Method and apparatus for printing data with predetermined format using bluetooth communication, and method of storing template data

An apparatus to print data having a predetermined format, the apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit to receive data having the predetermined format from a terminal device using Bluetooth communication;
• a storage unit to store template data corresponding to the terminal device;
• a printing data generator to combine the received data having the predetermined format with the stored template data and to generate print data using the combined data;
• and
• a printing unit to print the generated print data.

A method of storing template data, the method comprising:

• receiving combination data, including data having a predetermined format and template data from a terminal device, using Bluetooth communication;
• extracting the template data from the received combination data;
• mapping the extracted template data with identification information of the terminal device;
• and
• storing the extracted template data.

A method of printing data in a uniform fashion regardless of where the data is printed, the method comprising:

• receiving data having a predetermined format from a terminal device;
• retrieving stored template data corresponding to the predetermined format and the terminal device;
• combining the data having the predetermined format with the stored template data;
• and
• printing the combined data and stored template data.

A printing system comprising:

• a printing apparatus to receive data having a predetermined format, to extract stored template data corresponding to the predetermined data, to combine the data with the stored template data, and to print the combined data;
• and
• a terminal device to transmit the data having a predetermined format to the printing apparatus;
• wherein the stored template data has an identifier corresponding to the terminal device.
