In a print data editing circuit in a serial printer of the invention, print data signals for odd pins (P1, P3, P9, P11, P17, P19) and other odd pins (P5, P7, P13, P15, P21, P23) in print data supplied from a buffer RAM are sequentially shifted and stored in first and second registers in response to a first write signal. Similarly, print data signals for even pins (P2, P4, P10, P12, P18, P20) and other even pins (P6, P8, P14, P16, P22, P24) are sequentially shifted and stored in third and fourth registers in response to a second write signal. The print data signals from the first through fourth registers are respectively latched by first through fourth buffer registers in response to an interrupt signal from a timer. The data signals are simultaneously output from the first through fourth buffer registers and supplied to a pin drive circuit.
