PRINTING CONTROLLER, DATA PROCESSING METHOD FOR THE SAME AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM WHICH COMPUTER CAN READ

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent received or obtained information from being competed and from delaying output by discriminating the designation state of output start time of information obtained from a data processor and an information supply source and controlling the immediate output and designation time output of obtained information. SOLUTION: A judgment means (a time information processing part 303b stored in a ROM 302) analyzes printing information and judges whether time is designated or not. An output control means (a time information processing part 303 stored in the ROM 302) compares designated output start time with present time measured by a timer 311 and outputs picture data generated based on printing information at designated time to a printing part when time designation output is judged to be designated. When time designation output is judged to be not designated, the output control means immediately outputs picture data generated based on received printing information to the printing part.
