Description

인쇄장치Printing equipment

본 발명은 인쇄장치에 관한 것으로, 특히 별도의 기록매체에 기록된 정보를 판독하여 인쇄할 수 있는 인쇄장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a printing apparatus, and more particularly to a printing apparatus capable of reading and printing information recorded on a separate recording medium.

전자출판이 보편화가 됨에 따라 이를 인쇄하는 방법으로 종전까지는 유선 혹은 무선으로 프린터(printer)에 연결하고 있는데 그 연결방법은 도1에 나타낸 바와 같이 개인용 컴퓨터(10)와 프린터(12)가 온라인으로 연결되는 것이다. 이와같은 이유로 프린터의 수요가 거의 개인용 컴퓨터당 1개 정도로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 온라인 연결은 개인용 컴퓨터가 휴대용으로 발전함에 따라 점차 힘들어지고 있다. 또한, 휴대용 컴퓨터는 인쇄를 위해서 반드시 프린터와 유선 혹은 무선으로 연결되어야 한다. 그러나, 휴대용 컴퓨터에서 인쇄를 하기 위해서는 인쇄장치를 구동하는 적절한 구성장치가 필요하게 된다. 예를 들면, 마이크로 소프트 WINDOWS에서는 프린터 드라이버라는 소프트웨어가 필요하다.As the electronic publishing is becoming more common, a method of printing the same has been connected to a printer by wire or wireless until the past. The connection method of the personal computer 10 and the printer 12 are connected online as shown in FIG. Will be. For this reason, the demand for printers is almost one per personal computer. These online connections are becoming increasingly difficult as personal computers become portable. In addition, portable computers must be wired or wirelessly connected to the printer for printing. However, in order to print from a portable computer, an appropriate configuration device for driving a printing device is required. For example, Microsoft WINDOWS requires software called a printer driver.

그러나, 모든 인쇄 장치마다 독특한 인쇄장치가 필요하게 되어 휴대용 컴퓨터가 구동 가능한 인쇄장치가 아니고서는 인쇄가 불가능하게 된다는 문제점이 있었다. 또한, 컴퓨터로 부터 인쇄된 것을 많은 매수로 만들 경우에는 별도의 복사기를 이용하고 있으며 이는 이중의 작업으로 시간 손실을 야기하게 된다.However, there is a problem that printing is not possible without a printing device capable of driving a portable computer because a unique printing device is required for every printing device. In addition, if you make a large number of copies from a computer, a separate copier is used, which causes time loss due to the duplication of work.

그리고, 종래의 통신기기를 이용한 문서 전달도 온라인으로 이루어지고 있어, 휴대용 통신기기로 문서를 전달할 경우에는 휴대용 인쇄장치가 필요하게 되어 경량화, 소형화가 힘든 인쇄장치를 휴대해야 하는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, the document transmission using a conventional communication device is also made online, and when a document is transferred to a portable communication device, a portable printing device is required, and there is a problem in that it is necessary to carry a printing device that is light in weight and difficult to miniaturize.

본 발명의 목적은 별도의 기록 매체에 저장된 데이타를 판독하여 인쇄할 수 있는 인쇄장치를 제공하는데 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a printing apparatus capable of reading and printing data stored in a separate recording medium.

이와같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 인쇄장치는 별도의 기록 매체에 저장된 데이타를 판독할 수 있는 데이타 판독수단, 상기 데이타 판독수단에 저장된 데이타를 디스플레이할 수 있는 디스플레이수단, 상기 판독수단 및 디스플레이 수단을 제어하고 원하는 데이타를 인쇄하기 위한 인쇄 명령을 하는 제어수단, 및 상기 명령 수행수단의 명령에 응답하여 상기 원하는 데이타를 인쇄하기 위한 프린터를 구비한 것을 특징으로 한다.The printing apparatus of the present invention for achieving the above object includes data reading means capable of reading data stored in a separate recording medium, display means capable of displaying data stored in the data reading means, the reading means and the display means. And control means for controlling the printout and printing command for printing the desired data, and a printer for printing the desired data in response to the command of the command performing means.

도1은 종래의 컴퓨터와 온라인으로 연결된 인쇄장치의 블럭도이다.1 is a block diagram of a printing apparatus connected online with a conventional computer.

도2는 본 발명의 인쇄장치의 블럭도이다.2 is a block diagram of a printing apparatus of the present invention.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참고로 하여 본 발명의 인쇄장치를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, a printing apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도1은 본 발명의 인쇄장치의 블럭도로서, 인쇄장치(100)는 디스플레이부(20), 드라이버(30), 제어부(40), 및 프린터(50)로 구성되어 있다.1 is a block diagram of a printing apparatus of the present invention, wherein the printing apparatus 100 is composed of a display unit 20, a driver 30, a control unit 40, and a printer 50. As shown in FIG.

