Abstract:
A print data editing device includes a controller configured to performs acquiring print data, and converting the print data. The converting includes determining, as a conversion sub-dot, one or more of sub-dots included in a sub-line for each of all sub-lines constituting one line within printing areas in an image represented by the print data, and editing the print data such that the print data indicates OFF for the one or more sub-dots determined as the conversion sub-dot. Each sub-line is constituted by the sub-dots. The sub-dot is a printing unit obtained by dividing a dot into M parts in a sub-scanning direction, where M is an integer of two or greater. The sub-dot for which the print data indicates ON is a printing area. The sub-dot for which the print data indicates OFF is a non-printing area. An area outside a printing region is also the non-printing area.
