Printer with a diversified printed output and control method of a printer

A printer comprising:

• a print head configured to print an image on a print medium;
• a communicator that receives a print command including a font command and character data, the font command specifying a font type and the character data specifying characters;
• storage that stores font data in a font table and relational information, the relational information indicating a relationship between the font type and a specific process corresponding to the font type;
• and
• a controller that
• controls the communicator to receive the print command including the font command and the character data,
• acquires, from the font table for the font type specified according to the font command, the font data for the characters specified by the character data in the print command,
• generates print data by applying, to the acquired font data, the specific process corresponding to the font type specified by the font command according to the relational information, and
• controls the print head based on the generated print data to print on the print medium,
• wherein
• the print head can print in color,
• the relational information indicates a relationship between the font type and a color corresponding to the font type,
• the specific process includes a process of colorizing the font data, and
• the font data applied by the specific process is printed in the color corresponding to the font type.

A print data generating method of generating print data including font data as print data processed by a printer, comprising:

• a step of receiving a print command including a font command and character data, the font command specifying a font type and the character data specifying characters;
• a step of acquiring, from a font table for the font type specified according to the font command, the font data for the characters specified by the character data in the print command, wherein storage stores font data in the font table and relational information, the relational information indicating a relationship between the font type and a specific process corresponding to the font type;
• and
• a step of applying to the acquired font data a specific process corresponding to the font type specified by the font command according to the relational information,
• wherein:
• the printer that processes the print data can print in color,
• the relational information indicates a relationship between the font type and a color corresponding to the font type,
• the specific process includes a process of colorizing the font data, and
• the font data applied by the specific process is printed in the color corresponding to the font type.
