PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a print wait time and improve a print speed by increasing a data process speed. SOLUTION: A band scan type raster plotter 2 divides an image output area of one page to a plurality of bands, develops vector data of image information to be output to a bit map memory 8 in a form of raster data for every band, and outputs the image information developed to the bit map memory 8 to a head 10 for every band. The bit map memory 8 when the vector data is developed to the bit map memory 8 is prepared by a maximum capacity necessary for the plotter. A height of the bands is changed according to a print condition. |
