A storage device having the above storage medium may be provided on the other connected device side, and the program and data stored in the storage medium 16 may be used via a communication line.

Next, the operation of the word processor 1 will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process for automatically creating a correction seal performed by the word processor 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the automatic correction sticker creation process shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 2 first causes the scanner unit 61 of the printing device 6 to read a document, a business card, or the like for which a correction sticker is to be created, and outputs the read image to the R.
The data is stored in the read screen data memory 4a of the AM 4 and displayed on the display screen of the display device 5 (step S101).

Here, when a correction target range in which a correction seal is to be created is specified by an instruction input from the input device 3 on the read image displayed on the display device 5 (step S102), the CPU 2 executes The number of designated correction target ranges, that is, the number of correction stickers is counted. For example, if a correction target range is specified for the first time, the number of correction seals is set to “1”, and thereafter, the number of correction seals is incremented (+1) each time a new correction target range is specified. . Then, information indicating the characters displayed in the designated correction target range, ie, the font, character size, digit pitch, and print color of the characters read by the scanner unit 61 is temporarily stored in the character string format storage memory 4e. It is stored (step S104).

Here, the CPU 2 requests input of an instruction as to whether or not all the correction target ranges for which correction stickers are to be created have been designated (step S105), and the designation of all the correction target ranges has not been completed. If there is an instruction input to that effect, the process returns to step S102, and if there is an instruction input indicating that the process has ended, the process proceeds to step S106.

In step S106, it is determined whether or not the number of the designated correction target range is not "0 (zero)".
If it is "0", the processing is terminated as it is, and "0"
If not, the process proceeds to step S107. Step S1
At 07, the CPU 2 executes a print result automatic numbering process. The print result automatic numbering process is a process of attaching a seal number to each correction sticker when creating a plurality of correction stickers.

First, in step S108, when a seal number corresponding to each correction target range is input by an instruction input from the input device 3, the CPU 2 associates the input seal number with each correction target range and outputs a character. It is stored in the column format storage memory 4e. Also, various information indicating the font and character size temporarily stored in the character string format storage memory 4e is stored again in association with the seal number (step S109). The seal number stored here is displayed on the display screen as a seal number of a correction sticker to be attached to each correction target range, in association with each correction sticker.

Subsequently, when a correction character to be printed on each correction sticker is input from the input device 3, the CPU
Reference numeral 2 denotes a correction character data memory 4f which stores input correction characters.
(Step S110), and it is determined whether or not all corrected characters have been input (step S111). If the input of all the corrected characters has not been completed yet, the process returns to step S110. If the input of all the corrected characters has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S112.

In step S112, it is determined whether or not the input of the seal number and the input of the correction character have been performed for all the correction target ranges. (Step S113), and the flow returns to step S108. If the input has been completed for all the correction target ranges (Step S112; Yes), the CPU 2 executes a character string automatic modification process (Step S114).

The character string automatic modification process executed in step S114 means that the correction characters to be printed on the correction sticker are adjusted to the font and character size which are printed in advance in the correction target range for which the correction sticker is to be created. This is a process to minimize the discomfort after pasting the correction sticker by making similar settings.Specifically, the font type, character size, digit pitch, print color, etc. of the corrected character are set in the character string format. Storage memory 4
e, the corrected character data memory 4f according to the contents stored in
Is a process to be set.

Subsequently, the CPU 2 executes a seal print result automatic layout process (see FIG. 8) to be described later, and automatically determines the layout of each correction sticker when a plurality of correction stickers are printed on the sticker mount. (Step S11
5). Then, the CPU causes the display device 5 to display an image screen when the correction sticker is printed in the layout determined in step S115 (step S11).
6) The process proceeds to step S117 to compare and determine the number of corrected characters and the number of characters in the correction target range.

If the number of characters to be corrected is different from the number of characters in the range to be corrected (step S117; Ye)
s), a character string format information correction process (see FIG. 11) is executed in step S118, and the flow shifts to step S119.
If the number of characters to be corrected is equal to the number of characters in the range to be corrected (step S117; No), the process directly proceeds to step S119.

