or not the right end of the pattern arrangement area in the end-of-line character exceeds the right end of the character pitch in the right direction. As a result of the determination, the right end of the pattern arrangement area exceeds the right end of the character pitch. If it is determined that the character pitch is correct, the right end of the character pitch is matched with the right end of the pattern arrangement area via the second correction means. This reliably prevents the dot pattern data of the first character and the last character from going outside each character pitch, and therefore, even when the framing function is executed, each first character and the last character is framed. It will not run off the line.
Thereafter, the dot pattern data stored in the image buffer is printed on the printing medium by the printing means.

In the case of producing the character-attached tape 23 in the above configuration, the tape feed motor 45 (see FIG. 3) is driven in a predetermined rotation direction, and accordingly, the joining roller 18 and the ribbon take-up spool 15 are synchronized with each other in a predetermined direction. Driven in the rotational direction. When each heating element in the thermal head 19 is selectively energized, the laminate tape 11
On the back side, characters, numbers, etc. are printed in a mirror image relationship by a plurality of dot rows, and the back side of the laminate tape 11 (characters, etc. are printed) by cooperation of the joining roller 18 and the feed roller 21. The double-sided tape 16 is bonded to the tape to form a tape with text 23, and the tape with text 23 is fed in the direction of arrow T. Thus, the created tape with character 23 is sent out of the main body frame 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Incidentally, the thermal printing mechanism PM configured as described above is a known one, and its detailed configuration is described in, for example,
The detailed description thereof will be omitted here with reference to JP-A-06555.

Next, a control system of the tape printer 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a control block diagram of the tape printer 1, which is configured with the controller C as a core. The control device C includes a CPU 32, a CGROM 33, an R
OM34 and RAM35, which are connected to the bus 3
1 and to the input / output interface 30.

Here, the ROM 34 stores various programs, and includes a main processing program, a printing processing program, a line head / line ending correction processing program described later, and various other programs necessary for controlling the tape printing apparatus 1. Is stored. The CPU 32 performs various calculations based on various programs stored in the ROM 34.

The CGROM 33 has a keyboard 3
Dot pattern data corresponding to code data such as each character and numeral input from each key above is stored,
The dot pattern data is read from the CGROM 33 based on the code data of characters and the like stored in the text memory 37 and then transferred to the image buffer 39.

The RAM 35 is for temporarily storing various calculation results calculated by the CPU 32. The RAM 35 has a text memory 37, a text pointer 38, Various memories such as an image buffer 39 are provided.

Here, the text memory 37 stores code data corresponding to characters, numerals and the like input from the keyboard 3 as text (document data). The text pointer 38 is a pointer for sequentially instructing each code data stored in the text memory 37, and sequentially instructs each code data when reading each code data from the text memory 37, as described later. The image buffer 39 transfers and stores dot pattern data read from the CGROM 33 based on code data such as characters in the text memory 37. The thermal head 19 stores the dot pattern data stored in the image buffer 39. Dot printing is performed according to the data.

Returning to FIG. 3, the description of the control block diagram will be continued. The keyboard 3 is connected via the input / output interface 30, and the liquid crystal display 4 and the display controller 36 are connected via the input / output interface 36. When a character or the like is input via the character keys 6 of the keyboard 3 and is connected to the control device C, the text (document data) is sequentially stored in the text memory 37, and the dot pattern generation control program Keyboard 3 based on display control program
Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 4. The thermal head 19 is driven via a drive circuit 43 to print the dot pattern data stored in the image buffer 39. In synchronization with this, the tape feed motor 45 drives the tape-attached tape 23 via the drive circuit 44. Is performed.

Next, the operation of the tape printer 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the main processing performed in the tape printer 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the main processing program. First, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, initialization such as clearing of each memory in the RAM 35 is performed, and subsequently, the memory 35 is arranged on the keyboard 3 in S2. Key input from each key is read.

Then, in S3, it is determined whether or not there is a key input from any key on the keyboard 3, and if there is no key input from any key (S3: NO), the process returns to S2 and key input again. Is read, and there is a key input from any key (S3:
(YES), it is determined in S4 whether or not the key input is from the print key 7. If the input is the key input from the print key 7 (S4: YES), the process returns to S2 after performing a printing process described later in S5.

