20080304890 | Character input apparatus and method for automatically switching input mode in terminal having touch screen - Provided is a character input method and apparatus for automatically switching an input mode in a terminal having a touch screen. If a press event occurs in one of key regions displayed in the touch screen, it is determined whether a drag event occurs prior to occurrence of a release event. According to whether the drag event occurs, one of a separate input mode for inputting one of characters of a corresponding character group and a text input mode for inputting a word including one of the characters of the character group is executed. Thus, a user can easily input a character by rapidly selecting a desired input mode. | 12-11-2008 |

The composition module may be configured to generate one or more dynamic tables having a plurality of fields, where each field of each dynamic table is automatically populated with a non-null value based on relevant information from the worksheet. The composition module may also be configured to identify one or more relevant terms and conditions provisions based on the relevant information, and automatically populate at least a portion of a document with the one or more dynamic tables and the relevant terms and conditions provisions. | 10-22-2009 |
20100021221 | Process For Manufacturing A Paperboard Key Card - The present invention pertains to a system and method for manufacturing paperboard key cards. The invention involves feeding a continuous paper web into a system that prints a pattern of insignia upon the web, and also stamps a magnetic stripe onto the web in a periodic manner. The web passes through a dicer, which cuts the cards out of the web via a patterned die. The cards are then sent to a conveyor to be stacked and packaged, while the remaining web is directed in a direction divergent from the card flow. | 01-28-2010 |
20100247204 | PRINTER - A tape printing apparatus registers a word string constituting document data to be printed by depression of a print key in a learnt-contents storing region under subscribed conditions. A CPU divides the document data to be printed into letter strings based on information about constituent letters of the to-be-printed word string and a learning condition determination table. Thereafter, the CPU determines whether or not the to-be-printed word string should be registered based on registered letter string data stored in the learnt-contents storing region and the contents of the divided letter string. | 09-30-2010 |
20110236104 | TAPE PRINTING APPARATUS, CHARACTER ARRANGEMENT DECIDING MEHTOD FOR TAPE PRINTING APPARAUS, AND PROGRAM FOR THE SAME - A tape printing apparatus includes: a paragraph creating unit which creates a paragraph including plural lines of character strings; a justification setting unit which sets justification to evenly allocate other lines to the same length as a longest line, of the plural lines in the paragraph; a character mode setting unit which sets a non-target range to be a non-target of the justification, on a character basis within the paragraph, and sets a length of character spacing within the non-target range; a character arrangement deciding unit which carries out justification based on the justification setting unit in a target range excluding the non-target range set by the character mode setting unit, and thus decides an arrangement of characters in each line included in the paragraph; and a printing unit which prints the paragraph on a tape with the character arrangement decided by the character arrangement deciding unit. | 09-29-2011 |
400062000 | Including means for responding to input program or incoming signals and providing output program or signals representing typing operations (e.g., output typewriter) | 6 |
20080205957 | PRINTER HEAD CHIP FOR DETECTING ERROR, PRINTER HEAD INCLUDING THE PRINTER HEAD CHIP, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A printer head including a printer head chip to detecting an error, capable of detecting an operation error in the printer head chip while printing is performed during a redundancy period, and a method of controlling the same. The printer head chip includes an input unit to sequentially receive printed data, a counting unit to count discharged data using the printed data and to store the number of discharged data, a generator unit to sum the stored number of discharged data during a redundancy period and to generate resultant information using the summed number of discharged data, and a transmitting unit to transmit the resultant information to a printer head controller. | 08-28-2008 |
20080205958 | Tape printer, tape printing progam and tape cassette - A tape printer for printing a tape stored in a detachable tape cassette includes a detection device that detects a type of a loaded tape cassette, a receiving device that receives data from an external device, a permission determination device that determines whether or not the type of the cassette detected by the detection device is the one permitting a predetermined action except ordinary printing instructed in data received by the receiving device, and an operation control device that enables the predetermined action if it is determined to be permitted by the permission determination device. | 08-28-2008 |
20080213018 | HAND-PROPELLED SCRAPBOOKING PRINTER - A handheld, hand-propelled mobile printer is disclosed for use in printing a scrapbook item on a scrapbook sheet. The printed item may be any graphic, image, drawing, illustration, text, embellishment, or other scrapbook item. The printer receives or generates image data of the item and a user moves the printer on a scrapbook sheet for printing the item. A position module provides absolute position data so that the item is accurately printed. Use of the handheld, hand-propelled printer allows a user to add items to a scrapbook at many locations and without the need for a desktop or other stationary printer. | 09-04-2008 |
20080240826 | Systems and methods for extending printer availability - Embodiments of systems and methods for extending printing device availability detect a level of printing consumable, compare the detected level of printing consumable to a threshold level, provide a selection of printing modes if the detected level of printing consumable is less than the threshold level, and control the printing device to print in the selected printing mode. Printing device availability-extending modes include printing in a lower resolution, simulating black with a composite of colors, and/or printing in a substitute color when the level of one or more colors is low.

20090003913 | PRINTING SYSTEM - A print controlling method in a print controlling apparatus for controlling printing processing by using printing limitation information indicating printing limitation, including an obtaining step of obtaining printing limitation information; an identifying step of identifying printing setting set to the printing data; a deciding step of deciding the printing setting by which the printing setting is within the printing authority information by using the printing setting identified at the identifying step and the printing authority information; a determining step of determining whether the printing setting decided by the deciding unit is inconsistent with the other setting set to the printing data; and an executing unit for allowing the printing setting for the printing data outside the range of the printing authority information if it is determined as inconsistent at the determining step, is disclosed. | 01-01-2009 |
20090080958 | PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS, PRINTING CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A printing control apparatus is provided which can produce an appropriate copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image by adding a monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern even if monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which a color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set. When the monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which the color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set, and if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern color is output with its color unchanged, the color is not converted into 100% black. Considering this, when a forced monochrome mode is selected, even if the user's setting for the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is color, the color is changed to monochrome (black) before output. If the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is for color, the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is changed to the monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting so that the printing processing is performed in the monochrome mode using the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting. | 03-26-2009 |
