    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress popping out of a discharge ink outside a printing medium when printing is carried out without setting a margin to at least part of an edge part of the printing medium in an ink jet printer. SOLUTION: Data processing is carried out in the middle of image processing to image data of the edge part where no margin is set or of a predetermined region along the edge part, thereby lowering the density of the region to reduce an ink application quantity at the edge part. For example, data processing of multiplying by a predetermined coefficient smaller than one is carried out to the image data of the region.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve the processing speed by providing a means which transfers a font from a CG(character generator) to a VRAM(memory for display) by a circuit. CONSTITUTION: This display controller is equipped with the character generator(CG) 1C which is stored with the font, the display memory (VRAM) 1D where one dot of display is made to correspond to one dot of the memory, and a control circuit 1E for transferring the data in the VRAM 1D to a display device 1F. An address generating circuit(MCC) 1B outputs select signals for 1C-1E on the basis of an address 1G from a CPU 1A to generate addresses of the CG 1C and VRAM 1D. Then transfer processing for display information is performed on the basis of the start address of a font memory and the transfer destination address of the VRAM 1D. Consequently, data transfer from the CG 1C to the VRAM 1D is performed in a time of single access to eliminate the need for two-time access wherein the CPU 1A reads data out of the CG 1C and writes them in the VRAM 1D by a program.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To execute the initialization of the semiconductor memory integrated with plural storage cells without increasing the number of gates. CONSTITUTION:A data signal WD and the output signal of an OR gate G1 to be initialized are respectively given to the input terminals D and G of plural latches LT and when the output signal of the OR gate G1 is fallen, the signal level of the data signal WD at this time is latched. When a resetting signal RST is changed from '1' to '0' and a reset is released, the output signal of the OR gate G1 is fallen. That is, data given during a resetting is latched as soon as the reset is released and initialized. This storage control for each latch LT is carried out based on the output signal of the OR gate G1.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a natural print by approximately making the density of repeated dots the same as that of other dots when data repeated by repeated dots are printed in a head for a printer. CONSTITUTION:The same voltage is applied to a VM and a VS at the time of normal printing, a time when printing is not conducted by repeating. Consequently, any dot can be printed in uniform density. When printing is performed by repeating, printing dots corresponding to each of repeated dots 1A, 1B, 1D, 1F are thinned by making voltage applied to the VS smaller than that applied to the VM. When printing data are repeated, printing data having accurate density are acquired.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily view a cursor by providing a cursor, which indicates input positions of data, with plural display shapes and changing the display shapes of the cursor according to the movement state of the cursor. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 1A controls a main system and is provided with a storage device 1B having a program storage area, a work area required for the control, a storage area for a 1st font #1 indicating the normal position of a mouse and a 2nd font #2 displayed at the start of movement, a buffer BUF where display data at the last position of the cursor are saved, a register MSF stored with the stopping time of the mouse, and a register MMC stored with the time of a mouse display using the 2nd font. Further, a display device 1C, the mouse 1D, and a timer 1E are provided and the movement quantity of the mouse is inputted from the mouse 1D. At the stop, movement start, etc., of the cursor, the display shapes of the cursor are changed according to the states.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To previously inform an operator of a residual amount of a recording agent or that the refill of a recording agent is required by providing a means for finding an amount of a recording agent to be consumed in accordance with information to be recorded by a recording means and an informing means for alerting the operator of the residual amount of the recording agent based on said amount. CONSTITUTION:A pointer on a sentence file is positioned on the top of the sentence file. A sum on a work area 123 as a total ribbon consumption amount is reset to '0'. An nc for calculating the number of characters for one line is reset to '0'. Whether a character pointed by the pointer is a CR code is judged. If a CR code is detected, a consumption amount of an ink ribbon for one line is calculated and added to a ribbon consumption amount so far. After that, the pointer advances +1 to point a next character. Whether the character updated by the pointer is an EOF code is judged. If it is not an EOF code, a ribbon consumption amount for a next line is calculated. If it is an EOF code, the end of a sentence file is indicated, and a ribbon consumption amount for a sentence to be printed is calculated. The result is displayed.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To read/write a desired data at high speed by controlling the active/ inactive state of a ready signal corresponding to the state of attaching/detaching a storing medium to be inserted freely attachably and detachably. CONSTITUTION:In the storage device to access the storing medium based on access permission information while having a driving means for the attachable/ detachable storing medium and a permitting means to output the access permission information to the storing medium, a detecting means 1c monitors the operation of attaching/detaching the storing medium and a drive control part 1a holds an access permitted state while loading the storing medium even when the operation of a driving means 1b is stopped. Thus, the access of confirming the storing medium to be executed when the driving means 1b is driven again can be avoided, and the desired data can be read/written at high speed.