In step S119, the CPU 2 requests an input as to whether or not to execute the printing. If the printing is not to be performed, the processing is terminated as it is. If the printing is to be performed, the automatic seal cutting processing is performed in step S120. (FIG. 12
Reference)) to end the processing.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing in more detail the automatic label print result layout processing shown in step S115 of FIG. First, when acquiring the number of correction stickers stored in the character string format storage memory 4e in step S104 of FIG. 7 (step S131), the CPU 2 determines the number of correction stickers based on the acquired number of correction stickers. All the arrangement patterns are calculated and stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c (step S132). For example, if the number of correction stickers is four, as shown in FIG.
The seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c stores various arrangement patterns, such as “arrangement patterns 1, 2, 3, 4” and “arrangement patterns 1, 2, 4, 3”, in which four correction seals are arranged. Is done.

Here, the CPU 2 executes a temporary arrangement for each arrangement pattern stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c. The provisional arrangement is processing for calculating the amount of a blank area generated when the correction seal is arranged according to each arrangement pattern. First, the CPU 2 acquires a predetermined arrangement pattern from the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c (Step S134). Then, based on the acquired arrangement pattern, referring to the range information of each correction sticker stored in the character string format storage memory 4e, a process of arranging while considering the line and column margins described later (see FIG. 9) is executed. (Step S135).

Subsequently, the CPU 2 executes a margin area calculation process (see FIG. 10) in step S136, and stores the calculated lower margin area and horizontal margin area in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c (step S137). Then, the next arrangement pattern is set, and step S133 is performed.
Then, it is determined whether or not the provisional arrangement processing of all arrangement patterns has been completed.

Then, the processing of steps S134 to S138 is repeated until the provisional arrangement processing of all arrangement patterns is completed.
Move to 139.

In step S139, step S136
Of the lower margin area or the horizontal margin area, which is calculated in the margin area calculation processing and stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c, is input. That is, it is designated whether the lower margin area is minimized to minimize the margin below the seal mount, or the horizontal margin area is minimized to minimize the margin area generated on the right side of the correction seal. .

Then, in step S140, among the arrangement patterns stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c, the arrangement pattern having the smallest blank area designated in step S139 is determined. In step S141, the arrangement pattern is determined in step S140. With respect to the arranged pattern, the layout position information when the correction seal is arranged according to the arranged pattern is stored in the cutting information memory 4d. Then, in a succeeding step S142, the CPU 2
Arranges the correction sticker on the sticker mount in the determined arrangement pattern, displays the layout state of the correction sticker on the seal mount on the display screen of the display device 5, and ends the process.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing for arranging in consideration of the line / column margin in step S135 of FIG. 8 in more detail. In this process, first, the arrangement pattern acquired in step S134 of FIG. 8 is set (step S151), and subsequently, the count value of the arrangement row counter is set to "1" (step S15).
3).

Then, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the correction sticker has already been arranged on the current line indicated by the arrangement line counter (step S153). If the seal has not been arranged, the process proceeds to step S156. . If the correction sticker image has already been positioned, the process proceeds to step S154, where it is possible to arrange the designated correction seal to the right of the already arranged correction sticker. It is determined whether or not.

If it is determined in step S154 that the designated seal cannot be placed, the count value of the placed row counter is incremented (+1) (step S155), and the process returns to step S153. . If it is determined that the arrangement is possible, step S156 is performed.
Move to

In step S156, the arrangement line indicated by the current arrangement line counter is stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c, and the flow advances to step S157 to execute step S157.
It is determined whether or not the arrangement is completed up to the last correction seal of the arrangement pattern set in 151. If it has not been completed yet, the next correction seal is set (step S158), and the process returns to step S152. Also, if all correction stickers have been placed,
A series of processing ends.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the margin area calculating process in step S136 in FIG. 8 in more detail.
In the blank area calculation process, first, the layout pattern obtained in step S134 in FIG. 8 is obtained by performing the layout process in consideration of the line and column margin in step S135, and is stored in the seal layout pattern management memory 4c. The last line of the line is obtained (step S161).

Subsequently, (the last line of the layout obtained in step S161 + 1) is subtracted from the maximum number of rows that can be arranged on the pre-set or automatically selected sticker board. The amount of the lower margin area is calculated by multiplying the number of digits in the line (step S162). That is,
An operation represented by the following equation (1) is performed.

Lower margin area = {maximum paper line− (placement last line + 1)} × paper column (1)

The blank area calculated in step S162 is a blank generated below the correction sticker on the sticker mount when the correction sticker is printed. This margin area can be reused as an unused portion of the seal board.

