Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the review of the details of error, by a method wherein, the function of judging and sorting the type of a generated error is added to an error analysis processing part, and an error is outputted together with the type of the error. CONSTITUTION:A data analysis part 5 sends an error type signal to an error- type error data generation part 6. The error-type error data generation part 6 sends an error response signal to an external equipment via an interface part 2, whereby the external equipment identifies the generation of error. In addition, the error-type error data generation part 6 generates error output data as well as error-type data. An error analysis processing part 4 sorts generated errors according to specified types of errors and outputs an error signal with error type information added; therefore, a user can remarkably efficiently cope with the error when reviewing the details of error in the occurrence of error.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data processing device having an output image pattern processing function, such as an electronic copying printer.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this type of conventional data processing device, in which (2) is an interface section for receiving and passing data to and from external equipment, and 131 is a data buffer section. It consists of a memory that sequentially stores output data and control data input from external equipment. (14
) The data analysis unit (15) determines whether the data is specified between the external device and the data processing device in the Fi error analysis unit, and when an error occurs, generates an error response and error data indicating the error details. error data generation section (
16). (The 71ti output data expansion unit expands the input and processed data in the form of a code into an image (71 turns) and stores it in the internal memory (image memory). (8)
is an output processing section which outputs the output image turns stored in the output data development section (7) as an output result (19). Also, (11) shows the entire Fi data processing device.

Next, the operation will be explained. Output data and control data transferred from an external device are received by the interface section (shi), sent to the data buffer section (31), and sequentially stored in its memory. Figure 5 shows the flow after the error analysis section (14). In the flowchart showing the control operation, (21) to (29)
indicates each step. The output data and control data are taken in from the data buffer unit (31) to the data analysis unit (15) in step (21), and in step (22) it is determined whether the data is specified between the external device and the data processing device (11). It is analyzed whether or not.

The analysis result is judged in step (23)', and the judgment result is Y.
In the case of ES, in steps (25) and (26), the output data is developed into images and patterns, stored in the internal memory, and sequentially read out to the output processing unit (8:) to generate output data and output result (19). If the determination of Stella f (23) is ko, the process moves to step (27), where an error signal is sent from the data analysis section (15) to the error data generation section (16).
The error data generation section (16) sends an error response signal to the external device via the interface section (21), and the external device recognizes the occurrence of an error.Next, the process moves to Stella 7" (29), and the error data generation section The section (16) generates error output data and sends it to the output data expansion section (7), where the error output data is expanded into a corresponding image pattern and stored in the internal memory.

Output processing unit +81tj Outputs an image/arm turn representing error output data as an output result (19).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional data processing devices are configured as described above, so when there is an equal pressure error in output data or control data,
It is possible to recognize that an error has occurred, but in order to determine the type of error that has occurred, the user must examine the error output results and make a determination, which poses the problem of requiring time and effort. there were.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional ones, and when an error occurs in output data or control data, it is possible to recognize the error occurrence, and
The object is to obtain a data processing device that can also recognize the error type.

[Means for solving problems]

The data processing device related to this issue adds a function to determine and classify the type of error that has occurred to the error analysis processing section that analyzes errors in output data and control data, and displays information on the type of error that has occurred in the error output result as an image. - Added and output in the form of a mother turn.

[Effect]

The error analysis processing unit in this invention classifies the generated error into a specified error type and adds error type information when outputting an error signal, allowing the user to handle the error extremely efficiently when examining the error content when an error occurs. You can.

Error type error data generation section (6) indicates when an error occurs,
Generates error response to external equipment, error harvesting, and error data indicating error details.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of this invention will be explained.

In FIG. 1, portions with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 4 operate in the same manner, so a duplicate explanation will be omitted. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the error analysis processing section (41 and subsequent steps) in FIG. Step (23) in FIG. 5 will be omitted.
) are steps (23-a) to (23-d) in Figure 2.
These steps are divided into four steps: whether the control command is a specified control command (23-a), whether the control command is a specified standard meter (23-b), and whether the control command is a specified 7-step meter. - Analyze and determine whether or not the output data has a specified length (23-c) and whether the output data has a specified length (23-d). When all the judgment results are YES, the process moves to step (25), but when any judgment is No, the process moves to any of steps (24-a) to (24-d) corresponding to that judgment. Then, error settings corresponding to the type of error that has occurred are made, and the process moves to step (27-a). Stella f (
In 27-a), the data analysis section (5) sends the error type signal to the error type error data generation section (6), and the error type error data generation section (6) sends the error response signal to the interface section (2). The external device recognizes the occurrence of an error. In addition, the error type error data generation section generates error specific data as shown in Stella 7' (28), and also generates error output data, and thereafter the same process as described in FIGS. 4 and 5 is performed.
