PURPOSE:To output in a format in various output states even if output format control information is not prepared at a host system side by reading the information designated by a controller from a format memory, and controlling to edit according to the read information. CONSTITUTION:A data output device has a receiver 10 for receiving data from a host system, a controller 11 for editing received data to output data according to output format control information, and an output unit 13 for displaying or printing the output data. A format memory 12 for storing a plurality of output format control information is provided, the controller 11 reads the information from the memory 12, and controls to edit according to the information. Thus, the host system may not prepare and transmit an output format control command to match the data output device, but may output only output data, thereby alleviating the load of the host system. |
