First Claim
Patent Images
1. An output apparatus comprising:
- memory means having a capacity of storing a first plurality of forms each including ruled lines wherein each of the forms will be synthesized with data representing a character pattern upon output of the form and the data;
instructing means for providing a test instruction for generating and outputting a second plurality of forms from said memory means the second plurality being equal to or less than the first plurality; and
output means, responsive to the test instruction provided by said instruction means, for generating and outputting the second plurality of stored forms, wherein said output means outputs the second plurality of forms on respective different pages.

5. An output processing method comprising the steps of:
-
storing a first plurality of forms, each including ruled lines, wherein each of the forms will be synthesized with data representing a character pattern upon output of the form and the data; providing a test instruction for generating and outputting a second plurality of forms from said storing step, the second plurality being equal to or less than the first plurality; and generating and outputting the second plurality of stored forms, wherein said output means outputs the second plurality of forms on respective different pages in response to the test instruction provided in said instructing step. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
