Abstract
A serial printer with a dot print head which prints print data produced in accordance with a page describing language. In this serial printer, it is judged whether or not character data is included in the print data and, if included, whether or not character data printable by the dot print head in a single scanning stroke exists in the character data previously judged, whereby the character data non-printable in a single scanning stroke of the head is printed similarly to graphic data included in the print data after being converted into image data, and the character data printable in a single scanning stroke of the head is printed independently of graphic data. Consequently, the character data can be printed without displacement of dots according to print ability of the dot print head and excellent print quality of the characters can be obtained.
