    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent a wasteful power consumption by a method wherein a means for controlling the power supply timing to respective driving systems related to a series of printing processes on the basis of the distribution of dots of detected image and the like are provided. CONSTITUTION:When one paginal printing data are stored, an inputting and expansion control section 103 reads printing data in regular order out of a page memory 102 and, at the same time, analyzes them so as to form bit map data with reference to a font ROM 104 and the like. The formed bit mat data are expanded and stored. The power source control section of a printing I/F section is a section for ON-OFF controlling the power source of the printing I/F section, which is indicated by surrounding with dotted line, and is normally turned OFF for economizing in electric power when no printing is performed. Accordingly, even under the stand-by condition of printing data sending from an external device, the power source of the printing I/F section is turned OFF. When ready signal 122 is OFF, the power source of the printing I/F section is kept to be OFF. When the signal 122 is ON, the inputting and expansion control section 103 turns signal 123 ON.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To generate picture information which can output a character picture in the picture information by high definition and is of small data quantity. CONSTITUTION:This printing device is characterized by being constituted as follows. When a character reading and recognizing part 106 recognizes a character/pattern by analyzing the picture information outputted from a reading means through a scanner interface part 109 or the picture information received through a FAX communication interface part 110, and generates a prescribed cord or command corresponding to the recognized character/pattern, a main control part 104 controls the output of the picture information including the generated prescribed cord or command to a recording means through a communicating means or a printing part interface part 108.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To output data for each data source by storing data sent from the plural data sources so as to identify them, and outputting those data in the order of reception. CONSTITUTION:The data inputted from data sources 10-13 are stored in a storage means 141 so as to be identified for each data source by an identifying means 140. When the prescribed amount of data are stored for each data source, the stored data are outputted to an output device 15. Thus, the data can be outputted for each data source.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To confirm the generation of error or the condition of the printer on the side of an external equipment by receiving printing data from the external equipment in the form of codes, expanding these data into printing image data and transmitting this image to the external equipment. CONSTITUTION:Document data inputted from a host computer are stored in a page memory 13 for the unit of a page, and image data expanded into a bit map by a main control part 17 are stored in a bit map memory 14. In this case, when a request command for returning the expanded data is added to the inputted document data, the main control part 17 returns the dot data stored in the memory 14 to the host computer without sending any recording start signal. The host computer converts the resolution of the dot image and displays the returned printing image. When a printing starting command is inputted after confirming there is no problem in this display content, the main control part 17 outputs a printing starting instruction to a recording part interface 15.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To vary the time from the input of a data strobe signal from external equipment to the return of an answer signal to the external equipment by providing a means which sets the time up to the resetting of a busy signal from the data strobe signal and the time prescribing the pulse width of a data acknowledgment signal to the data strobe signal. CONSTITUTION:A main control part 13 increases or decreases two register values by one to adjust the time interval from the data strobe signal 131 to the fall of the busy signal 133 and the pulse width of the data acknowledgment signal 134, and the registers may be updated in units other than one in this case. An input interface part 11 receives data from a host and returns the busy signal 133 and acknowledgment signal 134. Thus, an answer to the external equipment can be made in the time up to the resetting of the busy signal 133 or with the pulse width of the data acknowledgement signal 134 according to the set values.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To send a document easily by providing a facsimile transmission reception section in the inside and selecting print or facsimile transmission depending on a command from a host computer or a command by key operation. CONSTITUTION:A printer receiving character data including a character code and a control code sent from a host computer, converting the data into dot data and printing the data is provided with a facsimile transmission reception section 112. Then whether printing or facsimile transmission is selected based on a command from the host computer or a command by key operation of the operator. In the case of printing the character data onto the printer from the host computer, a main control section 104 converts the character code in the sentence data loaded to a page memory 102 into dot data and they are loaded to a scan buffer 105. Then one of memories 106, 107 of the scan buffer 105 sends the dot data to a parallel serial converter 108 and the data are printed by the print section.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve image quality in enlarged printing by setting variably the number of image data to be used uniformly corresponding to print multiplying factor added to an input image data and extracting the image data of mean object from among the input image data at the number unit which is set variably. CONSTITUTION:When a document data 151 is inputted to an input controller 101, a multivalued data indicating an image data is sent to a multivalued data converter 103. In the multivalued data converter 103, a conversion of the multivalued data is performed for conforming to a resolution of a printer based on a resolution of the multivalued data to be sent, enlargement and contraction multiplying factor designation information, and printing density information of a printing section in an image formation section 109. Also, a main controller 106 calculates a conversion constant of the multivalued data converter 103 by a predetermined conversion expression or conversion table based on the print multiplying factor information of the multivalued data at every receipt of the document data 151. As a result, image quality in enlarged printing will be improved without enlarging processing by using a contracted data after an image data is contracted as in a conventional enlarging printing.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To perform high resolution printing by forming a pixel image data according to the capacity of a storage area by a method wherein the storage capacity storing the pixel image data is calculated, resolution is specified according thereto, and an image data is formed following this resolution to perform printing. CONSTITUTION:If total capacity of a RAM is fixed, it is made a fixed value and when variable, total capacity is obtained. Then, capacity capable of being used as an image memory 6 is calculated. Thereafter, resolution of an output image is made 400 pixel per 1 inch or 800 pixel per 1 inch according to whether the capacity of the image memory 6 is, for instance, 7.4MB max. or min. from required memory capacity. Then, the pixel image to the image data inputted from an input part 3 is formed following the determined resolution and plotting is performed in the image memory 6. A selective control signal 205 selecting an output 203 of a smoothing circuit 202 for 400 pixel resolution and an input pixel image 201 for 800 pixel resolution is outputted, and a pixel image data 206 is outputted to a printing mechanism part 8 to be printed.
