Abstract:
1. A document processor, comprising: a data memory unit which retains character data concerning a character to be printed on a printing material; a mode setting device which sets a definite length mode for specifying a definite length printing area where the character is printed on the printing material; an area judging unit which judges whether a character printing area necessary for standard printing of an image corresponding to the character data on the printing material exceeds the definite length printing area; and a printing data processing unit which creates corrected image data corresponding to a corrected printing image produced by thinning out the image corresponding to the character data in a printing direction to perform a compressive conversion process for fitting the character printing area to the definite length printing area when the area judging unit judges that the character printing area exceeds the definite length printing area; wherein the printing data processing unit thins out the character data at equal intervals to perform the compressive conversion process.
