Abstract

PURPOSE:To conserve printing data for the dot space for a blank, by forming X- and Y-coordinates according to the inputted size data if paper when graphic picture copy containing a large number of blank parts is printed on a personal computer and performing the control of a printing position on the basis of the values of X and Y. CONSTITUTION:A printing command is delivered from a personal computer (step 1). The size data of paper inputted according to the printing order is obtained (step 2) and X- and Y-coordinates are formed on the basis of the obtained paper size (step 3). Preliminarily inputted printing data are set to the X- and Y-coordinates, that is, a position is controlled (step 4) and the printing control code of a printer is set (step 5) and data are sent to the printer (step 6).
