SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING IMAGES

摘要

An image output system connects at least three devices as a server and client via a versatile interface, and outputs an image by transferring data among these devices. In this system, a DSC serves as a client of a storage device and printer. The DSC transmits a list request of image files stored in the storage device to the storage device, which transmits list data of the image files to the DSC together with an identification ID of the list request in response to the list request. When the DSC sends a print instruction to the printer, the printer transmits a request of image data of an image designated by the print instruction to the storage device together with the identification ID, acquires image data from the storage device as the client, and outputs an image.
