If desired, the above-mentioned various information can be communicated with other document preparation devices by the communication device 80 via a telephone line or the like on the basis of predetermined input instruction information from the keyboard 44. There is.

By the way, when the [print image] key 44c is pressed, the central control processing unit 10 is activated by the signal information sent through the input control unit 42, and a document created or edited and proofread. It is configured to set the mode of the system so that the print image is output and displayed on the display unit 54 in page units under desired conditions.

More specifically, based on the signal information, the central control processing unit 10 first refers to the program information stored in the print image control logic storage area 20d of the ROM 20 to set the system to the print image mode. , And a condition setting message of a document page to be output and displayed as a print image on the display unit 54 is displayed in the guide area 54a of the display unit 54. That is,
That is, the condition setting message "1. current page, 2. previous page, 3. next page, 4. page call" is made in the guide area 54a.

Here, when "1. Current page" is key-input (by number input or cursor designation) from the keyboard 44, the document information of the page currently displayed is output and displayed as a print image on the display unit 54. It is what is done.

When "2. previous page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, the document information of the page before the currently displayed page is output and displayed as a print image on the display section 54. .

Further, when "3. Next page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, the document information of the page next to the currently displayed page is output and displayed as a print image on the display section 54. . Alternatively, when "4. Call page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, a message "Which page do you want to output a print image? Please enter the page number" is displayed in the guide area 54a. When the operator inputs the page number of the desired page, the specified page is displayed as a print image.

Information such as the print image conditions set as described above, the name of the document to which the print image is output, and the total number of pages is stored in the print image control auxiliary information storage area 30d of the RAM 30.

When the print image is displayed and output on the display unit 54, the document name, the number of pages, and the total number of pages for which the print image is output are displayed in the guide area 54a, for example, "document name: patent specification, output page / page". Total number: 2/10 ", and various guide information is output and displayed together with the print image output conditions.

The print image control auxiliary information storage area 30d of the RAM 30 which is designated in the print image setting mode.
Predetermined information is stored in the learning area 30e, and when the print image setting mode is set next time, the condition stored in is preferentially displayed by, for example, positioning the cursor on the previously designated menu. It is something.

The operation of the above structure will be described below. In order to output and display the print image, the [print image] key 44c is pressed to output the print image page by page on the display unit 54 under the desired condition of the created or edited and proofread document information. Mode is set (Y in step S2 in FIG. 2).

Then, the condition setting message for the document page desired to be output and displayed is set in the guide area 54a of the display unit 54 as "1. Current page, 2. Previous page, 3. Next page, 4. Call page". Since the message is formed in the guide area 54a, the operator can input the desired one and press the [select / execute] key 44d (steps S4 and S in FIG. 2).
6), the print image processing is performed under the designated condition (step S8 in FIG. 2).

That is, when "1. Current page" is key-input from the keyboard 44 (by number input or cursor designation),
The document information of the currently displayed page is output and displayed as a print image on the display unit 54.

When "2. previous page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, the document information of the page before the currently displayed page is output and displayed on the display unit 54 as a print image. Further, when "3. Next page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, the document information and the like of the page next to the currently displayed page are output and displayed as a print image on the display unit 54. Alternatively, when "4. Call page" is keyed in from the keyboard 44, a message "Which page do you want to output a print image? Please enter the page number" is displayed in the guide area 54a. When the operator inputs the page number of the desired page by key input, the designated page is output as a print image and displayed.

The conditions set at the same time as the print image processing are also output and displayed in the guide area 54a. If the print image setting condition of step S4 is not executed (N of step S6 of FIG. 2) and the condition is to be reset, if a key other than the [Cancel] key 44e is pressed (step of FIG. 2). The process moves to N) of S10, and the step of setting print image conditions.

Alternatively, if the print image setting condition of step S4 is not executed (N of step S6 of FIG. 2) and the condition is not reset, press the [Cancel] key 44e (step of FIG. 2). The Y) of S10 and the print image are finished.

In the above embodiment, "1. current page, 2. previous page,
3. Next page, 4. Since the desired print image can be obtained by setting the condition of "page call", the print image of the desired portion can be obtained easily and quickly, and the operability can be remarkably improved. In particular, conventionally, the print image operation is different from the normal input or editing / proofreading work, and the operation is troublesome, the number of key touches increases, and it takes a long time to display a desired page. However, according to the present embodiment, such a thing does not occur at all. In addition, since the number of key touches is large as in the conventional case, the probability of inducing an erroneous operation is increased and the work efficiency is significantly reduced. However, such a problem is also solved by the present invention. Is.
