Abstract:
ABSTRACT When a DSC and PD printer are directly connected via a communication interface, and a recording process in the PD printer is interrupted while transmitting image data from the DSC to the PD printer and recording the image data, the DSC designates the restart of recording process and it is determined whether the type of PD printer is a type capable of restarting recording process. In a case where the type is determined to be the type capable of restarting recording process and a DPOF file is being printed, the DPOF file is resent to designate print from a page next to the printed page. In a mode in which image data are sequentially transmitted to the printer and printed, print process of image data subsequent to the printed image data is designated.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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..
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
A digital camera has a storage medium which stores imagedata 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.
