Abstract
A printer driver (which can be software) converts printing data into a data code and compares a quantity of the data code with a storage capacity of a memory prepared in a printer. If the quantity of the data code exceeds the storage capacity of the memory, then the data code is converted into bit map data that can be processed at a print engine of the printer. As the result of the comparison, if the quantity of the data code does not exceed the storage capacity of the memory, then the data code is transmitted to the printer. If the quantity of the data code exceed the storage capacity of the memory, then the bit map data is transmitted to the printer.
