PURPOSE:To achieve a higher printing speed by moving a pen between character fonts at the shortest distance by a printing operation continuity decision output. CONSTITUTION:As a plot pattern data of a character is read out from a memory means 6, the operation is decoded by a printing operation decision means 1-3 to control the operation of a printing means 3, a X-way driving means 4 and a Y-way driving means 5 through a control circuit 2 and a printing is performed in a specified sequence. Then, when a printing operation continuity decision circuit 1 comprising a microcomputer decides that a character to be printed subsequently exists in a printing buffer 1-2, the coordinates of the starting point of the character font for the subsequent character are decoded to control the operations of the means 3-5 through the control circuit 2 so that the movement can be done from the ending point of the font for the preceding character at the shortest distance and a printing is performed from the starting point of the subsequent character.
