PURPOSE:To perform printing of information by biasing it by a unit smaller than the width of one letter by a method in which designated bias information of widths smaller than a base unit is stored concurrently with letter code, and address-generating means is controlled when reading out the information. CONSTITUTION:When controlling a fine moving position of 1/120 inches of letter direction (unit direction), one (1) is set in the spacing control (SP) flag of the bit 11 of a page memory 9. In this case, at the time of vertical printing, since the outputs Y0 and Y1 of a selector 49 are delayed by one period of vertical print code signal by a flip-flop 51, the inputI1 of the selector 48 is selected and a picture element counter 28 is allowed to be worked as a septimal counter. Thus, a bias for 2 dots occurs. In the same way, at the time of lateral printing, the flip-flop 51 is set, spacing bias in the present line is designated, and printing is made with bias for only two lines. |