본 발명의 인쇄장치는 다른 기기의 도움을 받지 않고 독자적으로 프린터 명령을 수행하기 위하여 기록 매체에 기록된 데이타를 인쇄하고자 할 때 기록 매체의 데이타를 판독할 수 있는 드라이버(30)에 기록 매체를 입력한다. 제어부(40)는 인쇄 명령을 수행하기 위하여 드라이버(30)에 의해서 판독된 데이타를 디스플레이부(20)에 디스플레이한다. 그리고, 사용자는 제어부(40)를 조절하여 원하는 데이타의 인쇄 명령을 한다. 프린터(50)는 제어부(40)의 인쇄 명령에 응답하여 데이타를 인쇄한다.The printing apparatus of the present invention inputs the recording medium into the driver 30 which can read the data of the recording medium when it wants to print the data recorded on the recording medium in order to independently execute the printer command without the help of another device. do. The control unit 40 displays the data read by the driver 30 on the display unit 20 to perform a print command. Then, the user adjusts the control unit 40 to issue a print command of the desired data. The printer 50 prints data in response to a print command of the controller 40.

다시 말하면, 본 발명의 인쇄장치는 컴퓨터와 인쇄장치사이의 온라인 대신에 인쇄해야할 데이타를 별도의 기록 매체에 저장을 하여 두었다가 기록매체로 부터 데이타를 전달받을 수 있는 특별한 접속장치를 가진 인쇄장치를 통해 인쇄한다.In other words, the printing apparatus of the present invention stores a data to be printed on a separate recording medium instead of online between the computer and the printing apparatus, and uses a printing apparatus having a special connection device capable of receiving data from the recording medium. Print

예를 들면, 휴대용 컴퓨터로 부터 인쇄를 원할 경우에 인쇄할 정보를 휴대용 컴퓨터에 장치되어 있는 기록매체에 저장해 두었다가 인쇄가 필요할 경우 기록매체에 저장된 인쇄할 원하는 부분의 데이타를 읽어내어 인쇄를 하게 된다. 이를 위해서는 인쇄장치에 별도의 기록매체로 부터 정보를 읽어낼 수 있는 장치가 필요하게 되는데, 컴퓨터에서 가장 흔히 사용되는 기록매체인 디스켓(diskette)을 예로서 설명하면 인쇄장치에 디스켓 드라이버가 있어야 하고 디스켓으로 부터 기록된 데이타를 읽어낼 수 있는 적절한 하드웨어와 소프트웨어가 필요하게 된다.For example, when printing from a portable computer is desired, information to be printed is stored in a recording medium installed in the portable computer, and when printing is required, data of the desired portion to be printed stored in the recording medium is read out and printed. To do this, the printing apparatus needs a device that can read information from a separate recording medium. A diskette, which is a recording medium most commonly used in a computer, is described as an example. You will need the appropriate hardware and software to read the recorded data.

다른 실시예로서, 휴대용 통신기기를 통해 문서를 전달할 경우에 휴대용 통신기기에 문서를 인쇄할 정보를 기록할 수 있는 매체를 내장시켜 기록을 해 두었다가 인쇄가 가능한 장소에 가서 휴대용 통신기기에 있는 기록매체를 본 발명의 인쇄장치에 부착하여 인쇄한다.In another embodiment, when a document is transmitted through a portable communication device, a recording medium in which the information for printing the document is stored in the portable communication device is stored in a recording medium in the portable communication device. Is attached to the printing apparatus of the present invention and printed.

또 다른 실시예로서, 일반전화기에 팩시밀리를 수신하는 장치와 기록 매체를 추가시켜 데이타를 기록 매체에 저장하고 기록 매체에 저장된 데이타를 본 발명의 인쇄장치에 부착하여 인쇄한다.As another embodiment, an apparatus for receiving a fax and a recording medium are added to a general telephone to store data on the recording medium, and the data stored on the recording medium is attached to the printing apparatus of the present invention for printing.

도1에 나타낸 블럭도에서는 인쇄장치에 디스플레이부(20), 드라이버(30), 및 제어부(40)를 구비한 것을 나타내었지만 이들 장치들을 구비한 장치를 기존의 프린터에 부착하여 본 발명의 인쇄장치와 같은 기능을 가지도록 구성할 수도 있다.Although the block diagram shown in FIG. 1 shows that the printing apparatus includes a display unit 20, a driver 30, and a control unit 40, the printing apparatus of the present invention is attached to a conventional printer by attaching a device having these apparatuses to an existing printer. It can also be configured to have the same function.

따라서, 본 발명의 인쇄장치는 별도의 부가적인 기기와의 연결없이 기록매체에 기록된 원하는 데이타를 인쇄할 수 있다.Therefore, the printing apparatus of the present invention can print desired data recorded on the recording medium without connecting to an additional additional device.
