A printer control apparatus performs printing control while converting print density within a page, to convert print density at low cost without changing the print resource. The apparatus includes a detecting unit for detecting a bar code pattern for which density should be converted from the bit map data, and the expanding unit for changing the number of data expansion dots according to the detection result. Since the print density of a specified pattern in a page can be changed from the print density of the other area, the present invention can be implemented without changing the print assets and command system at the host side, and without changing bit map expansion processing and bit map expansion density of the printer controller.