If it is determined in S4 that the input is not a key input from the print key 7 (S4: NO), it is determined in S6 whether the input is a key input from another function key arranged on the keyboard 3. Is done. If the input is a key input from another function key, for example, the framing key 8 or the execution key 9 (S6: YES), the process corresponding to the pressed function key is performed, and the process returns to S2. On the other hand, if the input is not a key input from another function key (S6: NO), it is determined that the input is a key input from the character input key 6, and a text input process is performed in S8. As a result, the code data corresponding to the character or the like input from the character input key 6 is stored in the text memory 37 to create a text. Thereafter, the process returns to S2. The above is the main processing performed in the tape printer 1.

Next, the printing process performed in S5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the print processing program. In S10, the text memory 3 pointed to by the text pointer 38 in S10.
The code data of the character in 7 is read, and the character pitch information, dot pattern arrangement area information, position information, etc., which are added to the code data and stored, are read. Thereafter, in S11, a line start / line end correction process is performed.

Here, the line head / line ending correction process performed in S11 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a line head / line ending correction processing program. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the relationship between the character pitch and the pattern arrangement area. FIG. 7B shows the relationship between the character pitch and the pattern arrangement area, and FIG. 7B shows the relation between the character pitch of the character “￥” and the pattern arrangement area in the same typeface.

Here, the text memory 37 stores the same text "jABC" as the text described in the conventional example.
It is assumed that “¥” (see FIG. 10) is created and stored. In FIG. 7A, the character pitch 50 of the character "j" (the first character of the text) (shown by the dotted line).
Is indicated by PSX, and the left end 51A of the pattern arrangement area 51 (enclosed by a solid line) is
The distance beyond the left end 50A of 0 in the left direction is indicated by L. The distance L is given a minus sign with the origin at the left end position of the character pitch 50.

Similarly, in FIG. 7B, the character "@"
The pitch width of the character pitch 52 (indicated by a dotted line) of (text end of line) is indicated by PSX, and the arrangement width of a pattern arrangement area 53 (indicated by a solid line) is W
Indicated by Also, the left end 5 of the pattern arrangement area 53
The distance between 3A and the left end 52A of the character pitch 52 is indicated by L. The distance L is given a plus sign with the origin at the left end position of the character pitch 52 in the same manner as described above. 52B is the right end of the character pitch 52, and 53B is the right end of the pattern arrangement area 53.

On the basis of the above-described premise, the head of the line according to FIG.
Describing the end-of-line correction process, first, in S20, it is determined whether or not the character indicated by the text pointer 38 is the beginning of a line. If it is the first letter of the line (S20: Y
ES), at S21, the left end 51 of the pattern arrangement area 51
It is determined whether or not the distance L (see FIG. 7A) that A crosses from the left end 50A of the character pitch 50 in the left direction is smaller than 0. When the distance L is larger than 0 (S21: N
In O), the process shifts to S24, while when the distance L is smaller than 0 (S21: YES), the left end 51A of the pattern arrangement area 51 of the first character "j" moves the left end 50A of the character pitch 50 leftward. When the frame line is formed at the left end position of the character pitch 50, a part of the initial character "j" protrudes from the left frame line, so that the pitch width PSX of the character pitch 50 is equal to the distance in S22. It is increased by the absolute value of L. As a result, the left end 50A of the character pitch 50 and the pattern arrangement area 51A coincide with each other, and as a result, the distance L becomes 0 (S2).
3) Thereafter, the flow shifts to S24.

For example, when the first character of the line is "j", the distance L is -L as shown in FIG.
Through S21 to S23, the pitch width PSX of the character pitch 50 is increased by the absolute value of the distance L, and the left end 50A of the pitch width PSX of the character pitch 50 matches the left end of the pattern arrangement area 51. Thereby, the character pitch 5
Even when a frame line is formed based on the left end 50A of 0, it is possible to reliably prevent a part of the character "j" from protruding from the left frame line.

At S20, the text pointer 3
8 is not the first character of the line (S2
(0: NO), it is determined in S24 whether the character is the end-of-line character. If it is not the end-of-line character (S24: NO), the process returns. In the above example, the text "j
The characters "A", "B", and "C" in "ABC #" are arranged in a dot pattern in the image buffer 39 according to the respective character pitches as described later.

