The printer 70 has a prescribed printing speed and informs the host computer 13 of the amount of data to be inputted for a unit time. Based on the amount of data to be inputted for the unit time of which it is informed by the printer 70, the host computer 13 determines a data transfer rate to the printer 70 and transmits data.
