A printing device comprising a character generator storing items of character data, each constituted by a plurality of printing dot data, a first memory for storing the character data read out from the character generator, a printer, and a control unit for driving the printer such that the printer prints the characters represented by the character data, accentuating the outline portions of each character. The printing device further comprises a second memory. The control unit derives, from the character data stored in the first memory, outline-image data representing the outline portions of the characters represented by the character data, and writes the outline-image data into the second memory. It drives the printer in accordance with the character data stored in the first memory and also with the outline-image data stored in the second memory, thereby printing, with a first printing energy, those dots specified by both the character data and the outline-image data, and printing, with a second printing energy, less than the first printing energy, those dots specified by the outline-image data.
