Abstract
An imaging apparatus capable of outputting a sensed image to a printing apparatus determines the type of PD printer apparatus connected via an interface, and selects the type of image data to be output to the PD printer apparatus on the basis of the determination result. The imaging apparatus directly transmits a JPEG code for a predetermined PD printer apparatus, or decodes and transmits the JPEG code for another printer apparatus.
Claims22
An imaging apparatus capable of outputting a sensed image to a printing apparatus, comprising:
- determination means for determining a type of the printing apparatus connected via an interface;
- and
- change means for selecting a type of image data to be output to the printing apparatus on the basis of a result determined by said determination means.
A control method in an imaging apparatus capable of outputting a sensed image to a printing apparatus, comprising:
- a determination step of determining a type of the printing apparatus connected via an interface;
- and
- a change step of changing a format of image data to be output to the printing apparatus on the basis of a result determined in said determination step.
A system having an imaging apparatus for outputting a sensed image, and a printing apparatus connected to the imaging apparatus via an interface,
- the imaging apparatus comprising:
- decoding means for decoding a JPEG code, and
- the imaging apparatus comprising:
- determination means for determining a type of the printing apparatus connected via the interface;
- and
- transmission means for transmitting image data of a JPEG code to the printing apparatus on the basis of a result determined by said determination means.
