Abstract
A method of printing with an automatic replacement includes the steps of specifying a memory; setting a sheet of paper on which a character group stored in the memory specified has been printed, to a printer having a carrier; inputting a search text and a replacement text and storing them; retrieving the character group from the head of characters to the end one character after another to recognize whether the character group has an element identical with the search text; calculating a position on said printed sheet each time the retrieving is performed; moving the carrier to the position calculated when the character group has an element identical with the search text; erasing a part where the element identical with the search text is printed on the printed sheet; and printing the replacement text in a blank from which the element has been erased without changing the contents of the memory.
