  • Patent number: 8149432
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that can be connected to an image-forming apparatus, a method, and a program used for the information processing apparatus are disclosed. The information processing apparatus comprises a control unit for controlling print-setting information set for document data to be printed, a recognition unit for recognizing information about a first function specified by the print-setting information by translating the print-setting information controlled by the control unit, an obtaining unit for obtaining information about a second function of the image-forming apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus, a determination unit for determining whether or not the image-forming apparatus can perform the first function recognized by the recognition unit based on the second-function information obtained by the obtaining unit, and a modification unit for modifying the print-setting information controlled by the control unit based on the determination result.

  • Patent number: 4676674
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data input/output unit which is equipped with a control device (1), a tape puncher (5), a tape reader (4) and a printer (6), and which is capable of operating even in response to a command from a host computer. The printer (6) is provided with a tab set counter (6ca) for setting a number of spaces. A number equivalent to a predetermined number of spaces is added to a print number set in a bit counter (6cc) of the printer (6) and space print data indicative of a prescribed number of spaces is successively set at the beginning of print data for a line to be printed in a print character register (6cg), thereby making it possible to maintain a predetermined space at the left margin on printing paper.

  • Patent number: 4162130
    Abstract: A desk top justifying text writing composing machine including automatic encoding and reading control means for operating a desk top justifying reproducing machine, or for operating larger and more sophisticated printing machines capable of automatic justification. The machine will produce unjustified typed lines and will automatically encode for controlling another machine to print justified lines, as a result of a single series of manual keyboard composing operations and automatic code controlled reproducing operations for producing a justified copy of a literal text, respectively.

The machine will produce unjustified typed lines and will automatically encode for controlling another machine to print justified lines, as a result of a single series of manual keyboard composing operations and automatic code controlled reproducing operations for producing a justified copy of a literal text, respectively.The machine includes a delete key and automatic deleting and back spacing means that reverses the machine and deletes codes from a code medium according to previously encoded information for back space correction purposes. The machine operates much like a normal office typewriter and may be operated by a person with a little more than normal typewriting skills for encoding a justified corrected text and function control codes.

  • Patent number: 4099606
    Abstract: A justifying text writing reproducing machine for automatic or manual typing of text includes a keyboard enabling an operator to manually type text, and reader means responsive to coded information on a coded medium for automatically typing lines of text. The machine is responsive to separate coded function information on the coded medium for conditioning the machine to perform separate functions such as justification, print or no-print, bold or regular typing, and for printing upper or lower case characters, and the machine is responsive to other separate coded information for conditioning the machine to perform combinations of such functions. The conditioning may be overridden. The carriage of the machine is stepped incrementally in order to enable display of characters with different predetermined widths.
