<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques, systems, and computer program products for transmitting data between a computer system and an external printing device. <P>SOLUTION: A technique includes processes of: generating a data packet in accordance with a communications protocol such that generating the data packet includes encoding the data packet according to a second layer of the protocol in a frame format according to a third layer of the protocol; transmitting the data packet from a computer system to an external printing device according to a first layer of the protocol; and decoding the data packet in accordance with the second layer of the protocol. The protocol can be defined to include three layers. In that protocol, the first layer may define transmission line, transmitters, and receivers for transmission, the second layer may define encoding and decoding, and the third layer may define a frame format of the data packet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