In the following step S163, "1" is first set to the row pointer n. Then, step S1
At 64, it is determined whether or not the value of the row pointer n has reached (the last row of the arrangement + 1).
If 1) has not been reached, that is, if the correction sticker has been placed on the line indicated by the row pointer n, the flow shifts to step S165. In step S165, in the row indicated by the row pointer n, the number of remaining blank digits generated on the right side of the position where the correction label is arranged is added to the horizontal margin area. Then, the row pointer n is incremented (+1) in step S166, and the process returns to step S164.

In step S164, the row pointer n
CPU value reaches (the last line of the arrangement + 1)
Shifts to step S167, determines the lower margin area and the horizontal margin area (step S167), and ends the processing. The lower margin area and the horizontal margin area determined in step S167 are stored in the seal arrangement pattern management memory 4c in step S137 (FIG. 8).

FIG. 11 shows the character string format information correction processing shown in step S118 of FIG. 7 in more detail.
Prior to the character string format information correction processing, step S1
At 17 (FIG. 7), it is determined whether or not the number of characters changes due to the correction. If the number of characters does not change, the process is terminated. If the number of characters changes, the process from step S171 is started. Is done.

In step S171, the digit pitch after correction is calculated by dividing the digit size of the correction target range in the digit direction by the number of corrected characters. After that, the CPU 2
It is determined whether or not the corrected digit pitch calculated in step S172 is equal to or less than a preset recommended digit maximum pitch and equal to or more than a recommended digit minimum pitch (step S172). Here, the minimum recommended digit pitch is a value obtained by multiplying a digit pitch before correction by a predetermined recommended digit pitch coefficient.

If the corrected digit pitch does not satisfy the condition in step S172, the CPU 2 calculates the recommended character size by multiplying the character size before correction by a predetermined recommended character size coefficient (step S172). S17
3). Then, it is determined whether or not the corrected digit pitch is equal to or larger than the recommended character size calculated in step S173 (step S174).

If the corrected digit pitch is equal to or larger than the recommended character size, the CPU 2 enlarges the size of the correction sticker and increases the size including characters before and after the designated correction target range. Change the number of characters so that a correction sticker is created, adjust the character size and corrected digit pitch again, and the corrected digit pitch satisfies the condition within the recommended digit pitch range. Adjustment is made so that the size is smaller than the character size (step S175).

Then, the CPU 2 stores the new character format in the corrected character data memory 4f (step S17).
6), end the process. In addition, when the corrected digit pitch is equal to or less than the recommended digit maximum pitch and satisfies the recommended digit minimum pitch or more in step S172, and when the corrected digit pitch is smaller than the recommended character size in step S174. Executes the processing of step S176 as it is.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing in more detail the automatic seal cutting process shown in step S120 of FIG. In the automatic seal cutting process, the CPU 2 obtains an arrangement pattern in which the designated margin area (lower margin area or horizontal margin area) is stored in the cutting information memory 4d (step S18).
1) Further, a correction sticker at the head of the arrangement pattern stored in the cutting information memory 4d is set (step S182).

Then, in the processing after step S183, the CPU 2 generates cutting information for each correction seal. That is, in step S184, based on the layout position of the correction seal stored in the cutting information memory 4d in association with each seal number,
The horizontal cutout information is calculated and stored in the cutting information memory 4d as horizontal cutting information. Similarly, at step S185, the cutting information memory 4
Based on the layout position of the correction sticker stored in association with d for each seal number, vertical cutout information is calculated and stored as vertical cutting information in the cutting information memory 4d.

Subsequently, the CPU 2 shifts to the processing for correcting the next seal number in the cutting information memory 4d (step S186), and determines in step S183 whether or not the processing for all the correction seals has been completed. Determine. If it is determined that the processing for all the correction seals has been completed, the cutter unit 6 of the printing apparatus 6 according to the vertical cutting information and the horizontal cutting information stored in the cutting information memory 4d.

Create a seal for

Therefore, a correction seal for correcting a part of a document, a business card, or the like can be easily created. In addition, since the correction stickers are arranged on the seal sheet so that the margin area amount is minimized, the seal sheet can be used efficiently.

Further, the typeface, character size, print color, and the like of the characters originally printed in the correction target range are stored in the character string format storage memory 4e.
Since the character string automatic modification process is performed in accordance with the content stored in e, a correction sticker with less discomfort can be created even when attached to a document or a business card to be corrected.

Further, even when the number of corrected characters printed on the correction sticker is smaller or larger than the number of characters previously printed in the correction target range, the character string format information correction processing is executed. Then, the character size and the digit pitch are adjusted, and inconveniences such as the characters in the correction seal becoming extremely small occur, a correction seal including characters located before and after the correction target range is created. So
Regardless of the content to be corrected by the correction seal, an optimum correction seal can be automatically created.

