PURPOSE:To improve the use efficiency of a memory as to the character pattern dividing and storing method of a device (printer device) which downloads character patterns from a host and uses them. CONSTITUTION:When only character patterns A as a basic function are used, patterns which is high in use frequency and is low in use frequency are stored by dividing an area within the permissible range of the memory, but when character patterns B are used, patterns which are high in use frequency among the character pattern B are stored by replacing patterns of low use frequency among the character patterns A. When character patterns which are not in the memory in the device are used, they are requested of the host and used without specially being stored in the memory in the device. |
