ABSTRACT:
In a serial printer in which character patterns for one line are image-developed in a line buffer and are printed, when the number of dots along a subscanning direction of a dot pattern obtained by expanding a standard character exceeds that of a printing head along the subscanning direction, the expanded character pattern is divided into a plurality of zones along a scanning direction, and the dot pattern for each zone is image-developed in the line buffer. Since a relative distance between a development start position and a printing head position for each character in one line is stored in advance, if character patterns are sequentially image-developed from one having a smaller relative distance, a character string including different dot structures can be printed in a desired format.
