Abstract
A printing apparatus connectable to a recording apparatus that records data on a recording medium. An obtaining unit, when the printing apparatus is connected to the recording apparatus, obtains, from the recording apparatus, attribute information regarding data recordable on the recording medium. A printing unit prints in a printable area of the recording medium using the attribute information. An identifier reading unit reads, from the recording medium, an identifier capable of individually identifying the recording medium. A management unit manages the attribute information associated with the identifier.
Claims5
A recording apparatus that is connectable to a printing apparatus for managing attribute information regarding data recordable on a recording medium, associated with an identifier that is added to the recording medium and enables individually identifying the recording medium, the recording apparatus comprising:
- (i) a reading unit adapted to read the identifier from the recording medium;
- (ii) a transmission requesting unit adapted to request the printing apparatus to transmit first attribute information being managed associated with the identifier;
- (iii) an obtaining unit adapted, when the first attribute information is received from the printing apparatus in response to the request, to obtain data corresponding to the received first attribute information among data stored in a data storage unit;
- and
- (iv) a recording unit adapted to record the obtained data on the recording medium.
A recording method utilizing a recording apparatus that is connectable to a printing apparatus for managing attribute information regarding data recordable on a recording medium, associated with an identifier that is added to the recording medium and enables individually identifying the recording medium, the method comprising:
- a reading step of reading the identifier from the recording medium;
- a transmission requesting step of requesting the printing apparatus to transmit attribute information being managed, associated with the identifier;
- an obtaining step of, when the attribute information is received from the printing apparatus in response to the request, obtaining data corresponding to the received attribute information among data stored in a data storage unit;
- and
- a recording step of recording the obtained data on the recording medium.
