Abstract
A printing system including an image reading apparatus and a printing apparatus, in which the image reading apparatus has a selection section that selects a page description language that the printing apparatus can interpret, a print data processing section that creates print data by describing image data read by the image reading apparatus in the page description language selected by the selection section, and an output control section that transmits the print data created by the print data processing section to the printing apparatus, and in which the printing apparatus executes a printing process with respect to the image data by receiving the print data transmitted from the output control section and interpreting the page description language within the print data.
Claims16
A printing system comprising an image reading apparatus that converts image data that has been read to print data described by a page description language for transmission, and a printing apparatus that executes a printing process with respect to the image data by receiving the print data from the image reading apparatus and interpreting the page description language within the print data,
- wherein the image reading apparatus comprises:
- an image reading unit that reads image data from an original;
- a selection unit that selects a page description language that the printing apparatus can interpret;
- a print data processing unit that creates print data by describing the image data read by the image reading unit in the page description language selected by selection unit;
- and
- an output control unit that transmits the print data created by the print data processing unit to the printing apparatus,
- wherein the printing apparatus executes the printing process with respect to the image data by receiving the print data transmitted from the output control unit and interpreting the page description language within the print data.
An image reading apparatus that reads image data and transmits the read image data to a printing apparatus to perform a print request, comprising:
- an image reading unit that reads image data from an original;
- a selection unit that selects a page description language that the printing apparatus can interpret;
- a print data processing unit that creates print data by describing the image data read by the image reading unit in the page description language selected by the selection unit;
- and
- an output control unit that transmits the print data created by the print data processing unit to the printing apparatus.
A control method of a printing system comprising an image reading apparatus that converts image data that has been read to print data described by a page description language for transmission, and a printing apparatus that executes a printing process with respect to the image data by receiving the print data from the image reading apparatus and interpreting the page description language within the print data;
- comprising:
- reading, by an image reading unit of the image reading apparatus, data from an original;
- selecting, by a selection unit of the image reading apparatus, the page description language that the printing apparatus can interpret;
- creating, by a print data processing unit of the image reading apparatus, print data by describing the image data that has been read by the image reading unit in the page description language selected by the selection unit;
- transmitting, by an output control unit of the image reading apparatus, the print data created by the print data processing unit to the printing apparatus;
- and
- executing, by the printing apparatus, a printing process with respect to the image data by receiving the print data transmitted from the output control unit and interpreting the page description language within the print data.
