ABSTRACT:
There is provided an output apparatus in which an output resolution can be changed and a memory medium including character information of printing dot patterns is detachable. The memory medium has holding means for storing and holding output density information of dot patterns of characters stored in the memory medium. The apparatus comprises in one embodiment: reading means for reading out the output density information from the memory medium; and changing means for changing the output resolution on the basis of the output density read out by the reading means. When the output density information read out by the reading means differs from the printing resolution of the apparatus itself in the reading mode, the character information of the dot pattern in the memory medium is not used. With the apparatus, even if the number of dots constructing a character is changed, the character pattern can be automatically output at the optimum output resolution.
