ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a printing apparatus implemented as a laser printer capable of changing the print format when outputting print data. When the operator changes the print format at the printer, the CPU changes the print data in a text buffer of a built-in RAM according to the changed print format, the data being converted into image data in a dot pattern for storage into an image buffer. The operator then pushes a reprint key, causing the CPU to read the pages of print data stored in the image buffer for outputting to a laser printer engine via a printer engine interface for reprinting. The printing apparatus allows the print format to be changed easily for efficient reprinting of the last print data in the new format without the need for the host computer to supply the same print data again.
