Abstract
In order that print data edited by a host computer may be printed out by means of a printer having a shorter printing width than the length of the character line thereof, the edited print data is converted into a print pattern in an arrangement which is rotated by 90 degrees. This conversion is conducted by determining the coordinate positions of dots when the edited data is converted into a print pattern without being rotated, by rotating the coordinate positions by 90 degrees to determine the addresses of the rotated coordinate positions, and by writing these positions in the addresses of a page memory for writing the print pattern for one page. The print pattern is read in the order of the addresses out of the page memory and is fed to a printer.
