Abstract
A dot pattern is generated by using scalable font data on the basis of received print data, and then printed. One scalable font set corresponds to two kinds of dot pattern generating modes. One generates a dot pattern with quality being given precedence, and the other generates a dot pattern with speed being given precedence and for printing at high speed, though quality inferior. The two modes are switchable to perform printing to fit user's needs.
