Abstract
An interface system for receiving from a host computer a series of dot data as print information, and converting the received data to dot information and for providing the same to a printing system. The interface system has a pseudofont memory in which dot information is stored as column vectors obtained by matrix-transposing row vectors of several series of dot data in advance and a bit map memory in which dot information corresponding to the received serial dot data is stored. For a printing operation, the dot information in the bit map memory is transferred therefrom in a page-by-page unit.
