Abstract
An output apparatus which produces the print output by saving in a first memory print data input via a two-way interface, and converting the print data into the print out information, comprising a second memory different from the first memory for saving the print data with a print ID number added which is input via the interface, a retrieving unit for retrieving corresponding print data of the second memory based on a print ID number input from the outside, and an output unit for outputting the retrieved print data converted into the print out information.
Claims14
An output apparatus which produces the print output by saving in first memory means print data which is input via a two-way interface, and converting said print data into the print out information, comprising:
- second memory means which is different from said first memory means for memorizing said print data with a print ID number added which is input via said interface;
- retrieving means for retrieving corresponding print data of said second memory means, based on a print ID number which is input from the outside;
- and
- output means for outputting said retrieved print data which is converted into the print out information.
An output method of an output apparatus which produces the print output by saving in first memory means print data which is input via a two-way interface, and converting said print data into the print out information, comprising the steps of:
- inputting print data with a print ID number added via said interface;
- memorizing said print data in second memory means which is different from said first memory means;
- retrieving corresponding print data of said second memory means based on a print ID number which is input from the outside;
- and
- outputting said retrieved print data which is converted into the print out information.
An output method according to cliam 8, wherein said print data is compressed and saved with a print ID number added in a leader section of said each media in a common recording format or common compression format, and has an area distinguishing/recognizing signal inserted which is different from other information signal at least before and after a print data area.
