い。(bl) Prior Art and Problems Conventionally, to check the print density, a mark was placed outside the printing area, and the density of this mark was judged to replace the ink ribbon or replenish the toner.However, In an information processing system that includes multiple printers, once the recording paper output from each printer is separated from the printer, it is difficult to know later which printer the recording paper was output from. That is not easy.
また印字の欠けや脱字等の異常についても、同様に切り

を提供することによって達成される。+d) Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, in an information processing system having a plurality of printers, when the selected printer prints, the identification symbol of the printer is printed outside the printing area of the recording paper. This is achieved by providing a printing method characterized by the following.
ｔｅｌ 発明の実施例 本発明の実施例を図面により詳述する。tel Embodiments of the invention Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, when the identification symbol of the printer is set to 1 in the identification symbol setting section 6, for example,
It is stored in the memory 5, and 1 is displayed in the identification symbol display section 3.
is displayed. The control section 7 retrieves the character pattern corresponding to the print information sent from the computer 1 from the character generation section 8 and sends it to the printing section 9, and also retrieves the Oribetsu Joki from the memory 5 and outputs it to the character generation section 8. It is converted into a character pattern and sent to the printing section 9.
制御部７はさらに前記識別記号を印字領域外に印字する
よう印字タイミングを制御する。The control unit 7 further controls the printing timing so that the identification symbol is printed outside the printing area.

別マーク１１を用いることにより、従来の濃度チェック
用のマークを兼ねることにもなる。In the example of FIG. 3, identification symbol 1 corresponds to printer 2-1.
1 is given the number 1, but the identification symbol 11 is not limited to numbers, but may be a mark as shown in FIG. 4, and the number may be represented by changing the number of lines or dots. By using such an identification mark 11, it also serves as a mark for conventional density checking.
なお、識別記号１１を付与する場所は記録紙４の印字領
域１０以外であればどこでもよい。Note that the identification symbol 11 may be provided anywhere other than the printing area 10 of the recording paper 4.
また、識別記号１１はページ毎に付与してもよいし、ジ

設けたが、一般にプリンタには機番が設定されているの
で、この機番を識別記号として用い、計算機側から識別
情報を印字情報と同様に送出してもよい。Furthermore, in this embodiment, the printer 2 is provided with an identification code assigning means, but since a machine number is generally set in a printer, this machine number is used as an identification code, and the identification information is sent from the computer side in the same way as printed information. It may be sent to
