HALF-TONE DOT MESHING PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR REDUCED CAPTION

摘要

PURPOSE:To print upper and lower captions and to print a half-tone dot meshing pattern respectively to the upper and lower captions by separating data for half-tone dot meshing to the upper and lower captions into data for the upper and lower captions and respectively independently executing half-tone dot meshing printing. CONSTITUTION:A data separating means 1, which inputted line data 14, identifies respective characters and a control code. Then, the data are separated into data 151 concerning full-size and half-size characters, which include the control code of half-tone dot meshing, and the upper caption and data 152 of the lower caption including the control code of half-tone dot meshing and held as separated data 15. Next, in a half- tone dot meshing data preparing means 12, the two data of the data 15 are identified and data for control concerning a part, to which half-tone dot meshing is executed, are independently prepared and stored in a memory as half-tone dot meshing data 16 of data 161 for the full-size and half-size characters and upper caption and data 162 for the lower caption. In an output data editing means 13, based on the prepared data 15 and 16, output data 17 are prepared to be used when two lines are printed.
