摘要:
An image forming system includes an electronic device and image forming device. The electronic device has a recording unit for recording a target image together with a recording condition of the target image and an output unit for outputting an image and a recording condition recorded by the recording unit. The image forming device has a requesting unit for requesting the electronic device to output an image to be formed and an image forming unit for applying an image processing to an image output by the output unit responsive to a request by the requesting unit. The requesting unit controls a quality of an image that the image forming device requests the electronic device to output in conformity with the recording condition and an image forming condition.

According to the invention, a power supply for an image sensing device is obtained from a printer to prevent consumption of the battery. When the image sensing device is connected to the printer, a power management unit checks if electric power can be supplied from the printer. When electric power can be supplied from the printer, the power management unit switches the power supply from the battery to a power supply receiving/supplying unit that receives electric power from the printer. In this case, if the remaining capacity on the battery is small, the battery is charged by electric power from the printer. Also, the luminance of a display unit is increased, or the operation frequency of a control unit is raised. On the other hand, when electric power cannot be supplied from the printer, the power management unit switches the power supply to the battery. In this case, the power management unit reduces consumption power by decreasing the luminance of the display unit or reducing the operation frequency of the control unit.

In a system to which a plurality of devices are connected, each device has heretofore required a connector for an AC adapter and a connector for a signal line. Further, in order to arrange it so that the amount of power supplied to the overall system will not exceed a limit value, it has been required to adjust the amount of power during system use by turning the power source of each device on or off. According to the present invention, a signal line for data transfer and a power line for supply of power in a system connecting a plurality of devices are consolidated in a single cable to make it possible to connect both lines to one connector of each device. The power controller of a certain device acquires the properties of a plurality of devices connected to this device, decides the optimum power distribution and controls the power controllers of each of the other devices.

When printing data is to be printed, the number of simultaneously driven printing elements of a plurality of printing elements of a printhead is discriminated. On the basis of the number of simultaneously driven printing elements discriminated and a fundamental pulse width changeably, determined on the basis of driving conditions of the printhead, a driving pulse to be applied to printing elements used in the printing of the printing data is controlled.

When an image is sensed by a digital camera, image additional information as the image sensing conditions is stored together with the sensed image information. Also, information unique to that digital camera is stored together with the image additional information. The digital camera is connected to a printer by, e.g., an IEEE1394 I/F. The printer stores printing control information as various combinations of unique information such as its printing method, the types of ink, paper, and the like, print quality and print speed, and processing technique such as masking. In response to a print instruction, the printer reads the image information and image additional information from the digital camera, and selects the printing control information in accordance with the read information and the set printing mode. The printer prints an image using the selected printing control information.

An imaging apparatus which outputs image data to be processed by an image processing apparatus. The imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, a storage, and a communication unit. The image acquiring unit is adapted to acquire image data from an image storing medium. The storage is adapted to store information of an image processing condition suited to the image processing apparatus. The information is usable to control image processing for the image data acquired by the image acquiring unit. The communication unit is adapted to communicate with the image processing apparatus to transmit the image data and the information of an image processing condition.

In a printing apparatus communicating with an image data output device, a comparison unit compares a resolution of an image to be printed with a capability of the printer based upon image additional information, a request unit requests low quality image data corresponding to the image to be printed of the image data output device in accordance with a result of a comparison in the comparison unit, a determination unit determines a size of the image to be printed, and a second request unit requests image additional information, regarding the low quality image data corresponding to the image to be printed, of the image data output device in accordance with the size of the image to be printed. A printing method and a computer readable medium storing program code for causing a computer to perform the steps of the method are also provided.

Simple manual management and easy use are aimed for a system having a printer and an external apparatus such as a digital camera connectable thereto. This aim can be achieved by storing the contents of a manual, an error countermeasure corresponding to an error code and the like respectively of the external apparatus in a memory of the printer or external apparatus in the form of text and by printing out a necessary portion of the contents stored in the memory when necessary such as when a user requests and when an error is detected.
