Abstract
A method of transferring recording data to a recording device for preventing the slowdown of effective recording speed by determining beforehand the available memory capacity of an input device and by transferring the recording data in an optimum manner to the recording device. The available memory capacity of an input device 1 is determined. When the available memory capacity of the input device 1 is sufficient enough to store the recording data of one cycle by the recording head, the recording data of one cycle is transferred to the recording device 2 on a recording cycle basis. When the available memory capacity of the input device 1 is not sufficient enough to store the recording data of one cycle by the recording head, the recording data is transferred to the recording device 2 on an element-by-element basis.
