Abstract
On the basis of a received print data, a control code in the print data is analyzed to determine the print control program of a suitable command system. The print data is subjected to a processing using the print control program. The processed data is converted to dot pattern data that is usable by print control programs of different kinds of command systems and stored in a non-volatile memory. Thereafter, the stored dot pattern data is printed. Through this operation, in a printing apparatus having plural print control programs of different command systems, not only received print data, but also print data stored in the non-volatile memory can be printed using a suitable print control program.