When the character pointed to by the text pointer 38 is the end-of-line character (S24: YES)
Is the value obtained by adding the arrangement width W of the pattern arrangement area 53 to the distance L between the left end 52A of the character pitch 52 and the left end 53A of the pattern arrangement area 53 in S25.
Is larger than the pitch width PSX.

When the sum (L + W) of the distance L and the arrangement width W is smaller than the pitch width PSX (S25: NO), it is considered that the right end 52B of the character pitch 52 does not exceed the right end 53B of the pattern arrangement area 53. Therefore, the character is directly stored in the image buffer 39 according to the character pitch.
, Part of the end-of-line character does not protrude from the right frame line of the frame frame line, and the process is returned. On the other hand, when the added value (L + W) of the distance L and the arrangement width W is larger than the pitch width PSX (S25: YES),
After the pitch width PSX is matched with the added value (L + W), the post-processing is returned. For example, when the end-of-line character is “$”, the added value (L + W) of the distance L and the arrangement width W is as shown in FIG.
Since the pitch width PSX of the character pitch 52 is larger than the pitch width PSX as shown in FIG.
W). Thereby, even when the frame line is formed based on the right end 52B of the character pitch 52, it is possible to surely prevent a part of the character “￥” from protruding from the right frame line.

After the line head / line ending correction processing is completed as described above, the dot pattern data of each character is stored in the image buffer 39 according to the character pitch of each character from the CGROM 33 based on the text data (code data) of the text memory 37. (S12), and thereafter, the dot pattern data of the image buffer 39 is printed on the laminate tape 11 via the thermal head 19 of the thermal printing mechanism PM to produce the character-attached tape 23 (S13). . At this time, if the framing function is executed based on the pressing of the framing key 8,
The frame border is printed around the text. In this embodiment, since the line head / line end correction processing is performed as described above, the character “j” is placed at the line beginning position and the character “￥” is placed at the line end position. Even if it exists, as shown in FIG.
A part of the first character "j" and the last character "@" does not protrude from the right frame line 54A and the left frame line 54B of the frame frame line 54, and is printed. can do.

As described above in detail, in the tape printer 1 according to the present embodiment, when the character of the text in the text memory 37 indicated by the text pointer 38 is the first character, the character pitch 50 of the first character is used. Left end 5
By adding the absolute value of the distance L to the pitch width PSX of the character pitch 50 based on the fact that the distance L between 0A and the left end 51A of the pattern arrangement area 51 is smaller than 0 with the left end 50A as the origin. The beginning of the line is corrected so that the left end 50A of the line 50 coincides with the left end 51A of the pattern arrangement area 51. When the character indicated by the text pointer 38 is the end of the line, the left end 52A of the character pitch 52 and the pattern Left end 53A of placement area 53
The character pitch is adjusted by matching the pitch width PSX with the added value (L + W) based on the fact that the added value (L + W) obtained by adding the arrangement width W of the pattern arrangement area 53 to the distance L between them is larger than the pitch width PSX. Since the end-of-line correction for matching the right end 52B of the pattern 52 with the right end 53B of the pattern placement area 53 is performed, even when the framing function is executed to add the frame border 54 around the text, the beginning of the line or the line Part of the end-of-line character can be reliably prevented from protruding from the left frame line 54A and the right frame line 54B. As a result, it is possible to create the character-attached tape 23 in which characters and the like are arranged in the frame line 54 with good appearance.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the text is one line has been described as an example. However, even if the text is composed of a plurality of lines, the longest line is detected from the text, and the longest line is detected at the beginning / end of the line. It is clear that if the correction is performed, a character-applied tape can be created by printing characters in the frame line without partially protruding from the frame line.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention, each row acronym if the boundary of the pattern area of the bullet and line characters of the line containing the character or the like exceeds the boundaries of each character pitch, end of line character By correcting the boundary of the pitch to match the boundary of the pattern arrangement area , it is possible to reliably prevent the first character and the last character from protruding from the frame frame line even when executing the framing function. It is possible to provide a printing device capable of printing with good appearance.
