A printing system is provided that allows coordinates of pen strokes written or drawn with a digital pen to be correctly related to coordinates of application data even when the application data is printed in reduced size. The printing system includes an application data generating unit generating an application data, an area table storing a boundary coordinate and an application data reduction rate of one of a plurality of areas of a position identification pattern, an application data reduction rate selection unit allowing selection of the application data reduction rate, an application data reduction unit reducing the application data by the application data reduction rate selected by the application data reduction selection unit, a print data generating unit generating a print data by combining the reduced application data and one of the plurality of areas of the position identification pattern having in the area table the application data reduction rate selected by the application data reduction rate selection unit; a print unit printing the print data on a recording medium; a digital pen reading the position identification pattern printed on the recording medium to recognize a first coordinate of the digital pen relative to the position identification pattern and transmitting the first coordinate to a coordinate recognition unit, and the coordinate recognition unit receiving the first coordinate from the digital pen and looking up the first coordinate in the area table to find the corresponding application data reduction rate, the coordinate recognition unit thereafter converting the first coordinate into a second coordinate relative to the application data in the original size based on the application data reduction rate. |
