Abstract
On the side of a microcomputer for creating image data, a unique code for showing the page alignment is added to the created image data, and on the printer device side, the unique code is detected independently from the ordinary data analysis. The unique code is constituted by a sequence of a predetermined number or more of identical data of one or more bytes. Based on the results of detection of the unique code, page control and recovery process are executed.
Claims18
A page alignment indication method in a printer system for transferring data to a printer device from a data creation device and printing the transferred data, comprising the steps of:
- creating transfer data to be transferred from the data creation device to the printer device;
- and
- inserting a page alignment code formed by connecting a predetermined number or more of identical data of one or more bytes of the kind that can never occur in a printer system;
- in the transfer data.
A page control method in a printer system for transferring data to a printer device from a data creation device and printing the transferred data, comprising the steps of:
- inserting a page alignment code formed by connecting a predetermined number or more of identical data of one or more bytes of the kind that can never occur in a printer system, in data to be transferred from the data creation device to the printer device;
- detecting the inserted page alignment code;
- and
- performing a page control based on the detected page alignment code.
A printer system for transferring data created by a data creation device to a printer device to print, comprising:
- a data creation device for creating data;
- and
- a printer device which is to receive the data created by said data creation device and print the transferred data,
- wherein said data creation device comprises means for inserting a code to show the page alignment in the created data, and said printer device comprises detection means for detecting the code independently from the analysis process of the created data.
A printer device for printing data transferred from a data creation device, comprising:
- means for analyzing the data created by said data creation device;
- and
- detection means for detecting, independently from the analysis process of the created data, a code to show the page alignment inserted in the created data.
