ABSTRACT:
A tape printer capable of simply printing character strings of inputted text in a variety of text row shapes, wherein, when a character string ABCD is developed into a dot pattern data according to a pattern number 1, first the lower edge of the character pattern for character A is aligned with the alignment standard position KP1 (baseline) and arranged in the print buffer. Then the character sizes of the characters B, C, and D are each increased compared to a respective previous character by the size change amount calculated in the size change amount calculation process control. With each increase, the lower edges of the character pattern is aligned with the alignment standard position KP1 and the resultant character patterns are arranged in order in the print buffer. The character string is printed in a character string shape based on the dot pattern data developed in the print buffer so that character sizes of characters in the character string ABCD gradually increase.
