Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING PRINTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3195097
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To use development data obtained by development-processing recorded data received from an external device for a use except for recording output, to effectively use the function of the development processing and to reduce the burden on a CPU in the external device.
CONSTITUTION: The output destination address and the output device of development data received from the external device are stored and record data is developed (steps S11-S14). When development ends, development data is transferred to a device on the output destination address through a network if the output destination address of development data does not coincide with the address of a printer controller concerned (steps S15-17). When the output destination address is the printer controller concerned and the output destination device is the printer, recording output is executed. When the output destination device is not the printer, development data is outputted to an external peripheral equipment connected to the printer controller concerned (steps S18-22).
