    摘要: A printer server connectable to a plurality of printers includes a receiver for receiving print data from an external apparatus, a first discrimination unit for discriminating a representation by which the received print data is described, and a selection unit for selecting, from the plurality of printers, a printer to print an image corresponding to the received print data. A second discrimination unit of the printer server discriminates whether the selected printer is capable of processing print data in the discriminated representation. When the selected printer is not capable of processing print data in the discriminated representation, a controller of the printer sever converts the received print data into print data in another representation and transmits the print data in the other representation. The controller transmits print data in the discriminated representation when the selected printer is capable of processing print data in the discriminated representation. The apparatus also includes a status receiver for receiving, from the selected printer, status information indicating that transmitting print data has been printed normally. A status sending unit of the apparatus sends the status information to the external apparatus.

    摘要: A variety of parameters for a scanner printer are set from a host computer on a network by arranging a scanner printer server system composed of the host computer and the scanner printer server connected to the network, and a scanner and a printer connected to the scanner printer. The scanner printer server system has a bidirectional communication channel formed between the scanner, the printer and the scanner printer server, wherein characters, graphics and a method of transferring image are instructed from the host computer and the data is transferred by the instructed transference method.
