An outputting apparatus for receiving print data constructed by binary data and/or multi-value data from an external apparatus and for printing comprises: a memory having a multi-value data area and a binary data area of limited memory capacity; a reducing circuit to reduce the capacity of the binary data area when the amount of multi-value data is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount; a printer for reading out the multi-value data and the binary data from the memory; and a controller for controlling data storage into the binary data area and reading of the binary data from the binary data area synchronously with the printing by the printer when the binary data area has been reduced by the reducing circuit. By virtue of making the memory capacity of the binary data variable in accordance with the amount of multi-value data, the memory space can be efficiently used.
