Abstract
Abstract A terminal device includes a memory unit, a converting unit, a printing unit, a bar code reading unit and a creating unit. The memory unit stores the inputted preset data. The converting unit converts the preset data stored in the memory unit into bar code data. The printing unit prints the bar code data converted by the converting unit. The bar code reading unit reads the bar codes printed by the printing unit. The creating unit creates the preset data from the bar codes read by the bar code reading unit and sets the created preset data.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A terminal device comprising: memory means for storing preset data which sets condition of the terminal device; changing means for changing the preset data stored in said memory means into new items of preset data; converting means for converting the new items of preset data stored in said memory means into bar code data necessary to output a bar code; printing means for outputting the bar code based on the bar code data converted by said converting means; bar code reading means for reading the bar codes printed by said printing means; and creating means for creating new preset data from the bar codes read by said bar code reading means and setting the operating condition of the terminal device from the new preset data and storing the new preset data as preset data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A terminal device comprising: memory means for storing preset data which sets condition of the terminal device; changing means for changing the preset data stored in said memory means into new items of preset data; converting means for converting the new items of preset data stored in said memory means into bar code data necessary to output a bar code; printing means for outputting the bar code based on the bar code data converted by said converting means; bar code reading means for reading the bar codes printed by said printing means; and creating means for creating new preset data from the bar codes read by said bar code reading means and setting the operating condition of the terminal device from the new preset data and storing the new preset data as preset data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the bar codes outputted from said printing means are two-dimensional bar codes inclusive of a plurality of code words in lengthwise and crosswise directions respectively, and each code word is composed of a module string in which bars and spaces are combined.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A terminal device according to claim 2, further comprising display means for displaying the preset data stored in said memory means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A terminal device according to claim 2, wherein said converting means includes: a first table for converting the preset data into numerical values of the code words; and a second table for converting the numerical values of the code words into values of widths of bars and spaces that are alternately arranged in the module string.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
A terminal device according to claim 2, wherein said creating means includes: a first table for converting the values of the widths of the bars and the spaces that are read by said bar code reading means into the numerical values of the code words; and a second table for converting the numerical values of the code words into the preset data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
136 words
A data setting method comprising: a storing step of storing preset data which sets an operating condition of a terminal device, in said terminal device; changing step for changing the preset data stored in said storing step into new items of preset data; a converting step of converting the new items of preset data stored in said storing step into bar code data necessary to output a bar code; a printing step of outputting the bar code based on the bar code data converted in said converting step; a bar code reading step of reading the bar codes printed in said printing step; and a creating step of creating new preset data from the bar codes read in said bar code reading step and setting the operating condition of the terminal from the new preset data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
136 words
A data setting method comprising: a storing step of storing preset data which sets an operating condition of a terminal device, in said terminal device; changing step for changing the preset data stored in said storing step into new items of preset data; a converting step of converting the new items of preset data stored in said storing step into bar code data necessary to output a bar code; a printing step of outputting the bar code based on the bar code data converted in said converting step; a bar code reading step of reading the bar codes printed in said printing step; and a creating step of creating new preset data from the bar codes read in said bar code reading step and setting the operating condition of the terminal from the new preset data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
A data setting method according to claim 6, wherein the bar codes outputted in said printing step are two-dimensional bar codes inclusive of a plurality of code words in lengthwise and crosswise directions respectively, and each code word is composed of a module string in which bars and spaces are combined.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A data setting method according to claim 7, further comprising displaying step for displaying the preset data stored in said storing step.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
65 words
A data setting method according to claim 7, wherein said converting step includes: a step of creating a first table for converting the preset data into numerical values of the code words; and a step of creating a second table for converting the numerical values of the code words into values of widths of bars and spaces that are alternately arranged in the module string.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
A data setting method according to claim 7, wherein said creating step includes: a step of creating a first table for converting the values of the widths of the bars and the spaces that are read by said bar code reading step into the numerical values of the code words; and a step of creating a second table for converting the numerical values of the code words into the preset data.
