PURPOSE: To easily use even outline data inputted in a printer control language different from the language of a data interpreting means for printing by providing a specific outline data storage means, a specific outline data reading-in means, and a specific painting-out means. CONSTITUTION: Outline data is downloaded to one of data interpreting means 102 and 103, which is effective at present, in a peculiar printer control language and is stored in an outline data storage means 105. Outline data stored in the outline data storage means 105 is selectively read in correspondingly to each of data interpreting means 102 and 103 by an outline data reading-in means 104. When data interpreting means 102 and 103 are switched to perform printing, stored outline data is used if outline data of font for printing is stored in the outline data storage means 105, ana the bit map generated by a painting-out means 107 is used to perform printing. |
