Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute a reoutput from a page corresponding to jammed paper by providing an address managing part of a receiving buffer. CONSTITUTION:When it is detected by a sensor 12 that discharge paper is ended, it is reported to an address managing part 4, the address is changed to an address of the head data of the next page, and data in a buffer 5 is rejected. In case when paper is jammed, after having waited until it is informed that the jammed paper is eliminated, a command is issued to a receiving buffer so that the reprocessing is executed from an address indicated with a page pointer which is managed at present.

[Prior Art] As described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,069, conventional printers usually do
In order to resume output from the page for which output has not been completed, the system had a configuration in which a plurality of page memories were provided after the receiver (a) buffer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve] However,
In the above conventional example, if we consider the case where a complex image is formed in the page memory based on vector data, the amount of image information of the page error becomes large compared to the reception buffer.
The drawback is that it takes up too much storage space.

[Objective] In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide an address management section of a reception buffer that receives vector data, and to perform a process based on the vector data from the page that caused the paper jam, with only one page number. To provide a vector pattern printout that can be easily re-outputted.

Figure 1 is a block diagram that best represents the features of the present invention.
1 is a host computer or a graphic display, 2 is a vector pattern printer control unit to which the present invention is applied, and 3 is an output unit of the printer. l
The vector data inputted from the receiver enters the receiving buffer 5. The address management section 4 manages the start address of the data in the reception buffer and A corresponding to the next page to be ejected, and discards the data in the corresponding buffer when the ejection is completed. The received data is expanded into the page memory 7 as image information by the image generator 6. 4 and 7 are controlled by a microprocessor 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes an electrophotographic device that forms an image on paper using toner from image information in a page memory. A conveyance roller 10 also serves as a fixing device, which fixes the toner adhering to the paper sent out from 9 and sends it out to a tray 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes a sensor for detecting the presence of paper, etc. By installing a plurality of sensors on the paper conveyance path, it is possible to detect paper jams and the end of paper ejection. 13 is a switch that notifies that the jammed paper has been removed. 9°10.12.13 are controlled by the microprocessor 14.

When the completion of paper ejection is detected by 12, 14
.. The information is reported to the address management unit 4 via 8. Then, 4 determines the start address (referred to as a page pointer) of the data in the buffer corresponding to the next page to be ejected.
Change the address to the first data of the next page S1, discard the data in the buffer corresponding to the page that has been ejected S2゜If paper is jammed, switch 13
S3 waits until it is notified that the jammed paper has been removed, and then instructs the reception buffer to reprocess from the address indicated by the currently managed page pointer.
Incidentally, the output section 3 of the printer may be capable of, for example, double-sided printing or bag-stitch printing, and it goes without saying that the page pointer at 83 in FIG. 2 can be appropriately corrected depending on the occurrence of a jam.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, this is a device that temporarily stores vector data in a reception buffer, develops an image in a page memory based on the vector data, and outputs the image. By having a vector pattern, it is possible to easily re-output from the page corresponding to the stubbed paper based on information from address management without having to have multiple page memories, which saves storage space. It is now possible to provide printers.
