XML document data is divided in a page tag unit, and an encoding table is created for each of the XML divided document data. Then, by using the encoding table, the XML divided document data is encoded to create code division data, and then the encoding table and code division data corresponding to the encoding table are sent to a printer. In this manner, the encoding tables with small redundancy and small data size are created, and the encoded XML document data and the code division data in small pieces are sent to the printer. Thus, even an apparatus with a small usable storage area such as an inexpensive printer can decode the XML document data by using the encoding tables with the small data size.
