摘要:
There is provided a print system for transmitting and receiving a data object by a PTP between a camera-equipped mobile phone (CP) and a PD printer and printing an image by the PD printer according to image data supplied from the CP. First information indicating presence/absence of the direct print function capable of printing by transmitting image data from the CP directly to the PD printer and second information indicating presence/absence of the cooperated processing function with the CP and the PD printer are embedded in a data object which is transmitted and received. When it is judged that the received object contains the first and the second information, the CP and the printer are set to the direct print function and the cooperated processing function mode.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method for formation of high quality image by high-speed error diffusion processing by execution of more complicated threshold condition processing in a simple manner. When error diffusion processing is performed on multivalued image data having plural density components and the result of processing is outputted, upon execution of error diffusion processing on a first density component among the plural density components, a threshold value used in the error diffusion processing is determined based on a density value of a second density component, then the error diffusion processing is performed on the first density component based on the determined threshold value, and the result of execution of the error diffusion processing is outputted. Further, upon execution of the error diffusion processing on the second density component among the plural density components, a threshold value used in the error diffusion processing is determined based on a density value of the first density component, then the error diffusion processing is performed on the second density component based on the determined threshold value, and the result of the error diffusion processing is outputted.
摘要:
When a print command that designates a layout recording function by its upper layer, and designates a frame print function by its lower layer is transmitted from a camera to a printer, the printer determines a layout print function that prints a plurality of images on a single sheet, based on the upper layer. In a case where the printer can determine the lower layer of the command, the printer acquires details of a layout. In a case where the printer cannot determine the lower layer of the command, the printer determines a normal frame print function. The printer prints a normal layout image or special frame image in accordance with the determined layout of images.

A DSC 1 (3012) and a DSC 2 (2012) are connected with each other via an interface different from that of a photo-direct printer 1000. When the job controller 1023 receives a job from the DSC 1 or DSC 2, it stores printing information, which is information on the job, and information on a source of the job, in a queuing buffer 1024 associated with each other. The job controller 1023 can accept printing information from the DSC 1 or the DSC 2 in parallel with a printing process. The job controller 1023 can also perform a canceling process of a job queued by using information on a source.

According to this invention, an intended image is transferred and printed even in a system which transfers image data by a handle upon reception of a print request list described by the file name of an image. In order to realize this, according to this invention, when a DPOF print request file which describes an image to be printed by the file name of the image exists in the memory card of a digital camera (3012) serving as an image supply side, a new file in which the file name in the print request file is replaced by a handle is generated and transmitted to a printer (1000).
摘要:
A printer that prints an image having a resolution higher than a resolution of nozzles on a print head on a recording medium by scanning the print head across a region of the recording medium a plural-number of times, said print head having nozzles spaced at a nozzle pitch which is a reciprocal number of the resolution of the nozzles and adapted to eject ink from the nozzles on the basis of print data. The printer has a line feeding motor that is actuated in a unit of a pulse, and a line feeding device, driven by the line feeding motor actuated in the unit of the pulse, for feeding the recording medium in a unit of a predetermined feeding length fed by an actuating pulse, the predetermined feeding length being (m/k×nozzle pitch), where k is the resolution of the printed image/the resolution of the nozzles, m and k are integers, and m is greater than k but indivisible by k. A controller controls the line feeding motor to actuate in the unit of the pulse and control a number of the nozzles utilized for printing the image when printing an image on the recording medium by scanning the print head across the recording medium a plural-number of times.
摘要:
A printer having at least first and second print heads, each with independently controllable print resolution, controllably prints text data with a first resolution and non-text data with a second resolution. Preferably, the printer is comprised by first and second ink jet print heads which eject ink droplets through plural nozzles based on digital data stored in a print buffer. Resolution is controlled by controlling ink droplet size, nozzle ejection sequence, and readout order from the print buffer, all with droplet size, ejection sequence and readout order being controlled independently for each print head. A user interface allows a user to control resolution of text and non-text data independently.
摘要:
Pixel data are processed in digital color printing, by mapping a multi-value input intensity value for a color to be printed into a multi-value first quantity level for a first ink which is the color to be printed, the first ink having a first density. The input intensity value corresponding to the color to be printed is also mapped into a multi-value second quantity level for a second ink which is the color to be printed, the second ink having a second density which is greater than the first density. A four-position binary dot pattern is then generated for the first and second inks based on the first and second quantity levels. During the mapping, the first quantity level is limited to a value which would result in causing not more than two dots in the four-position binary dot pattern to be generated for the first ink.
