Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0072709A2] A printer control system which can print characters or symbols on a recording sheet having a predetermined size and in which the height of said characters or symbols may be changed. The control system includes a sensor for obtaining an indication of the effective recording length remaining in said recording sheet. A comparison is made of the effective recording length with a width of a printing line to be printed or the sum of this width and a width of an interline. A determination according to a result of the comparison is made as to whether or not printing the printing line subjected to the comparison should be effected on the space remaining or, on the next recording sheet. Hence, the number of lines for any characters or symbols to be printed on the recording sheet is limited.
