Abstract

A pattern generating device includes a deciding unit, a registration control unit, and an output unit. The deciding unit decides either that form information in a code data format input externally is registered in a code data format, or that a form pattern which is created from the form information in the code data format is registered, based on form registration designation information. The registration control unit registers the form information into a memory unit when the deciding unit decides that the form information is instructed to register in the code data format, and creates a form pattern from the form information and then registers the same into the memory unit when the deciding unit decides that it is instructed to create the form pattern from the form information and to register the same. The output control unit creates a form pattern based on the form information in the code data format registered in the memory unit, superimposes the form pattern with the output pattern, and then outputs the result, or it superimposes the form information registered in the memory unit with the output pattern and outputs the result, when the output pattern created based on input data i…
