<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print controller allowing a start of print processing about a print request from another host even if not finishing receiving all files when directly transferring a multi-picture file having a plurality of pieces of individual picture data to a printer and printing it. <P>SOLUTION: A print-designated individual picture file inside the multi-picture file is relayouted such that the individual picture file is disposed in an upper rank inside the file. The relayouted file is directly transferred to the printer, print mark information of the individual picture data is confirmed from the head of the file on the printer side, the print processing is stopped at the time of detecting an individual picture not performed with a print instruction, and the next print processing is brought into an executable state. At that time, notification by which a host side transferring print data knows that printing is normally ends though the printing is stopped is performed, so that a user can efficiently acquire an output result. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
