Description

How to set up additional information in documents

The present invention relates to a method of setting additional information, and more particularly, to a method of setting additional information of a document that enables a user to add text to a predetermined page desired by a user in a document created by an application program.

When a user sends a document created using various applications from a computer to a printer, the printer forms an image on the print paper with colored dyes such as ink or toner according to the print data sent by the user. To print.

In this case, the user adds various types of text (eg, gray pattern text or outline text) to the document that the user wants to output, indicating that the document is a security document or other special document. Can be displayed at a predetermined position on the print paper on which the print data is output, which is an additional function of the printer driver, which is called a watermark function.

When a user wants to add a watermark to a document created by an application program, the user selects a print button, selects a watermark function button among registered properties of a printer, and inputs desired text. The user can designate the letter shape, size and position of the input watermark text, and designate a page to add the watermark text. When the document to which the watermark is added is output to the printer as described above, the watermark text input by the user is added to a predetermined position and output on all pages or the first page of the output document.

However, according to the method of setting additional information of such a document, the following problem occurs.

That is, when a user adds a watermark to indicate additional information of the document, the watermark is printed and output on the first page or all pages of the document. Therefore, when a user wants to add a watermark to a predetermined page among documents created by an application program, it is troublesome to output the entire document at once and divide the page to which the watermark is to be added into some sections.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to allow a user to select a page to which a watermark is to be added from a document created by an application program, so that the entire document is added even if a watermark is added to some pages. Provides a method of setting the additional information of the document that can be output at a time.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above objects is the step of checking whether a print command for transmitting a document created in an application program of a computer to a printer is selected, and if the print command is selected, setting a watermark function indicating information of the document. Detecting the predetermined watermark text by the method, adding the detected watermark text to the preset page in the document, and transmitting the print data and the watermark text of the document to the printer.

Preferably, the watermark function setting method includes a watermark selection step of selecting a watermark function button capable of adding text representing information about a document, and, if the watermark function button is selected, add a watermark from a document. And a page input step of setting a page, and a text input step of inputting text and text information of the watermark when the page is set.

Preferably, the method for setting the additional information of the document further includes retrieving the setting state of the watermark flag when the print command is selected, and detecting the watermark text when the watermark flag is set to 1. It is characterized by.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a computer applied to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart for performing a method for setting additional information of a document according to the present invention. 3A illustrates a basic display window for setting a watermark, and FIG. 3B shows a display window for changing a watermark option. Referring to FIG. 4 is a view showing a printing state of the watermark set in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, the central processing unit 11 for a computer controls the system as a whole, and in particular, the watermark text selected by the printer driver 14 is added to a predetermined page of a document created by the application 13 and transmitted to the printer. To control.

The memory 12 stores data generated as a result of performing various control programs and programs necessary for driving the system, and particularly watermark text indicating additional information of a document created by the user program 13.

The application program 13 is a program that allows a user to create or edit various documents.

The printer driver 14 is driven to perform a print job of the print data created by the application 13, and in particular, when a watermark function button for displaying document information is selected, a page to add a watermark can be selected. Displays the selection display on the screen.

The input / output port 15 transmits a print command, a printing condition, print data, and the like to the printer 20, receives a state of the printer 20, and the like so that the printer driver 14 can manage the printer 10. Interface between the printers 20.

The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The central processing unit 11 for the computer checks whether the user has selected the print command to output the document created by the application 13 to the printer 20 (S201), and if the print command is selected, the application program 13 The setting state of the watermark flag is checked in order to confirm whether a watermark function for adding additional information of the created document is set (S202).

Here, a method of setting a watermark function for adding additional information of a document will be described with reference to FIG.

When the user selects the watermark function button provided in the printer driver 14 so that the user can add additional information at a predetermined position on the printing paper in order to display information on the document created by the application program 13, the watermark is added. Location and watermark text can be set. Here, the default value of the watermark is set to the entire document page, and if the user wants to select a position to add the watermark from the entire document, the user may designate the page after selecting some pages. After setting the page to add a watermark as described above, the user inputs the desired watermark text and selects the shape, size, and position of the input watermark text, thereby displaying information about the document. The setting is completed. In addition, data according to the watermark function setting is stored in a predetermined position of the memory 12.

The watermark function is set in the manner described above to check whether the watermark flag is 1 (S203). If the watermark flag is set to 1, it is checked whether the watermark setting mode is the default value (S204).

As a result of the check, if the watermark mode is the default value, text indicating document information stored in the memory 12 is added to the entire page (S205), and the print data and the watermark text are printed through the input / output port 15 through the printer. It transmits to 20 (S206). Check that the transmission to the printer 20 is completed (S207), if the transmission is complete (clear) (S208), the print job is terminated (S209), and all processes are terminated.

In addition, if the setting mode of the watermark is not the default value, text indicating document information stored in the memory 12 is added to the predetermined page selected by the user (S210), and the print data and the watermark are transmitted to the printer 20. In step 206 (S206) to perform.

On the other hand, if the watermark flag is not set to 1 in step 203 (S203) of checking whether the checked watermark flag is 1, a general print job of transmitting print data to the printer 20 is performed (S211). If the data transfer is completed, the print job is terminated (S209), and all processes are finished. The watermark text output on the printing paper through the above process is as shown in FIG. 4.

Therefore, while printing the entire document created by the user at once, the user can select the desired page and add the text.
