Abstract
Abstract Partial forms constituting parts of a slip or the like are stored in a printing apparatus side. A partial form corresponding to the type of data output from a computer is read out, and the data is overlaid with the partial form to be printed. One slip is formed by combining a plurality of partial forms. Therefore, a slip can be formed in accordance with the number and type of data, and data can be properly fitted in a form and printed. A large variety of types of forms can be printed in accordance with the type or the like of data to be printed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A printing apparatus, comprising: storage means for storing partial form information, a reference output position of said partial form information, and item data of print data to be arranged in the form information, in accordance with each form type representing each type of partial form; control means for receiving print data and information designating a partial form type corresponding thereto, and for reading out partial form information from said storage means in accordance with a received partial form type; means for adding print data corresponding to the item data to the readout partial form information and for outputting the added print data and the partial form information; update means for updating the reference output position every time the added print data and the partial form information is output; and means for printing the print data to which the partial form information is added at the updated reference output position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A printing apparatus, comprising: storage means for storing partial form information, a reference output position of said partial form information, and item data of print data to be arranged in the form information, in accordance with each form type representing each type of partial form; control means for receiving print data and information designating a partial form type corresponding thereto, and for reading out partial form information from said storage means in accordance with a received partial form type; means for adding print data corresponding to the item data to the readout partial form information and for outputting the added print data and the partial form information; update means for updating the reference output position every time the added print data and the partial form information is output; and means for printing the print data to which the partial form information is added at the updated reference output position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each partial form information stored in said storage means comprises partial form information corresponding to one-record print data, said control means reading out partial form information corresponding to a form type of a received one-record print data, and said update means updates a reference output position thereof by an amount corresponding to a vertical size of one record.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said storage means stores partial form information for a title form and a new page form, and said control means reads out each partial form information such that the title form information is set at a title position of one page and the new page form information is set at a new page position of one page.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
137 words
A printing apparatus, comprising: form storage means for storing a partial form adapted to constituting a part of a slip; control means for receiving data and partial form designating information corresponding to the received data from an apparatus main body, and for reading out a corresponding partial form from said form storage means on the basis of the received partial form designating information; means for printing a readout partial form and its corresponding data received from said apparatus main body, such that the data received from said apparatus main body is printed and overlayed on a partial form corresponding thereto; and means for associating a plurality of partial forms and respective associated received data with each other to constitute an overall form of a slip, and wherein said printing means prints said overall form of a slip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
137 words
A printing apparatus, comprising: form storage means for storing a partial form adapted to constituting a part of a slip; control means for receiving data and partial form designating information corresponding to the received data from an apparatus main body, and for reading out a corresponding partial form from said form storage means on the basis of the received partial form designating information; means for printing a readout partial form and its corresponding data received from said apparatus main body, such that the data received from said apparatus main body is printed and overlayed on a partial form corresponding thereto; and means for associating a plurality of partial forms and respective associated received data with each other to constitute an overall form of a slip, and wherein said printing means prints said overall form of a slip.
