In the invention, already produced input data includes information on the input character string already transferred to a print medium. Pieces of already produced input data are stored so that the number of pieces of already produced input data is not more than the upper limit number. In a series of processes starting from a direction for producing the print medium, the storage of the already produced input data is performed in the case of the first transfer for the input character string which is currently transferred.
