Abstract
A printer with a frame-printing function can automatically print out a frame with horizontal lines and vertical lines well-conformed to each other. The memory device of the printer stores externally input format data including data of line spacing, data of vertical line positions, and data of the number of horizontal lines. Based on these format data, the horizontal lines are printed first, and then the vertical lines are printed, so that the bottom end of each vertical line touches the bottom horizontal line without going beyond it.
