Abstract
Defining information for defining the condition for adding background colors is previously stored in a condition storage area, and a spreadsheet form is registered in a form storage area. Alphanumeric character data to be written in a cell of a spreadsheet are stored in a record storage area. When a CPU is instructed to start printing, the CPU outputs the alphanumeric character data as output data to a data value decision section. The data value decision section reads the output data and determines a background color in accordance with the read output data to prepare a print record to which color information is added. A printer control section prepares print data to which the background color is added in accordance with the color information for the print record and the spreadsheet form registered in the form storage area.
