Abstract

PURPOSE:To print data for tow pages in a printing medium for one page and thereby to economize in the printing medium by providing a memory for storing the print data for two pages and a character width compression control element. CONSTITUTION:Print data sent to a received data analyzing element 1 are stored in an initial state in a print memory 4. When a new-page start code or print data exceeding the length of paper are detected in the received data analyzing element 1, a switch change-over request signal is sent to a printing control element 2. Thereby a memory change-over switch 3 is changed over and subsequent print data are stored in a print memory 5. When the new-page start code or the print data exceeding the length of paper are detected further by the received data analyzing element 1, the switch change-over request signal is sent to the printing control element 2, and thereby the print memory 4 is selected, while a printing start request signal is given to the print memories 4 and 5. Print data in the left half of each line are given to a character width compression control element 6 from the print memory 4, while print data in the right half of each line are given to said element from the print memory 5, and the print data of each line are compressed to 1/2 laterally and printed.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は印字装置に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a printing device.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、この種の印字装置は改ページコード又は予め設定

印字媒体を必要としていた。
Conventionally, this type of printing device receives a page break code or print data that exceeds a preset paper length,
The received data is automatically applied to the next page, and one page of print medium is required for one page of print data.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

上述した従来の印字装置は1ページ分の印字データに対

The above-mentioned conventional printing device uses one page of print media for one page of print data, so when printing, for example, a program list, there is a drawback that the amount of print media becomes large and wasteful.

本発明の目的は前記課題を解決した印字装置を提供する
ことにある。
An object of the present invention is to provide a printing device that solves the above problems.

〔課題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the printing purpose, the printing device according to the present invention includes a memory that stores two pages of print data, and a print character width of two pages of print data output from the memory that is reduced to one. The apparatus also includes a character weight reduction control section that outputs print data for pages.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

以下1本発明の一実施例を図により説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The print data for the left half of each line is given from the print memory 4, and the print data for the right half is given from the print memory 5 to the character reduction control section 6, and the print data for each line is reduced to 1/2 horizontally and printed. In other words, the first 1 out of 2 pages of data
The print data for one page is printed on the left half, and the print data for the remaining page is printed on the right half.

〔発明の効果〕〔Effect of the invention〕
