Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a memo printing device in which the digit position of memo information to be printed can be easily confirmed 12 and digit alignment can be performed by displaying 14 on the display I4 before printing. be.

Conventionally, in a memo printing device having a multi-digit display, when the number of displayed digits increases, it becomes difficult to grasp the number of digits of displayed information and the remaining number of digits that can be displayed. cause inconvenience. If the memo information to be printed is printed in multiple lines, it is easy to align the digits of the memo information to be printed.

For example, in a multi-digit display, the memo information to be printed, such as the product name, C1 value, numeral position, amount, etc., is placed in line 77T with digit alignment λ (displaying 7 is '8', etc.). That's not the point.

The present invention was made in view of the five deficiencies of the conventional 171i above, and in particular, digit position display information (hereinafter referred to as digit mark) indicating the digit position of multi-digit memo information to be printed. Hereinafter, Example VcJl(
Next, the present invention will be explained in detail.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a memo printing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, ] is the central processor (CPU), 2 is the readout unit 1. Exclusive memo! J (ROM), 3 is read/hidden memo IJ (RAM), 4 is print control unit (PCU)

III will be described later.

By the number or character data transferred from the PCU 4 CPUI, the numbers written in advance in the PCU control the printing device 5 to generate the specific pattern 'fr of character example 4 1~, Force all printing to be executed.

The keyboard is equipped with 6 numeric keys from O to 9, 1 alphanumeric key from A to Z, 1 special symbol key, 1 various function keys used for calculations, and special keys to perform special operations as described below. It has a matrix configuration of a strobe signal output from the CPU and a common signal input to the CPU. That's right, all you have to do is temporarily store the numbers or symbols input using the -T key in I<AM3, and then print them all at once using the print key (ffi) on the keyboard. There is also a mode selection switch (Iiii+SELECT) for switching between the TYPE mode, in which calculation processing is not possible, and the COMP mode, in which calculation processing is executed.

On the key on the keyboard, use the Q-tar key.
The middle and width are the scroll keys, [1 key is the shift 1-mode key, and the [Song, L] key is pressed in shift 1-mode to display the digital, tomomarker, front, down 7, and when pressed in shift mode. Then, it becomes the key representing the single Aruanopet letter P.

The stiff keys will be discussed further below.

The display buffer 7 receives the number 1 data transferred from the CPUI and the character data transferred from the display body 8. Convert to displayed information 1. By outputting, various numbers and characters are displayed on the display body 8.

21st N1 to 1-. iii! A part of RAM 3 is shown. In the figure, I8fA, DPA, and DCC counters are shown, and IJP, nw, and F are shown by Franfke. Indeno 1-Memory IM indicates an area where data inputted manually in the TYPE mode is sequentially temporarily stored.

1- Counters and flags each have the following meanings.
゜T M A: Cursor in the memory I M: ":,!r, 9. This is a counter that stores the 4Vt position, and the data entered by the key is written as a data code at the 4th position of the counter. It's very harmful as a result.

r) PA: A counter that stores the display start device in the input memory IM, and displays data in the input memory IM after the position specified by the counter.

DCC: A counter that stores the number of display digits, and is used to determine whether display information exceeds one line.

UP: Set when there is more display information than the currently executed display, otherwise it is cleared.

DW: Set when there is display information after the display currently being executed; otherwise reset.

F: The stored information of α white) i [in the information part currently being displayed will be cleared by the return code, otherwise the pass J) will be displayed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart 1 for explaining the operation of this embodiment.
It is.

Step n1: In the initial setting before execution of the operation, the above-mentioned counter and r): Flag glue setting is executed.

(111 works when inputting memo information) Suji, numbers, and < are symbol keys or return keys (E
When E) is operated, the return code or return code (RE) corresponding to the operated key is specified by the inner world of the counters I to IA in the impulse memory IM. When the writing weight is increased to the position "1", the next manual power is 6ifiλ and the TMA is "1": / l゛7

If not, display digit counter r') CC'? rlJ count is amplified and its contents are displayed (*Judge whether it is greater than or equal to the number of represented digits (n35-' n36→n
, v). If it's a sake cup, it's impossible to handle the manual content at such a small scale by going through the folding display routine (n's).

When the operation key is the return key, the contents of the cursor position memory counter IMA are transmitted to the display start position memory counter nPA.
) After the contents of PA have not been updated (the current cursor position is set as the new display start position), the display digit counter DCC is reset and the flag tJP is set. Proceed (n, 5 → n3
8→n: 19->n 10-syn18).

Well, when it is detected that the content of the display digit number counter DCC is greater than the number of display digits of the display object, the result of calculating [11 by M] from the content of the cursor position memory counter IMA is stored as the display start position. Transferred to counter DPA 1, after updating the inner world of counter nPA (the current device where the character code etc. was written and overlaid just before is set to the new display start position and 17), the display digit 11 to number counter DCC

When flag UP is set (i.e., in 1), 1--to memory I (inside).

When display information exists before the display currently in line 17), the display routine shown in Figure 4 (1
), a 1-direction arrow symbol [↑1 is displayed at the right end of the display 8.

Taking as an example 3 + 2j in the memo information human power, the contents of the imbutsu 1-memory IM and the display in the table/I7 body 8 at each time 15j are shown in Figure 5 ( 1) and (2), (3) and T4LII; and (5) and (6)