The word processor 1 in the above embodiment has a timer for calculating the time required for the automatic seal cutting process shown in step S120 (FIG. 7). The time required for the cutting process may be calculated and displayed on the display device 5.
In this case, when the cutting by the cutter unit 62 is started, the user waits according to the end time,
Alternatively, other processing can be performed, and convenience can be improved.

Further, in the word processor 1, in the automatic layout processing of the sticker print result (FIG. 8), each correcting sticker is arranged on the sticker board so as to minimize the margin area amount. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a process of laying out correction stickers in accordance with the order of the seal numbers assigned to the correction stickers may be used.

[Modification 1] Here, as a first modification of the word processor 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a seal printing result in which correction stickers are laid out according to the order of the seal numbers assigned to the correction stickers. The layout processing will be described. In the first modified example, the configuration of each unit of the word processor 1 is assumed to be the same as the configuration of the word processor 1 in the above embodiment.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a seal print result automatic layout process as a first modification of the embodiment of the present invention. In the sticker print result automatic layout process shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 2 sets a counter n and sets the count value to 1 (step S201).

Subsequently, the seal with the seal number n is arranged at the upper left corner of the seal board (step S202), and the count value of the counter n is incremented (+1) (step S203).

Here, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the count value of the counter n exceeds the total number of correction stickers (step S204). If the value of n does not exceed the total number of correction stickers, The correction seal of the seal number n is arranged at the right digit of the seal previously arranged (step S).
205), it is determined whether the correction sticker has protruded from the sticker mount (step S206).

If the correction sticker does not protrude from the sticker mount, the process returns to step S203. If the correction sticker protrudes from the seal mount, the sticker is cleared (step S207), and the seal number is changed. The correction sticker for n is arranged at the left end one line below the correction sticker arranged last time (step S208), and the process returns to step S203.

If the count value of the counter n exceeds the total number of correction stickers in step S204, the process ends.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a seal print result automatic layout process as a second modification of the embodiment of the present invention.

In the sticker print result automatic layout process shown in FIG. 18, the CPU 2 first sets a counter n and sets "1" to the count value of the counter n (step S211). Then, referring to the seal range information of each correction sticker stored in the character string format storage memory 4e, the smallest correction sticker among the correction stickers is determined (step S212), and the smallest correction sticker is determined. The seal is arranged at the upper left corner of the seal mount (step S21).
3).

Subsequently, the CPU 2 increments (+1) the count value of the counter n (step S21).
4) It is determined whether or not the value of the counter n has exceeded the total number of correction stickers (step S215). If the value of the counter n has not exceeded the total number of correction stickers, C
PU2 arranges the n-th smallest correction sticker to the right digit of the correction sticker previously arranged (step S216).

Here, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the correction sticker that has been arranged does not protrude from the seal mount (step S 217). If it does not protrude, the process returns to step S 214. The correction seal is cleared (step S218), and n
The correction seal with the smallest size is placed at the left end one line below the correction seal placed last time (step S219), and the process returns to step S214.

If the value of the counter n exceeds the total number of correction stickers in step S215, the process ends.

FIG. 19 shows a sticker print image screen 5f when a correction sticker is arranged by the sticker print result automatic layout processing shown in FIG. As shown on the sticker print image screen 5f in FIG. 19, the correction stickers are arranged on the seal sheet in ascending order.

As a result, since the correction sticker is arranged and printed in order from the correction sticker corresponding to the smaller correction target range, the workability of attaching the correction sticker can be further improved.

In addition to the first and second modifications, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, similar correction stickers may be collected and arranged on a seal board. FIG. 20 shows a seal print image screen 5g in which, among the correction stickers, correction stickers having similar contents, sizes, and the like, and correction stickers set in advance as a predetermined group are collected and arranged on a sticker mount. FIG. By arranging the correction seals as shown in FIG. 20, the work of attaching a large number of correction seals can be more easily performed, and the workability can be further improved.

The automatic layout processing of the sticker print result in the word processor 1 may be configured such that the correction stickers are arranged in order from the largest correction sticker. The arrangement method can be appropriately changed according to the usability.

Further, in the above-described word processor 1, it is of course possible to create a blank correction sticker on which no character is printed. In this case, the correction sticker created can be used for correcting the character string of the printed matter by hand, or can be used for deleting a part of the character string.
