Vertical printing system on chinese character printer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To eliminate necessity of a special vertical character pattern by adding a character pattern processing identification information for vertical printing to a character pattern itself incorporated in a Chinese character printer. CONSTITUTION: A vertical printing setting indication 7 and a character code are sent to a Chinese character printer 1 from a print indication issuing device 2. The printer 1 accesses a pattern area 5 of a memory 3 according to the character code, reads a corresponding character pattern 9, identifies a specific part of the character pattern 9 read at a lateral/vertical printing conversion division 6, performs a conversion processing of "rotation at 90° left", "inversion centered at a lateral axis" or of "nothing to be done" etc. according to the information, edits for one page at an editing area, and then performs printing at a print division 4.
