<p>In printing a pseudo half tone image, the pulse width of an image data pulse is reduced, so that when isolated dots in the image are prinred, the isolated dot part become whitish and repeatability may be lowered. A region division section judges whether the data are binary data of characters or the pseudo half tone image data. For the pseudo half tone image data, a dot pattern identification section discriminates consecutive dots from isolated dots. An image data pulse control section controlls the pulse width of the image data pulse in accordance with the result of the identification. A printer engine performs print as output with each dot of which dimention is dependent on the controlled pulse width. Therefore when the image with characters and pictures mixed togather is output, the printing as output can be performed in accordance with the character region and the pseudo half tone image region. <IMAGE></p> |
