PHOTOCOMPOSITION LAYOUT SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To always control the process progress state by displaying occasionally those data processing steps including the production of the digital layout data through the plate making. CONSTITUTION:An electronic computer photocomposition system 6 reads the copies as well as the photocomposition layout output data produced by a photocomposition data production means 5 out of a photocomposition FD 5c and outputs the photographic paper output 7. A controller 8 writes the data processing step information into a table memory 8a every time each data processing step is through an at the same time displays the process end steps on a display 9 so that they can be discriminated from unprocessed steps based on the data processing step information stored in the table memory 8a. At the same time, the process end steps displayed on the display 9 are successively display with displacement based on said process step information written into the memory 8a.
