Abstract
A printer includes an intermediate buffer that holds plain data produced by subjecting print data to extraction processing and microweave processing, and a control buffer that holds head control data produced by subjecting plain data to vertical-horizontal conversion processing. The control buffer is allocated storage capacity that allows it to hold data equivalent to one impression and data equivalent to one-fourth an impression (one pass in printing at four passes per impression).
