Abstract: A reduced-layout display apparatus includes a clear section, a boundary pattern developing section, a print data developing section, a buffer section, and a display section. The clear section clears pattern data in a display buffer in response to setting of a print image display mode. The boundary pattern developing section develops boundary pattern data corresponding to a boundary pattern indicating a paper size capable of printing in the buffer section at a predetermined reduction ratio. A print image pattern corresponding print data is reduced at the reduction ratio by the print data developing section, and the reduced print image pattern data is also developed in the buffer section. The reduced-layout display apparatus can comprise a clipping range detecting section for detecting a range of print data to be developed. Even when a screen of the display section has a limited size, the print image can be displayed using a plurality of frames.
