PURPOSE:To carry out printing at high speed even when resolution is altered by forming a dot pattern having a size corresponding to the resolution power of a recording part from the outline font formed from a dot pattern to register the same. CONSTITUTION:When a dot pattern font is inputted from a host computer 100, said font is registered in a register memory 103 and once converted to an outline font which is, in turn, further converted to the dot pattern corresponding to other resolution printable by a printer engine 107 to be stored in a font memory 104. By this method, in such a case that a character size or a form and resolution are indicated and the start of printing is indicated, for example, when the resolution of the printer engine 107 is 360 dpi and the size of a character is different from the indicated size at the time of printing according to the dot pattern of the register memory 103, the outline font is developed on a bit map using the dot pattern already developed in 50-dotsX50-dots from the outline font. |
