摘要:
A dot pattern is generated by using scalable font data on the basis of received print data, and then printed. One scalable font set corresponds to two kinds of dot pattern generating modes. One generates a dot pattern with quality being given precedence, and the other generates a dot pattern with speed being given precedence and for printing at high speed, though quality inferior. The two modes are switchable to perform printing to fit user's needs.

A recording apparatus (111) includes a receiving unit (112) for receiving an image signal sent from an external apparatus (110), and a recording unit (104) for performing a recording operation in accordance with the image signal received by the receiving unit. The receiving unit includes a clock signal generating unit (82) for generating a clock signal used when receiving the image signal; and includes a first reception mode where the image signal is received without using the clock signal and a second reception mode where the image signal is received by using the clock signal. The receiving unit may include a first reception mode where the image signal is received by using a clock signal (on 80) sent from the external apparatus and a second reception mode where the image signal is received without using the clock signal. The receiving unit may include a clock signal generating unit for generating a clock signal used when receiving the image signal, a first reception mode where the image signal is received in accordance with the clock signal sent from the external apparatus and a second reception mode where the image signal is received by sending the clock signal generated by the clock signal generating unit to the external apparatus.
摘要:
Binary data (VDO) developed to a dot pattern are sequentially stored in line memories (1 - 9). A processing circuit (43) is constituted by a logic calculation circuit, and determines an edge portion of an image or a halftone image on the basis of 11 x 9 pixel data in shift registers (34 - 43). When the edge portion of an image is determined, data of a pixel of interest is converted to data that can print a smooth edge portion. Changed data (VDOM) is converted again according to the type of toner. The converted signal is supplied to a laser driver of a printer, and a printing operation is performed by scanning a laser. A resolution setting unit (1700) receives a resolution setting command from an external apparatus (1300), and sets a designated resolution in a printer (1200) according to the resolution setting command. The resolution setting unit (1700) divides one pixel into an optimal number of pixel sections on the basis of the designated resolution, and sets a logic circuit for performing optimal smoothing processing for divided data in a smoothing unit (1018). Bit map development based on code data supplied from the external apparatus (1300), and smoothing processing according to a smoothing logic are performed.
