Abstract
A data input device fetches print data containing raster image data, which has been formed by a computer, and first resolution data, which represents resolution of the raster image data having been formed by the computer. A printer resolution reading device reads second resolution data representing resolution, with which a stencil printer can print, from the stencil printer. A resolution converting device carries out resolution conversion for converting the raster image data, which is contained in the print data having been fetched by the data input device, into raster image data having the resolution, with which the stencil printer can print, in accordance with the first resolution data and the second resolution data. A data output device forms output data in accordance with the raster image data having been obtained from the resolution conversion and feeds the output data into the stencil printer.
