摘要

A method for outputting image data generated by an image processing apparatus to a portable storage medium connected to an interface is provided. The method includes the following steps of: issuing an identifier of the image data; writing the identifier into the storage medium without waiting for the image data to be generated completely; after generating the image data, associating the image data with the identifier and storing the image data in a storage portion; reading out the identifier from the storage medium when the storage medium is connected to the interface again; and writing, into the storage medium, the image data stored in the storage portion in association with the identifier thus read out.
