Abstract
To provide a printer which reduces a waiting time when each character is to be printed with two colors, and hence which can operate highly efficiently for the user. When a command for specifying a first color is received from a host computer, the specified color is stored in a first color storage area. When a command for specifying a second color is received from the host computer, the specified color is stored in a second color storage area. When character data are received, if the drawing method indicates the filling of the character specified by the character data, then the character is filled with the first color, and if the drawing method indicates the outlining of the character, then the character is outlined with the second color.
