PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a picture printer based on an IEEE 1394 standard capable of printing picture information inputted from outside and character data such as a program guide with sufficient resolution without providing a vector font and an extra buffer memory. SOLUTION: In an STB 3, a demodulation part 11, a de-scramble part 12, a data conversion part 13 and a demultiplexer part 14 detect and demodulate/ decode the inputted picture information and character data information in the electronic program guide, store the demodulated/decoded character data information in the electronic program guide in a RAM 22 and then, includes it in a packet based on the IEEE 1394 standard to output it to a printer 5. In the printer 5, a data input part 31 inputs the picture information and the character data information included in this packet to detect printing control information and a print engine 33 prints it in accordance with the control of a CPU 23.
