PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the print time of a system having a print part with relatively small memory capacity and relatively low CPU processing capability by saving print data in a print data saving memory when it is judged that the print data generation time is longer than the print time. SOLUTION: A print control program 16 saves print data in the print data saving memory 28 and loads the print data from the print data saving memory 28 according to decision result of a decision part 20. A print data expanding engine 18 generates the print data from the data stored in a generated data storage memory 22 with a print instruction of a print menu and stores the data in a print data generation memory 26. The decision part 20 compares the print time of a printer part 60 with the print data generation time needed by the print data expanding engine 18 to generate the print data and saves the print data in the print data saving memory 28 at the time of judging that the print data generation time is longer than the print time. |
