Information processing device and information processing method

A data processing system comprising:

• a first data processing apparatus for rasterizing data in PDL (page description language), said first data processing apparatus comprising:
• first input means for inputting data from an external source;
• first rasterizing means having a function of rasterizing data described in at least one kind of PDL;
• determining means for determining whether a kind of PDL describing the data input by said first input means in included in the at least one kind of PDL;
• and
• controlling means for causing the data input to the first input means to be sent to a second data processing apparatus and for causing the second data processing apparatus to rasterize the input data when said determining means determines that the kind of PDL describing the input data is not included in the at least one kind of PDL;
• said second data processing apparatus, connected to said first data processing apparatus, for rasterizing data in PDL, said second data processing apparatus comprising:
• second input means for inputting data from said first data processing apparatus;
• and
• second rasterizing means having a function of rasterizing data described in the kind of PDL describing the data input by said first input means.
