Raster scan type printer

Abstract

Abstract A raster scan type printer comprises a memory (14,16,22) for storing a plurality of dot data representing characters to be printed on a printing paper, a memory controller (21) for sequentially reading out one scan data for one scanning operation from the memory in the order of scanning, and a scanner for performing scanning operation each time in response to the one scan data. The memory comprises a first storage section (14) for storing said plural dot data, a second storage section (16,22) for storing a specific one scan data which is read out from the first storage section and then transferred to the scanner for specific one scanning operation. A fresh dot data is stored in the first storage section at the same time the specific one scan data is sent to the scanner.
