PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce printing loads caused by a form overlay during printing. SOLUTION: A form producing part 3 produces from data in accordance with description languages for producing decoded form data before application to the from storing part 4 and table producing part 5. A table producing part 5 produces a corresponding table and storing it into a corresponding table storing part 6. When printing data is applied from the host device 7, a data substitution part 8 takes in a form from the form storing part 4. The corresponding table storing part 6 reads out address in an area corresponding to ID and the size of data corresponding to ID, and operates to replaces the data in the area with printing data (d). A raster transformation part 9 transforms a part with flag data set to be printed by ID among data applied from the data substitution part 8 into a raster image, and then operates to output it to the printing part 10. |
