Printing system, printing apparatus, print setting method and recording medium

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a transmitter that transmits print setting screen data to a terminal apparatus, in response to a request for the print setting screen data, which is received from the terminal apparatus via a network;
• a receiver that receives from the terminal apparatus via the network, print setting data inputted via a print setting screen that is displayed on the terminal apparatus according to the print setting screen data;
• a code generator that generates an appropriate print controlling code for the received print setting data;
• and
• a controller that transmits and stores the print controlling code generated by the code generator, into a memory of the terminal apparatus,
• wherein the terminal apparatus transmits target print data with the print controlling code stored on the memory of the terminal apparatus, to the printing apparatus according to a user operation, and the printing apparatus prints out the target print data according to the print controlling code.

A print setting method comprising:

• accessing a printing apparatus from a terminal apparatus and obtaining print setting screen data stored in the printing apparatus;
• displaying a print setting screen on the terminal apparatus according to the obtained print setting screen data;
• inputting print setting data via the displayed print setting screen;
• transmitting the inputted print setting data to the printing apparatus;
• receiving on the printing apparatus, the print setting data from the terminal apparatus;
• generating on the printing apparatus, an appropriate print controlling code for the received print setting data;
• receiving on the terminal apparatus and storing the appropriate print controlling code generated on the printing apparatus, on a memory of the terminal apparatus;
• transmitting target print data with the print controlling code stored from the terminal apparatus to the printing apparatus according to a user operation;
• and
• printing out the target print data according to the print controlling code on the printing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a print setting program stored therein to make a computer of a printing apparatus execute:

• transmitting print setting screen data to a terminal apparatus, in response to a request for the print setting screen data, which is received from the terminal apparatus via a network;
• receiving from the terminal apparatus via the network, print setting data inputted via a print setting screen that is displayed on the terminal apparatus according to the print setting screen data;
• generating an appropriate print controlling code for the received print setting data;
• transmitting and storing the appropriate print controlling code into a memory of the terminal apparatus;
• receiving the print controlling code stored from the terminal apparatus according to a user operation;
• and
• printing out target print data according to the print controlling code.
