SIGN GENERATING APPARATUS

摘要

A sign generating apparatus comprises a keyboard for entering first sign data and second sign data, a processor for supervising the data input during intervals, and a cutting apparatus for cutting a first sign based on the first sign data and a second sign based on the second sign data. The processor is programmed to supply cutting vectors to the cutting apparatus in between the intervals in which it supervises the data entry so that the cutting apparatus is capable of cutting the first sign while the second sign data is entered through the keyboard. The processor is also programmed to determine the layout of the second sign and supply cutting vectors to the cutting apparatus in an overlapped manner. The processor is also programmed to supply display vectors to a graphics controller and supply cutting vectors to the cutting apparatus in an overlapped manner.
