ABSTRACT A printing system in which a DSC and a PD printer are directly connected to each other via a general interface, image data is transmitted from the DSC to the PD printer, and the data is printed, wherein the number of offset bytes and a data amount of the image data are designated from a print controller to a storage controller to specify partial image data, the storage controller reads the partial image data from the storage device of the DSC based on the specification, the partial image data is supplied to a print controller of the PD printer, and printing is performed.

An adaptor which mediates between an image supply device and a printer causes the printer to print by selecting either of the first operation mode in which image data from the image supply device is received by wireless communication and before the completion of receiving the image data, a print job is issued to the printer by wired communication, and the second operation mode in which image data from the image supply device is received by wireless communication and after the completion of receiving the image data, a print job is issued to the printer by wired communication.

A photo-direct printer apparatus which prints an image on the basis of image data from a digital camera, memory card, or PC serving as an image data source receives a control command from the image data source, interprets the control command, and receives image data from the image data source on the basis of the command. The printer apparatus decodes and processes the received image data, and generates and prints print data and print an image based on the print data.

A user interface for high-quality image output and an image processing apparatus utilizing the user interface which performs apparatus setting for appropriate printing by selecting a print medium and a print mode in accordance with the type of ink cartridge. When an exchangeable ink cartridge, containing YMCK color ink or ink having different ink densities from those of the YMCK color ink in approximately the same color hues, is attached to a printer, the type of the ink cartridge is discriminated by an ink cartridge ID, and available print media and appropriate output image types are displayed for user's selection based on the ID. Then print operation is set in accordance with instruction by the user.

An image output system wherein at least three devices are server-client-connected via general-purpose interfaces and wherein data are transferred among these devices to output images. A DSC acts as a client of a storage device and that of a printer. A list request for an image file stored in the storage device is transmitted from the DSC to the storage device. In accordance with the list request, the list data of the image file with the list request identification (ID) added thereto is transmitted to the DSC. Then, if the printer is instructed by the DSC to perform a printing, the storage device is requested for the image data of an image as instructed together with the identification (ID), whereby the image data is acquired from the storage device, which is a client, to output the image.

In a recording system in which a DSC and PD printer are directly connected via a communication interface, and image data is transmitted from the DSC to the PD printer and recorded, it is determined whether predetermined status information is received from the PD printer within a predetermined time period after the DSC issues a predetermined command to the PD printer. If it is determined that the predetermined status information is not received, the status is determined to be one estimated from a normal process, and a process continues. To confirm the status of the PD printer, the DSC requests status information of the PD printer, and acquires the statusof the PD printer on the basis of the status information sent back in response to the request..
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for ink jet printing use a print head including a first nozzle group for discharging a first ink, a second nozzle group for discharging a second ink and a third nozzle group for discharging a printability improving solution. The third nozzle group is displaced between the first nozzle group and the second nozzle group. The first nozzle group discharges the first ink on the printing medium based on image data to form an image, the third nozzle group discharges the printability improving solution on the image formed on the printing medium by means of another step, and the second nozzle group discharges the second ink on the image formed on the printing medium. The printability improving solution has higher penetrability into the printing medium compared to the ink. The method and apparatus can attain a clear colored, high density image without color mixing, which has high water resistance on plain paper, with a low running cost.

A digital camera has a storage medium which stores image data and a DPOF associated with a print process of the image data, acquires information associated with the function of a printer upon connection of that printer, sets a CDPS job command associated with the print process of the image data on the basis of the acquired information associated with the functions, sets a print condition for the printer on the basis of the DPOF and CDPS command, and sends a print instruction. The printer acquires image data stored in the storage medium in accordance with the designated print condition and prints the image data.

In a case where a digital camera cannot understand or recognize a request received from a printer, the camera ignores the received request and discards the received request, and transmits a command that does not include any user instruction or print operation to the printer in place of the correct response to the request. In such case, the printer receives the command as the response to the request, and recognizes that the request transmitted by the printer cannot be accepted by the camera.
