PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the processing waiting time of electronic equipment provided with a sleep mode function. SOLUTION: At the time of performing the activation processing of software provided with a printing data output function, the display processing of a printing paper sheet setting dialog to a display device 113 and the display processing of a printing dialog to the display device 113, a host computer 102 transmits a sleep mode cancellation request signal through communication equipment 109 and a signal transmission line 103 to a printer 101. The printer 101 in a sleep mode cancels the sleep mode in response to the sleep mode cancellation request signal received in the communication equipment 106, performs a warming-up processing in the case that warming-up is required and performs a printing processing at the time of receiving printing data from the host computer 102 thereafter. |
