Information processing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a printing device, comprising:

• a determination unit configured to determine a type of content of image data to be printed by the printing device;
• an image processing unit configured to execute image processing corresponding to the content of the image data determined by the determination unit;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing;
• and
• a first acquisition unit configured to acquire, before executing the image processing by the image processing unit, a first transfer rate with respect to the printing device and a requested transfer rate required by a print operation of a print unit of the printing device,
• wherein the type of content includes at least one of a document and a photo,
• if the type of content determined by the determination unit is the document, the image processing unit changes a setting of a tone count to execute the image processing, and if the type of content determined by the determination unit is the photo, the image processing unit changes a setting of a resolution to execute the image processing, and
• the transmission unit transmits, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing.

A method comprising:

• executing, for image data to be printed by a printing device, image processing corresponding to a content of the image data;
• transmitting, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing;
• acquiring, before executing the image processing, a first transfer rate with respect to the printing device and a requested transfer rate required by a print operation of a print unit of the printing device;
• attempting image processing for the image data;
• and
• acquiring, based on the first transfer rate and information of image data obtained after the attempt, a second transfer rate required by transmission, to the printing device, of the image data obtained after the attempt and the print operation of the print unit,
• wherein if the second transfer rate satisfies a condition of the requested transfer rate, the attempted image processing is executed for the image data, and image data obtained after executing the image processing is transmitted to the printing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer to function to:

• execute, for image data to be printed by a printing device, image processing corresponding to a content of the image data;
• transmit, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing;
• acquire, before executing the image processing, a first transfer rate with respect to the printing device and a requested transfer rate required by a print operation of a print unit of the printing device;
• attempt image processing for the image data;
• acquire, based on the first transfer rate and information of image data obtained after the attempt, a second transfer rate required by transmission, to the printing device, of the image data obtained after the attempt and the print operation of the print unit;
• and
• execute, if the second transfer rate satisfies a condition of the requested transfer rate, the attempted image processing for the image data, and transmit, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing.
