Abstract
An image output control apparatus includes a recognition unit for recognizing mounting of a recording medium, a reading unit for reading image-reproduction instruction data recorded in the recording medium based on the recognition of the mounting, and a generation unit for performing image generation for output by selectively reading necessary image data from the information recording medium in accordance with the image-reproduction instruction data.
Claims22
A print control apparatus, comprising:
- an accessing unit configured to access a recording medium, the recording medium storing a plurality of printable image files and a print instruction file containing print instruction information including a file name specifying an image file, which has been manually selected for printing from among the plurality of printable image files stored in the recording medium;
- a print control unit configured to control to automatically read and print a plurality of printable image files from the recording medium, wherein the plurality of image files are specified by the print instruction information in the print instruction file;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not data of a particular image file specified by the print instruction information is recorded on the recording medium,
- wherein, in a case where the determining unit determines that the data of the particular image file specified by the print instruction information is not recorded in the recording medium even though the particular image file has been manually selected for printing from among the plurality of printable image files stored in the recording medium and the particular image file is specified by the print instruction information for printing, because the particular image file has been deleted due to an operation by a user, reading and printing of the data of the particular image file is not performed, and data of a next image file specified by the print instruction information is read and printed.
