Abstract
A print image is stored in a frame memory. A CPU combines form data and non-form data and develops a resultant synthetic image in the frame memory, thereby obtaining the print image. The CPU sequentially develops only non-form data in a previously set area of the image memory after form data has been developed without erasing the developed form data until the form data is subjected to change. Thus, new print images are sequentially obtained by sequentialy developing new non-form data with the form data developed only once. A printer prints a print image stored in the image memory. The image of the form data developed in the image memory is held until an instruction is issued to change the form data.
