Print data processing apparatus

摘要

Printing which satisfies an index of performance of a printing apparatus may be unfeasible depending on the sizes of image information and attribute information which a print data processing apparatus transfers to the printing apparatus, a network band, or the index of performance of the printing apparatus. The print data processing apparatus converts a difficult-to-compress attribute contained in the attribute information into an easy-to-compress attribute, and transfers the converted attribute information to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus extracts the attribute converted by the print data processing apparatus, by using the image information.

主权项

1. A print data processing apparatus comprising:
a generating unit configured to generate image information and attribute information from print data; a converting unit configured to convert the attribute information generated by the generating unit; a compressing unit capable of compressing the image information generated by the generating unit and the attribute information converted by the converting unit; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the image information and the attribute information compressed by the compressing unit, as transfer data, to a printing apparatus.
